Apart from the fact that you’ll most likely have perfect warm weather (it has over 300 days of sunshine each year!), Valencia offers it all: easily accessible beaches, a vibrant street art scene, unique festivals, stunning architecture, and, of course, its world-famous paella!
Whether you’re imagining a proposal in front of an iconic landmark or tucked away on a charming cobblestone street in the Old Town, Valencia is a dream destination for couples ready to take that next step. In this guide, we’ll reveal the best places to propose in Valencia to make your moment unforgettable.
1. Puente de las Flores
The Puente de las Flores is undoubtedly one of the most romantic spots to propose in Valencia. Designed by renowned Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava, this “Bridge of Flowers” crosses the scenic Turia Gardens and is decorated with 27,000 colorful flowerpots. The vibrant red, orange and pink blooms, combined with a sprinkle of wedding white, create a dreamy, romantic atmosphere, ideal to make the moment truly unforgettable.
The perfect proposal:
Stroll hand in hand across the wooden pathway, find a quiet corner, soak in the surroundings, and pop the question with a sea of flowers as your witness. Afterward, cozy up on one of the many benches, savoring the magic of the moment.

For those looking for a quiet, secluded garden setting, Jardines de Monforte is a hidden gem for a Valencia proposal. This beautiful neoclassical garden features elegant statues, fountains, and well-manicured hedges that create an intimate atmosphere. The garden is considered one of the most beautiful corners of Valencia for good reason and it makes for one of the top spots to get engaged in the city.

3. Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències
While Valencia may be known for being the birthplace of paella, the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències is the city’s second biggest draw! This futuristic complex is a must-see for visitors, boasting six buildings and a bridge, among which you’ll find plenty of different romantic spots for a proposal.
Designed by the aforementioned Santiago Calatrava and Mexican-Spanish architect Félix Candela, the City of Arts and Sciences is also recognized as one of The 12 Treasures of Spain.
The perfect proposal:
We particularly like L’Umbracle, a mesmerizing sculpture garden and landscaped pathway adorned with native plant species found in Valencia, or a secluded spot by the tranquil water pool that mirrors the architectural beauty of the place.

The park features a lake with artificial beaches, a pier, a typical Mediterranean riverbank and a lookout point.
