Venice

Venice in Italy ranks 3rd on the list of the most romantic holidays in the world. There's a saying that you either love or hate Venice when you visit this romantic northern Italy city. But the guess is if you go when you're feeling butterflies, The City of Water will have them swarming. Even for the well-versed traveler, Venice presents an entirely new experience, since it is the capital of the Veneto region, comprised of 100 tiny islands. Here, there are very few roads, but many canals, making a gondola ride with your main squeeze a must.

As you stroll hand-in-hand across romantic bridges, soaking up the undeniably hospitable Italian culture, you'll witness nods to the Renaissance era, as well as Gothic landmarks. Nibble your way through St. Mark's Square, where local vendors display their handmade goods. Hold tight to your food, though, as hundreds of pigeons swarm this area in search of tasty treats. For an Instagram-worthy photo op, scale to the top of the Campanile Bell Tower, offering quite the view. If you're traveling for a milestone, take a boat to the glass-blowing region on Murano Island and take home a keepsake. The city of Venice has become the most famous Italian tourist destination with its ancient and distant beauty punctuated by zigzag old streets, tube houses with many windows, and unique architecture combined with ancient stories. The romantic love story of lovers. All make up the city of Venice as a World Heritage site.
