This post is part of the My Trio Rings Precious Places series, which introduces you to the best places to propose around the country.

Philadelphia is a beautiful city where old meets new. From winding historic walks to gorgeous gardens, a person with an eye for the romantic can find many special places to propose.

3 of the Best Places to Propose in Philadelphia

1. At a Museum

Do you want to propose in Europe without paying for plane fares? On the second floor of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, go to the European art gallery. In the middle of that gallery, you will find a dimly lit room. The room features a rebuilt cloister that has elements from the medieval French building the Abbey of Saint-Genis-des-Fontaines. The cloister offers a quiet, romantic setting for an unforgettable, European-style proposal in any weather.

2. Over Chocolate

Are you unsure about how to best surprise your bride-to-be with a diamond cluster engagement ring? Appeal to both her sweet tooth and her romantic side with a guided Philadelphia chocolate tour. Wander the historic streets of Philadelphia and duck into hidden cafes and chocolate shops. Decide for yourself where the best places to propose are along the way. Just don’t forget to give her the diamond course in between chocolate tastings!

3. Among the Flowers

Is she more of an outdoor woman? Head to one of Philadelphia’s most beautiful spots, the Chanticleer pleasure garden. From the meandering waterfalls of Bell’s Run Creek to the stately Ruin and Gravel Garden to the lush bower of the Cut Flower and Vegetable Garden, this historic garden estate certainly features some of the best places to propose in the greater Philadelphia area.
