San Francisco est régulièrement considérée comme l'une des villes les plus romantiques du monde. À chaque coin de rue, nos cinq sens sont sollicités par des vues spectaculaires, l'arôme de la cuisine internationale, le bruit des téléphériques, le pschitt de l'eau salée sur notre peau et le goût d'un bon vin, d'une bière artisanale ou d'un cocktail classique.

Peu importe que vous soyez un romantique refoulé ou un adepte du PDA, cette ville a été conçue pour les couples les plus amoureux. Voici ma liste de suggestions pour en mettre plein la vue à votre chéri(e), que ce soit à l'occasion de la Saint-Valentin ou d'une simple soirée paresseuse.

1. Le Golden Gate Bridge est le point de repère par excellence pour planter un tendre baiser... que vous traversiez la travée à pied dans le brouillard mystérieux ou que vous naviguiez sous le pont à bord d'une croisière gastronomique de City Cruises San Francisco.

2. Rent a paddle boat at Blue Heron Lake (formerly Stow Lake) in Golden Gate Park and hold hands while making your way around Strawberry Hill and under two quiet stone bridges, where you can find a little privacy for a quick peck.

3. Indulge in a sophisticated evening on the Bay with a San Francisco Premier Dinner Cruise. Enjoy expertly crafted cocktails, a seasonal, chef-prepared plated menu, and exceptional service throughout your journey. Live entertainment creates the perfect ambiance as you take in breathtaking views of the San Francisco skyline from both our climate-controlled interior and open-air rooftop decks. Marvel at iconic landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and the Bay Bridge.

4. Lands End is where the bay meets the ocean, so enjoy a leisurely stroll overlooking the city’s most dramatic coastline. There are plenty of nooks and crannies to steal away a kiss.

5. Underneath the dome of the Palace of Fine Arts, a relic from the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exhibition, this picturesque park is flanked with a small lagoon, swans a-swimming and the Greco-Roman style Rotunda with colonnades.

6. The carousel at PIER 39 is perfect if you want to bring out your romantic innocence. Climb aboard adjacent bobbing horses on the carousel and test your skills of kissing in motion.

7. Sutro Heights Park is located just above the iconic Cliff House, overlooking Ocean Beach, which is ideal for viewing the expansive sunset.

8. The graveyard at Mission Dolores is one of the legendary sites of Alfred Hitohcock’s “Vertigo,” which features a romantic interlude between Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart. While some may get spooked by graves, it is notoriously romantic and usually very quiet, except for those underfoot.

9. Fisherman’s & Seaman’s Chapel boasts one of the best views of the bay, its two bridges, and parading vessels. This is a remote little corner where only those in the know would venture off to watch the bay go by – located between Fisherman’s Grotto #9 and Pier 45.

10. The Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park features several meandering pathways and quiet corners, but a kiss atop the Moon Bridge makes for a perfect photo op.
