Whether your partner claims they are "not the romantic type," in romantic relationships, love and romance cannot exist without the other. Their way of showing love might be just different from the canonical "I'll fight the dragons for you."

Whatever one's idea of it, romance is at the heart of a loving, long-lasting relationship and arguably the secret key to making the "honeymoon phase" last forever. And with the abundance of romantic sites and honeymoon destinations on Earth, there will always be a romantic place to visit to rekindle and reignite your relationship, whether it needs a little (or big) pick me up or just an escape from routine.

Among the many romantic things couples can do together is traveling. And with so many romantic destinations on Earth, at least a few of them should make it to every couple's bucket list. The many romantic places, whether located in your country of residence or on the other side of the world, have this magical ability to bring back that "high" feeling that new lovers often experience.

Whether it's the fresh scent of a place you have never been to, pixie dust mixed with golden sands, pheromones in the air, or Cupid sprinkling love dust over your drinks, the most romantic places in the world tend to do that to you — have you falling in love with life and your partner all over again. If you are ready for potentially life-changing trips to some of the most romantic places in the world, keep on scrolling since we've compiled a list of some of the best honeymoon destinations and the most romantic places in the US and the rest of the globe.

As a finishing note, we also want to add that, at the end of the day, traveling is a luxury that not everyone is fortunate enough to afford. Hence, although we did try to include a wide array of options to accommodate different budgets as well as international readers, don't worry if any romantic locations on the list do not fit your budget.

With so many affordable and cheap date ideas, there are numerous ways to wow your loved one without spending a fortune. Some of the happiest couples stay together for decades, not because they've visited the Eiffel Tower in Paris or ridden a gondola in Italy, but for reasons way beyond that. Just some food for thought.

Florence, Italy

Florence roof top view in the evening

It's hardly surprising to see Italy once again on this list. Nonetheless, one of the most charming sites on Earth is the Italian city of Florence, loved by some of the greatest painters of all time, Leonardo Da Vinci, Botticelli, Fra Angelico, and Giorgio Vasari. The city embodies romance and offers beautiful sights that tug at your heartstrings. Imagine walking down the banks of the Arno river at dusk, as the sun casts a golden glow over the Ponte Vecchio, a medieval stone arch bridge, or even in the early winter morning hours as the fog caresses the nearby houses — wherever, whenever you go, and whatever you do, this charming city is oozing with romance.

Kyoto, Japan

Many tourists gravitate toward Tokyo, the thriving capital of Japan, yet Kyoto might be the quintessential Japanese city for romance. Kyoto, Japan's historical and cultural center, is home to several Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, traditional inns, and beautiful gardens. There is more to it than just history, though; the cuisine is some of the best in Japan, the locals are kind, and the breathtaking scenery is set in a bowl of mountains. This is Japan at its most romantic!

Many of our picks have emphasized the peace and tranquility that golden shores can offer. However, it doesn't get any better than this. A wonderfully remote island in French Polynesia is as close to heaven as it gets. In a tranquil location like Bora Bora, you are invited to unwind, soak up the sun, and enjoy romantic meals. However, for those seeking active fun, the island also offers many vigorous activities, such as safaris and shark feedings, paragliding, and boat rides on the lagoon.

Hamilton Island, Australia

Small island surrounded by water

If you haven't been to Australia's Whitsunday Islands yet, add them to your travel bucket list right about now. However, just for a second, forget that the largest populated island in the Whitsundays is situated next to Heart Reef (exactly as it states: a perfectly heart-shaped coral reef). Hamilton Island might be more suitable for those who share Australia's obsession with jumping into adrenaline-inducing situations than for your average doe-eyed couple. Together, you and your partner may explore world-class diving locations in the Great Barrier Reef's clear seas and the island's off-road paths, which provide a nerve-wracking ride through the dense jungle. Hamilton Island might be your best bet if the latter sounds like the most romantic date idea ever.

The best months, though, are January through March, when the water is at its calmest and the sky is forever sapphire blue.

California offers many lovely opportunities for couples, yet one of the finest ways to rekindle the flames is with a romantic visit to the beautiful Palm Springs. This famous vacation spot, also loved by celebrities, is known for its gorgeous sunny weather, golf courses, hotel options, and hot springs. However, dining al fresco is the traditional way to begin a romantic weekend there.

San José Del Cabo, Mexico

San Jose del Cabo is another romantic vacation spot with a traditional Mexican charm. The city serves as Los Cabos's historical, political, and cultural epicenter. Thanks to the abundance of luxurious lodging options, stunning beaches, pubs, and waterfront restaurants, you may have a beautiful time with your S/O there. Also, horseback riding is a super romantic activity for couples, no matter where it takes place. However, in San José del Cabo, you can do it on Costa Azul's white sand beaches, which takes the whole horse-riding activity to another level of romance. If you truly want to wow your partner, time your ride to match with sunset. This will definitely be the highlight of your trip.

Budapest, Hungary

River with a massive lit up building in the evening

Honeymooners love Hungary and especially its capital Budapest. The Danube River, rich culture, and cavernous underworld are well-known features. The best sights in this gorgeous city include Buda Castle & Castle Hill, St. Stephen's Basilica, Fisherman's Bastion, Exploring Gellért Hill, and Central Market Hall. These locations in Budapest are ideal for strolling hand-in-hand and having a blast with your partner in crime. Likewise, we recommend a Bonnie & Clyde-themed restaurant aptly called Bonnie Restro, located right in the city center, for some bohemian, retro, and cool vibes! And delicious food, of course. Goulash and cheesy gnocchi, in particular, if you were wondering.
