OVERVIEW
The capital of Italy’s Veneto region, Venice is known for being quite possibly one of the most romantic destinations that the planet has to offer. Built on more than 100 islands in a lagoon situated on the Adriatic Sea, it consists of only canals.
Why choose Venice for your honeymoon?
With there being no roads, honeymooners can take a romantic stroll along the canal side, or a beautiful ride on a traditional Venetian gondola, following in Casanova’s footsteps. Stay in luxurious four or five-star hotels along the Venetian waterside which overlooks some of the world’s most infamous bridges. From studying the fine Venetian art at the Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari to exploring the Dorsoduro, Venice’s picturesque views are not the only thing this romantic city has to offer couples and honeymooners.
What to see and do during your stay
As well as breath-taking views, this incredible city is rooted in rich architectural and artistic culture, from Renaissance and Gothic palaces to the infamous St Mark’s Square. In shops, you will find bounties of Venetian items, whether it be traditional porcelain masks or hand-crafted Venetian glass from the island of Murano, located across from the mainland and just a boat ride away. Visiting Venice’s neighbouring islands together, such as Burano, Murano and Torcello, offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle and can be incredibly romantic.
