On Valentine's Day, we are proud to announce that the beautiful city of Orange has been crowned Australia's Most Romantic City!

Preply, an online language learning marketplace, conducted a recent study to identify the top 10 most romantic cities in Australia, with Orange emerging as the undeniable winner. Preply assessed seven categories: hotels, romantic eateries, couple activities, and volumes of romance-related searches such as flower gifting, online dating, and proposals. Scores out of five were allocated to each city or town based on aggregated results.
