Brandon Wade, Founder & CEO of MissTravel.com is not surprised that Istanbul is the top choice for romance, as he makes a habit of stopping by the Turkish city every couple of years. "Istanbul is a beautiful place, with an amazing backdrop for romance. It has a perfect blend of European and Asian influences, with old world charm that is hard to come by these days," says Wade. "The history and unique culture of the city attracts people from all over the world, and at night the city is vibrant with glowing mosques and a buzzing night life. With Istanbul on your side, you will find it nearly impossible not to fall in love- with the city and your travel companion!"

“All cities are not created equal,” he continued. “Picking the right destination could mean the difference between finding a platonic connection and falling in love.”
