Located in the province of Quebec, Montreal is the cultural capital of Canada. Not many cities in the world can compete with Montreal's fantastic array of festivals, food, and cultural events. There's always something to do, which makes it an exciting place to pop the question.

Whether you live in Montreal or you're taking a trip, we've got the ultimate list of best places to propose.

You might have guessed it from the name, but Old Montreal is the oldest area in the city. In fact, this is one of the oldest urban areas in all of North America. It's accessible by foot, and once you're in the area, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. You'll see numerous horse-drawn carriages trotting down the cobbled streets, which is just one way you could propose in Old Montreal. Imagine taking a carriage ride at sunset, surrounded by history, and presenting her with one of our lab grown diamond engagement rings.

The Montreal Botanical Garden is located in the heart of the city and is perfect for all who want a more quiet proposal. The garden spans around 190 acres, which means there are endless proposal spots to choose from. For example, there's a Chinese garden, a Japanese garden, and a garden with just Canadian plants. You could scope out the perfect spot beforehand or spontaneously choose somewhere special as you and your sweetheart walk through the gardens.

Mount Royal is a hill that's west of downtown Montreal. If you're looking for a place with a gorgeous view of Montreal, this is it.

Or, you could venture to the summit at night after dinner and with a glass of champagne. However you choose to propose in this spot, be sure to take some time to gaze at that beautiful horizon.

Here's another spot in the city that guarantees a picture-perfect proposal. This is a historic area in Montreal, which you'll be able to see in the architecture of the Victorian homes. Go for a stroll, eat at a local restaurant, or rest on a bench and take in your surroundings. One thing is certain about Saint-Louis Square: romance is its air, which is why it's one of our best places to propose. This is also a great spot for people-watching if that's something you and your partner like to do together. Imagine pointing out someone in the crowd and while she's distracted, get ready for your big moment. When she turns back to you, she'll be surprised to see you down on one knee with a ring in hand.
