While not a must, healthy love between partners can be enhanced by romantic nights out. After all who doesn’t love spending time with their hubby. With Melbourne being Australia’s second-biggest city, it is a great place to spend some time with your partner. Boasting of beautiful skylines, bustling nightlife and picturesque gardens, there is no better place to enjoy some romance together. Not just pretty scenery, Melbourne offers everything from dinner cruises to romantic old-world theatres and intimate jazz clubs. So leave your home with a peace of mind, call up your local nanny agency and clear your evening plans for the magical evening of your dreams.
Here are a few places that will spark the romance in your life:
Watching the Sunset
Melbourne has got you covered in terms of sunset dinners. Be it contemplative or romantic. The choice is yours. The rooftop bar on Swanston street is many Melbournians first choice to enjoy wine and watch the sunset. Complete with cady striped deckchairs, a well-stocked bar, an outdoor cinema and beautiful turf where you can sit and watch the sunset over the impressive skyscrapers.
Melbourne Planetarium
For a date that is out of this world, consider visiting the Melbourne Planetarium, where you can watch the stars and comic presentation over an impressive 16-metre domed ceiling.
Contemplate the wonders of the universe with your partner as you watch the visual display accompanied by dazzling audio, followed by a live presentation of the beautiful night sky — no better way to make your affections soar.
Icebar Melbourne
Time to break the ice at the Ice Bar, which is the only one in Australia. A place where you can try a drink in the subzero temperatures and play avalanche Jenga. You are fully equipped with gloves, snow boots and capes to protect against the cold. If that doesn’t keep you warm a romantic cuddle with your love surely will.
Chocoholic Tour
For a yummy date, head to Chocolate Lanes and Arcade Tours. Time to indulge in a chocoholic tour through Melbourne with ten different chocolate tastings, including a cacao tasting. A tasty tour including morning and afternoon tea, wine and delicate treats all for couples to enjoy.
Escape Room
Locked in a room and forced to solve cryptic puzzles, having a date at the escape room can be an excellent way to explore your relationship. Discover the strengths of each other and learn to work together to solve riddles and puzzles. There is a range of lingual, physical, lateral and mathematical brain teasers that must get solved within a time frame.
Rock Climbing
Take your relationship to new heights with the walls at Hard Rock Climbing. You will build trust as one of you climbs to the top as the other holds the rope. Twenty-eight climbing walls overlook Swanston street. For $30 you can gain entry, shoe hire, harness and all-day climbing.
Secret Foodies
A date often includes dinner; there is nothing typical about Secret Foodies. Secret Foodies is a surprise event that gets hosted at an undisclosed location which is only given to you after you have purchased tickets. If you are dating a foodie, but suck at cooking, this is a promising evening they won’t get forgotten.
