Romantic Locations in Belgium For Outdoor Lovers
1. Bruges
Often called the "Venice of the North," Bruges is famous for its medieval architecture, cobblestone streets, and serene canals. A proposal on a private boat ride under the city’s illuminated bridges or in the tranquil Minnewater Park, known as the 'Lake of Love,' can be incredibly romantic.
2. Brussels
The Grand Place, with its ornate guildhalls and the stunning Town Hall, provides a grand and impressive backdrop for a proposal, especially when lit up at night. The Mont des Arts, offering a beautiful view of the central city, is another picturesque location.
3. Ghent
Propose by the Gravensteen, a medieval castle with a fairytale feel, or along the Graslei and Korenlei streets with their beautiful row of historical buildings reflecting in the river Lys.
“Suzanne was amazing! I utilized the layaway service and it was a breeze. Ring made its way to Texas and was even more gorgeous in person."

4. Tournai
With its five towering spires, the Notre Dame Cathedral in Tournai provides a dramatic and historic setting. The quaint streets and ancient buildings of the city add to the ambiance.
5. Durbuy
Known as the 'smallest city in the world', Durbuy is charming with its tiny streets and quaint buildings. A proposal in the historic town square or during a walk along the River Ourthe would be memorable.
6. Ardennes
For nature lovers, the scenic beauty of the Ardennes, with its dense forests, rolling hills, and hidden castles, offers a secluded and intimate setting. A proposal during a hike or at a viewpoint overlooking the valleys could be breathtaking.
7. Royal Greenhouses of Laeken - Brussels
Available to the public only a few weeks each year during the spring, the stunning architecture and lush plant life create a truly unique and regal environment for a proposal.
Romantic Destinations in Belgium
Belgium is full of romantic cities, vineyards and formula 1. These are some especially romantic locations for a proposal over a glass of wine, at a spectacular race, or at a beautiful vineyard.
8. Vineyards
Located in the picturesque village of Bioul in Wallonia, Chateau de Bioul vineyard not only produces great wines but also offers a charming backdrop with its beautiful castle and gardens. They offer tours and tastings that could be a prelude to the perfect proposal.

9. Formula 1 - Belgian Grand Prix
The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is famous for its beautiful setting in the Ardennes forest. One of the most scenic spots is the area around Eau Rouge and Raidillon, known for its dramatic elevation change and iconic status. This could be a fantastic backdrop for your proposal.
10. Dinant
This small town in Wallonia is beautifully situated along the Meuse River and dominated by the cliff-top Citadel and the impressive Collegiate Church of Notre Dame. Proposing on a boat ride on the Meuse offers a serene setting with spectacular views of the town and its landmarks.
