A romantic way to spend your 27th wedding anniversary is to take a trip to your local art museum and admire the sculptures. If you are blessed with a gift for art, an alternative is to enrol the two of you in a sculpture course so you can each sculpt a unique, personalized or even practical gift for your other half.
Italy and Greece are home to some of the founding fathers of sculpting so why not surprise your other half with a weekend away exploring the endless art collections that these countries have to offer?Italy and Greece also happen to be two of the most romantic countries in the world, so whether you spend your time enjoying romantic meals out or island hopping around the Aegean Sea, it will be an anniversary to remember.
Lastly, if your budget allows for a luxury holiday, then book two tickets straight to New York. Not only can you enjoy everything this fun city has to offer, but you can also see one of the most famous sculptures in the world, the Statue of Liberty.
