Honeymooning in Venice

For anyone considering going on honeymoon to Italy, there is one location that trumps all others when it comes to romance.

That location isn't Rome, as you may assume, and it isn't Florence, although those cities have more than enough to keep you occupied if you do want to head in that direction.

The location that will provide you with more than your fair share of romance is in fact Venice, a city that will take your breath away when you arrive.

With so much to see and do in this most romantic of cities, the question can be: where to start? However, part of the charm of Venice is the fact that you can do not much at all yet be constantly charmed by the delights you find around every corner.

Simply glide along the canals in a private gondola or seek some shade in St. Mark's Square. Take a wander along the back streets or escape the city for a day or two, with a trip to Verona, home of Romeo and Juliet, always a favourite day trip from Venice.

You can also head over to the Valpolicella wine region, which is home to the wonderful Amarone wine, for a taste of romance in its purest form!

There are many travel companies that offer itineraries for those who don't wish to do it alone when on honeymoon, with five day trips always a popular option from the UK.

These travel companies usually offer a range of hotel accommodation that can fit all budgets and suit all tastes, so make sure you do some careful research before you commit to anything. After all, this is probably one of the most important trips you'll ever make!
