We're putting out the question to all of Melbourne's love birds, because we're looking for Melbourne's most romantic spot. We want those places that make your heart flutter, or those experiences that just can't be beaten. Paris may just be the city of love, but we're certain Melbourne is full of its own share of lovely places too.
The Royal Botanic Gardens are definitely a romantic place to try. Wander the paths with your significant other, marvelling at all the beauty around you, or prepare a picnic to enjoy on the lush green grass. If you want to score extra points, bring a date here for a visit to the
Moonlight Cinema. It puts regular movie dates to shame, and definitely doubles the romance.
You might enjoy admiring nature, but find that the
Yarra River is the most romantic spot. Why not take a private boat ride, or just admire the sites from the riverbank. You could even try the
Spirit of Melbourne Cruising Restaurant, and get a candlelit table for two, as you watch the river wash past you. You'll probably be able to find a spark if you head along to the Yarra River.
The beach is also a popular place for young lovers to head. Watching the sunset at
St. Kilda Beach could be your idea of a dream date. If sunsets get your heart racing, then you could also check out our readers tips for where to find the

Otherwise, you might find that Melbourne is romantic enough in its own right, and rambling through
laneways is a romantic experience that just can't be beat. You might have found a romantic patisserie that ignites passion, or a bar that has a romantic table just for two.
We know that Melbourne has charm, and plenty of it, but does it have romance in its streets and laneways? Sometimes you'll find a place is romantic simply because of the memories you've made there. Other places ooze with romance, even when you're wandering through them all alone. Let us know the spots that have a special place in your heart, and help us find the most romantic spot in Melbourne.
