A sunset cruise, candlelit tapas, or a picnic in the park? Whatever you and your lover decide, you'll have no trouble finding it in a vibrant city like Boston. TravelSkoot's list of top romance spots in the city will ensure you have nothing but fun and excitement on your next city date.
Boston Harbor Cruises will show you the city, its history, and characters—while you relax aboard ship. They offer narrated tours to "Old Ironsides," the USS Constitution, at her home in the Charlestown Navy Yard, with an option to disembark. Other excursions include a narrated tour of the Charles River, with spectacular views of the Boston and Cambridge skylines; Lighthouse Cruises that illustrates an important strand of New England's heritage; and 90-minute Sunset Cruises that share the lore of Boston Harbor, until the USS Constitution lowers her flag and fires her sunset cannon.

Share a meal with a loved one at Tapas at Tapeo Restaurant and Tapas Bar. This Back Bay Spanish-style tapas restaurant offers over 40 regional tapas and desserts like "Ravioles de Mariscos Lobster," "Croquetas de Pollo" and more. If you are looking to spice up your night, then sip on a drink from the extensive wine, sherry and spirits list like their famous red sangria. And don't let the small plates fool you, because you’ll become full fast. So, save room for something sweet off the dessert menu like the "Tarta de Santiago" or the "Ubiquitous Flan."

Walk along the brick sidewalks as you pass 19th century row houses with brass knockers on their doors. This prestigious neighborhood's architecture is protected by historical society restrictions in an effort to preserve this antique setting.
