Romance is woven into every street and landscape in Italy. Venice's canals sparkle at dusk, the Tuscan hills are lined with vineyards, and Rome comes alive with history around every corner. A honeymoon in Italy invites long meals, lingering strolls, and impromptu detours.

They'll stitch together the right combination of cities and countryside, book the perfect Amalfi luxury hotel where every sunset feels private, and build a trip that lets you arrive with nothing to do but enjoy being newly married.

Romantic things to do on a honeymoon in Italy

Romantic things to do on a honeymoon in Italy include gondolas in Venice, wine in Tuscany, and drives along the Amalfi Coast. The country rewards couples who linger and explore slowly.

Gondola in Venice

Float through Venice’s canals as gondoliers serenade you under stone bridges. A storybook moment for honeymooners.

Amalfi Coast drive

Navigate dramatic cliffside roads with views of lemon groves and seaside villages. Stop in Positano for a long lunch overlooking the sea.

Sip Chianti and Brunello among rolling hills and cypress trees, finishing with a candlelit dinner at a vineyard estate.

Walk past illuminated fountains and piazzas as the Eternal City glows with romance after dark.
