Having a Romantic Honeymoon in Venice

The city of Venice, Italy is by far one of the most romantic places on the planet in my opinion. If you are not there with someone you will definitely feel left out as the majority of the people who visit have a significant other of some sort. Hopefully you will be lucky enough to be there on your honeymoon with your new bride or groom. I can not think of a better way to start a life then exploring the city of Venice together. Not many cities can compare to the grandeur and elegance of Venice.

So what can you do when on a honeymoon in Venice? Well hopefully you can peal yourself away from each other long enough to enjoy the many sights that Venice has to offer. One of the most well frequented sights to see is St. Mark's square. Not only is the proverbial hub of the city the surroundings can elicit great feelings of desire for your mate. If you want to stay close to this grand location then be sure to check out the Concordia hotel which overlooks this square.

It is not too far off to meander down to the Rialto Bridge to do some nice window shopping. I would not buy from these stores as they are far too over priced and you will just be wasting your money. From there it would be nice to take a nice gondola ride and really see the city from one of the best vantage points you can.

You can save some real money by going on a cruise on one of the vaporetto's and see the city without spending a bundle. This is one of the better ways of seeing a lot of sights if you do not have a whole lot of time. The vaporetto's are the bus system in Venice and are very well run and maintained to keep the tourists happy.

If you are getting bored just wandering the city it might be a good idea take a boat and visit some of the surrounding islands. The islands of Burano, Murano and Torcello can offer some new perspective on life and culture and create new memories together.

One of the best pieces of advice I can give is to take in the city slowly. You are on your honeymoon which is the best time to enjoy each other's company. What you do not want to do is spend every waking moment on your feet trying to take in the sights as you are trying to just start your life together.

Apart from Italy’s romantic destinations I’d also like to recommend visiting Venice for wedding/honeymoons. The place is unlike any other on the planet because most of the city has streets filled with water, giving a romantic ambiance to it.
The top places to visit are Piazza San Marco, St. Mark's Basilica, Doge’s Palace, Museo Correr, Grand Canal /Canalazzo, Island Excursions, Guggenheim Museum and The Teatro La Fenice.
