​
Take a Carriage Ride
​
Take a private carriage ride through the streets at dusk and you'll feel like you and your sweetheart are living in a movie. Have the Madison Tour Company pick you up from a romantic dinner and drive along cobblestone streets to see some of the city's most historic mansions.
Have a Drink at the Olde Pink House
One of the most historic restaurants in the city, The Olde Pink House has an intimate bar in the basement that is perfect for a romantic drink. Cozy up on a couch to listen to some live piano playing. Try sampling an appetizer of fried green tomatoes and sipping on one of the restaurant's custom cocktails.
Picnic in Forsyth Park
This 30-acre park is one of the most famous spots in the city - the 19th century cast-iron fountain was designed to resemble the grand fountain in Paris and is nothing short of breathtaking. Local couples love to pack picnics and spend lazy afternoons lounging on blankets beneath shady trees. On Saturdays, there's also a lovely farmer's market.

Go on a Haunted Tour
While it may not seem particularly romantic at the time, haunted tours provide the perfect opportunity to squeeze each other tight. Unofficially crowned "America's Most Haunted City," the city’s long and storied past means there are plenty of spooky sights to see after dark.
