With some of the best restaurants in the country, beautiful architecture, stunning Pacific Ocean beaches, diverse neighborhoods, and a fantastic art scene, San Francisco offers something to melt the heart of anyone.
8. Florence
Of course, any city in Italy would be a delightful place for a romantic vacation. The beautiful countryside, the sea, the people, everything conspires to please. However, Florence is a great pick for spring to avoid the crowds in Rome and Venice. Go for the art, fall in love with the food, and toast your relationship with the wine!
7. Athens
Greece is the epitome of a city-sea destination. Spring is a great time to visit because it is warm without being too hot. Get your fill of history and amazing cuisine while soaking in the sun. Day trips to the nearby islands and watching the sunset from the beach or water are required for any lovebirds.

Combining access to beautiful mountains, parks, beaches, museums, galleries, concerts, restaurants, and history, Barcelona is incredibly well-rounded.
