You may think Disneyland is for kids but if you are prepared to get into the prince and princess fantasy of it all, there are a lot of opportunities for romance at the “happiest place on earth,” including a few scary “hold each other tight” rides, as well as the iconic rides like the Mad Tea Party teacups. Topped off with the nightly fireworks, this is a must visit for the romance-conscious traveller.
Or you could try something new. Some of the most memorable experiences I had with a partner in LA was learning to do something new, whether it’s a cooking class ( a surfing lesson ( or even a couple of hours at trapeze school on the Santa Monica pier ( sharing an experience like this can be a great way to bond. a box, or even on the highest bench seats, at the Hollywood Bowl ( This iconic venue has hosted the likes of everyone from The Eagles to Lady G Gaga, and upcoming big actsa this year include New KidsK on the Block, Boyz II MenM and Paula Abdul on JuneJ 2, Blondie on July 9 anda Lionel Richie and Mariah C Carey on July 31. The outdoor concertsco happen only during summersu but, even then it gets coldco in the evenings, so bring a blanketb to keep each other warm.waa And hot tip, the catered HollywoodH bowl boxes from W West Hollywood’s Joan’s on T Third ( are theth best in the city. ViewV There’sT something a little oldo fashioned and inherently romantic about riding a ferris wheel and the best in the city is the solar-powered Ferris Wheel at Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier. It’s the world’s only solarpowered ferris wheel and offers a great view along the coastline. Take photos, and steal a kiss at the top.

It is the largest wholesale jewellery district in the country with close to 5000 businesses. It doesn’t matter what your taste or your budget, they have something special you can leave with for your significant other.
