Love is in the air! From sea to shining sea, through grain waves, there are so many destinations that qualify as the most romantic places in the United States. Indeed, these United States of America have a good number of cities and sites that are among the best places for a couple's vacation in the United States.

While Europe is often seen as the iconic birthplace of beautiful romance, it's not always possible to fly to Paris or Rome. If you live in the United States, like us, you may be vacationing closer to home. If so, are you hoping to escape on one of the many magical romantic getaways in the United States?

From Rhode Island to New Orleans and beyond, there are countless options to treat yourself to sweetness and love. Take a look below and find out where the best romantic spots in the USA are!

New Orleans, Louisiana

With its beautiful French Quarter area and many sights, New Orleans is one of many perfect choices for romantic getaways in the United States.

Perhaps most associated with Mardi Gras, there's so much more to this city than a huge carnival (although it's a fun time to visit!).

We have some romantic favorites in New Orleans. One of our favorite experiences was taking a steamboat cruise with dinner on the Mississippi River.

It was a great evening with live jazz, great views of the city and, of course, a steamboat experience!

New Orleans is without a doubt one of the most romantic cities in the United States!

Other fun things we enjoyed doing were sipping coffee at Cafe Beignet, people watching in Jackson Square, take the old streetcars and visit some of the old houses downtown.

Naturally, there are also some wonderfully romantic restaurants in New Orleans for a night out as a couple, somewhere like Bacchanal would do just fine, followed by maybe some salsa at Chris Owens Nightclub?

Whatever you decide to do, we're sure New Orleans will be the perfect romantic city for you and your partner!

San Francisco, California

California has its fair share of romantic getaways in the United States. San Francisco is one such destination.

There's a reason so many screenwriters put their rom-coms in San Francisco: it's a beautiful place to fall in love. And it's a wonderful place to take that special someone.
