A Canadian city was ranked among the most romantic in the world and it's low-key surprising

It's not Montreal!

If you're dreaming of a romantic getaway with your boo, one Canadian city just got major love on a global ranking — and no, it's not the cobblestone charm of Montreal or the ocean views of Vancouver.

Surprisingly, Calgary is the place to spice things up, according to a new list by Pour Moi. The Alberta city landed in 19th place among the 50 most romantic cities in the world, trailing behind Toronto, which ranked an impressive fourth.

The list was put together by analyzing reviews, couple-friendly things to do, and Instagram data to find the cities where love is truly in the air.

Apparently, people are really feeling the romance in Calgary — sharing dreamy #DateNight posts and calling the city straight-up romantic. It earned a spot alongside global icons like Paris, Barcelona, and Honolulu, which says something.

Sure, Toronto might have taken the top Canadian spot, but Calgary has its own unique vibe when it comes to romance.

Think top-tier dining like the sleek and stylish Major Tom, plus tons to do right in the city.

And, of course, being in Alberta means mountain getaways are just a short drive away. Nothing says "romantic weekend" like cozying up in a little mountain town.

So if you're craving a trip with serious spark potential, it might be time to look West.
