A gorgeous skyline, picturesque parks, and iconic historic buildings – that’s Philly. You can say what you want about our city, but you can’t say it’s not beautiful. Well… you could, but you’d be lying! If you love Philly as much as we do and are so in love you’re ready to pop the question, you’ve come to the right place. We want you to have the most phenomenal city proposal, so we’re coming in hot with our best proposal spots in Philly!
Get down on one knee at one of these 8 iconic spots:
Interested in taking your proposal to the next level? Cira Green is the perfect place! Head to the 12th level of Cira Centre South for incredible 360-degree city views that’ll make your special moment unforgettable. Amplify your garden rooftop proposal with flameless candles and rose petals, or let the Philly skyline shine on its own. Either way, it’ll be picture-perfect!
The Ben Franklin Bridge is one of the iconic historic landmarks that we gravitate towards. That’s why Race Street Pier is a popular proposal spot; that bridge view never gets old! But, why propose next to the bridge when you can go onto the bridge instead?! It’s edgy, it’s different, and the pictures will be killer. Trust us with this one and take your proposal to new heights!
One of our favorite Philly landmarks, the Art Museum Steps a.k.a. the Rocky Steps are easily one of the best proposal spots ever. After climbing 72 steps, you’ll be met with truly breathtaking city views. Proposal photos at this location live in our minds rent-free – we’ve never seen one we didn’t love! If you’re lucky, you can catch a chill day and feel like you have the entire city to yourself. We highly recommend this choice!
Kelly Drive isn’t just for running and biking! It’s actually the perfect proposal spot if you’re looking for city views (and an all-around gorgeous backdrop) that are a bit more secluded and personal. Plus it’s absolutely perfect for every season; whether it’s the fall leaves in autumn, the snow in the winter, the cherry blossoms in the spring, or a gorgeous summer sunset. You can’t go wrong getting down on one knee anywhere along Kelly Drive – at any time of year!
The year-round lights on Addison Street make this most illuminated spot to propose! It’s definitely a fan favorite, and we love to see it. The glimmering tree-lined streets do all the work to make the proposal photo-ready; no rose petals or LED letters needed! Just bring yourself, your future fiancé, and that beautiful rock!
Nothing puts the love in LOVE Park like a proposal. From the well-known LOVE sign to the Swann Memorial Fountain behind it in Logan Square to City Hall, this engagement is guaranteed to be beautiful. Make this proposal even more special by adding any decor that you think will match the vibes perfectly. Allow yourself to really be in the moment; feeling assured that you picked one of the best proposal spots!
Located in Fairmount Park, Belmont Plateau is arguably the BEST place to go to see Philly’s skyline. And let’s be honest, Philly’s skyline is top 2 and it’s not 2. Not only is the view at the Plat incredible, but the massive grassy hill makes it possible to create a private moment even when it’s crowded. While this is one of the best proposal spots the city has to offer, day or night, the city will really pop in the background of a night proposal!
Our most public option on the list, JG Skyhigh is the best proposal spot for the significant other who loves to be the center of attention. They are the moment; and they’re sure to feel like they’re on top of the world while on the 60th floor of the Comcast Technology Center! Get all dressed up for this classy restaurant, pretend it’s just a date night, and then BOOM! Steal the show, nail the proposal, and take in those fire views.
