Venice
Day 1 - 2
Venice is a small, unique city in Italy’s Veneto region, a historic center made up of 118 small islands in a lagoon of the Adriatic Sea, connected by a complex network of canals and footbridges. The stately palaces and ancient churches remain as fascinating reminders of what was once a major trading hub between Europe and the Orient. From the famous Gothic Doge’s Palace and the breathtaking St. Mark’s Basilica to the awe-inspiring brilliance of Titian’s Assumption altarpiece lighting up an entire cathedral, Venice has remained virtually unchanged for the past 600 years. Other must-see attractions include the Bridge of Sighs, the spectacular Peggy Guggenheim Collection (art gallery), the captivating Gallerie dell’Accademia (museum), and of course, gondola rides along the canals.

Tips for your Venice & Verona romantic getaway
Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October) are the most romantic times to visit. The weather is mild, crowds are smaller than in peak summer, and the cities are perfect for strolling and sightseeing.
Expect mid- to high-range pricing depending on your choice of hotels and activities. Luxury stays in Venice and private gondola rides can raise the budget, while Verona offers more affordable options.
In Venice, iconic experiences include St. Mark’s Square, the Grand Canal, and gondola rides. Verona is famous for Juliet’s House, its Roman arena, and charming piazzas.
Couples enjoy gondola rides in Venice, wine tastings in the Veneto region, and candlelit dinners in historic piazzas. Day trips to nearby lakes or vineyards add extra charm.
Book gondola rides and popular attractions in advance. Stay near central squares for easy walking, and consider visiting in shoulder season for a quieter, more intimate experience.
