  1. Forest Lawn Cemetery (1411 Delaware Avenue)

Forest Lawn Cemetery - Facebook Okay, so most people’s fairytale scenarios don’t end up in a cemetery, but hear us out! Forest Lawn Cemetery is much more than just a burial ground. This popular Buffalo location boasts bridges, waterways, and well maintained sidewalks for your romantic stroll.

  1. Fountain Plaza (580 Main Street)

Buffalo Place - Facebook Last but not least, Fountain Plaza is often overlooked as being one of the most beautiful places in Buffalo. While it might get a bit of hustle and bustle during the average work day, Fountain Plaza transforms into a fairytale when all is calm. Enjoy the views on the reflecting pool and even ice skate on it in the winter months. This place is a dream!
