Venice was one of several Italian destinations on my honeymoon and it was one of my favorite cities. It was a perfect place for newlyweds to fall even more in love. Nothing quite compares to a moonlit gondola ride down the grand canal or getting lost strolling hand-in-hand searching for the best gelato! Many of the restaurants in Venice give off a romantic vibe. We spent a lot of time in the outdoor seating areas with a bottle of Chianti taking in the views of the city. The walkways can get a bit tight and crowded, there is a TON of walking, and water taxis are terribly expensive (cost us €50 to get about 1/2 mile). If you can get past all of that you will find that Venice is a one of a kind city with unique history, culture, and cuisine and I'd highly recommend it for a nice romantic getaway.
