Sure, there's romantic music, romantic meals and even romantic poetry, but nothing symbolizes romance quite as effectively as a beautiful rose. The two of you can enjoy the multilayer bouquet of sights and smells when you stroll hand in hand on a date at the Reinisch Rose Garden. The walking paths are lined with beautiful roses and even offer several small benches where you and your sweetheart can sit and take it all in. The garden is home to 6,500 bushes of roses that are captivatingly presented over 2 ½ acres.

Harley aficionados are a different breed, and that is most definitely a good thing. If you or someone close to you embraces the Harley lifestyle, then a visit to the Topeka Harley-Davidson Museum is a definite must whenever you are in town. When you step into this highly unique museum, you will see approximately 30 different and rare Harley-Davidson motorcycles all consummately displayed so as to highlight every detail. There is also an equally impressive collection of pictures, tools, and collectibles that are all associated with this iconic motorcycle.

If you and your friends are out and want to grab a few drinks in a truly comfortable, no-frills environment, then make your way over to Topeka's Matinee Club. Don't let the name fool you, this charmingly low-key nightlife venue is one of those places that makes little effort to draw attention to itself. Instead, the bartenders, waitresses and fellow guests all enjoy the relaxed if somewhat detached mood of the place. Come in, enjoy a few rounds, and feel like you've been at a friend's house who doesn't like to make a big deal about things, but you still manage to have a great time in his company anyway.
