The Best Places to Hang Your Love Lock ...

Love locks have become a 21st century symbol of romance. Famously suggested in Federico Moccia's novels Tre Metri sopra il Cielo (Three Meters above the Sky) and Ho Voglia di Te (I Desire You), placing your padlock on a bridge has become a worldwide tradition - although it is widely believed that the origins are in China a long time before the Moccia novels. Sadly, some bridges become overburdened and the locks are removed but there are still some great places where you can make this heartfelt gesture. And new places are beginning to become popular.
