A national website that highlights more than 500 of the nation’s best places to live and visit named Cambridge as one of America’s top ten most romantic cities.

Livability.com announced today that Cambridge pulled in the eighth spot because of its “world famous universities, historic mansions, bookstores, and dynamic arts scene that make this river city so enchanting.”

The site also pointed to the city’s downtown scene, which offers a solid selection of music venues, theaters, bistros, and art galleries.

Somehow, despite all that romantic flair, Scottsdale managed to steal the number one spot.

Check out the full list of Livability.com’s Top 10 Romantic Cities:

1. Scottsdale, AZ

3. Bend, OR
4. Charlottesville, VA
5. Santa Fe, NM
