We’re not sure we agree but this is the most romantic landmark in the U.S. according to a new report

It's not too early to start thinking about Valentine's Day and, if you're looking to light a spark by taking your special someone to a spot that's so beautiful it takes your breath away, then a new study by travel specialists Go2Africa has the info you need.

Ahead of that most romantic day of the year, Go2Africa analyzed nearly 1.5 million reviews left by couples at more than 200 landmarks around the world, ranking destinations by the percentage of four- and five-star ratings, to determine which ones are the most romantic. The results are far from predictable (the Eiffel Tower in Paris didn't even make the top 20) and just one U.S. landmark made the list.

Topping the global ranking is Switzerland’s Matterhorn, with an almost perfect approval rating from couples. Reviewers describe it as “unforgettable” and “awe-inducing,” praising everything from glacier views to scenic train rides through the Alps. Close behind is Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni, the vast salt flats that turn into a giant mirror during rainy season, and Sydney Harbour, the highest-ranked urban destination, where sunsets come with Opera House views and long waterfront walks.

Coming in at number 7, the only U.S. landmark to make the global top 20 list is the Grand Canyon. It also takes the title of most romantic place in America. Couples rave about the scale, the colors and the quiet moments, calling it “truly breathtaking” and saying they “can’t imagine a more romantic location.” It’s also a popular place to get married, because epic love needs an epic backdrop.

While the Grand Canyon stands alone on the world stage, Go2Africa’s report also highlights the most romantic landmarks in every U.S. state. In New York, Central Park’s bridges and hidden paths do the job. California’s Golden Gate Bridge remains a classic, especially when the fog rolls in. Colorado’s Garden of the Gods offers red rock formations and sunset views that feel almost unreal. Elsewhere, couples are finding romance in coastal lighthouses, mountain overlooks, historic squares and quiet national parks.

These are the spots that are sure to spark romance, so if you're thinking about a Valentine's Day trip, check out the full report for inspiration.
