Venice Honeymoon

Floating upon a peaceful lagoon, Venice has enchanted lovers for centuries and is one of the world's top honeymoon destinations for a romantic holiday.

Its vivid pastel shades of sienna, ancient gold and ruby peach reflect off its shimmering waterways to create a restless magic.

Things to do and see
Filled with architectural wonders, palaces and art, fine shopping and excellent dining, it’s hard not to be overwhelmed by the beauty and uniqueness of this 1500-year-old city.

Venice is built across 100 small islands in a coastal lagoon; there are no roads (or cars), so the only way you can get around is by foot or water. Cuddle up in a gondola or cruise around the city’s fascinating maze of canals in a polished, walnut-timbered water taxi.

Exploring on foot can be fun, providing the perfect excuse to lean against an ancient wall and enjoy a smoldering embrace: pathways often end without warning, some lanes lead to brick walls and steps descend into water. What better time to hold hands, explore new sights together and discover out-of-the-way canal-side restaurants for lunch or a romantic candlelit dinner?

Accommodation
Venice offers a range of accommodation to suit all budgets, but for that special romantic occasion try the luxurious Hotel Cipriani on Giudecca Island, just a short boat ride from St Marks Square and offering magnificent views overlooking the lagoon. Or create a love-nest: apartments in Venice offers a range of serviced apartments (and hotels) in all the top areas of Venice.

Best time to visit Venice?
The best time to visit Venice is from April to June, or September and October, when the weather is warm while avoiding the peak summer crowds of July and August. Summer (June to September) sees average highs of 25°C. July and August have an average high of 27°C but can climb to above 30°C.
