Love padlocks are a custom by which padlocks are affixed to a fence, gate, bridge or similar by couples at a number of destinations in Europe and throughout the World. Couples do this to symbolize their undying love for one another and once they have attached the padlock they throw away the key.

Here are some of the top love padlock locations from around the World that we have been able to find around the internet.

Paris, France

Rome, Italy

Seoul, South Korea
