If you don’t have time to get away, why not book a tour for a few hours? Take a Haunted Walk of Kingston, Ottawa or Toronto and hear ghost stories by lantern light. Or visit the Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre Centre to tour the last operating “double-decker” theatre in the world & see the world’s largest collection of vaudeville scenery.

What could be more romantic than that!?  They also do European Beer Tours, if you have the time to get away.
