It is hard to imagine anything more romantic than Paris, but how about a dinner at Blue Lagoon Restaurant at Disneyland Paris Resort (map)? This waterside restaurant is set within the fort of the Pirates of...

REVIEW: Flores Restaurant – Chic Dining in Lisbon
Part of Lisbon’s first contemporary boutique hotel – Hotel Bairro Alto (map), Flores (Flowers) restaurant has managed to keep up the modern trendy-chic atmosphere.
On the right corner of the hotel lobby, as you enter into Flores you also pierce into a secluded room away from Chiados fuss. Serenity abounds in here and everything is made to assure you a tranquil evening. On the walls, black and white photos of Lisbon contrast with old style tiles. A superb combination of classic and modern...

‘Lovers’ Day’ in Rio
February 14 may be a distant romantic memory to Westerners, but here in Rio the city is gearing up for Dia dos Namorados (lovers’ day) – Brazil’s version of Valentine’s Day.
Celebrated on June 12th, the most romantic date on the Brazilian calendar is an excuse for those sultry, sexy cariocas (Rio natives) to turn the romance factor up to 11, and the stores are awash with perfumes, lingerie and other suitably sensual gifts.
Of course, as with Valentine’s Day, the best...

Sydney Photo Friday: Mrs Macquarie’s Chair
With Valentine’s Day upon us tomorrow I thought I’d take a look at one of Sydney’s most romantic spots, Mrs Macquarie’s Chair.
In 1810 New South Wales Governor Lachlan Macquarie got the convicts to carve this chair from sandstone rock for his wife Elizabeth. What a romantic gesture!
Word is that she used to sit at this spot near Sydney Harbour and watch the English ships sail in. The views are still some of Sydney’s best!
