Here's our comprehensive state-by-state guide to romantic getaways in the USA. It's loaded with hotels, attractions and things for couples to see & do in America's most romantic places.  


Our Top 3 Romantic Escapes in America

1. New York City - when you boil it right down, no other place on the continent has quite what the Big Apple has in terms of great travel experiences. There's a never-ending supply of things to do, the variety of food (both cheap eats and fine dining) is always amazing, and the people have a vibrancy unique in the U.S.

2. San Francisco - travelling to San Francisco for a weekend and loving it just never gets old. While other cities seem to struggle and age, there's just more fascinating angles to the Bay Area than ever before. And 100 miles both north and south gives you the gift of awe-inspiring coastlines.

3. New England - picture-perfect villages, scenic roadways, and some of the best B&B accommodation in the country are waiting in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts. And can there be anywhere better to experience the Autumn foliage season?
