Places in Italy for Honeymoon

First of all, our list of places in Italy for honeymoon includes 4 key destinations. At the same time, we will let you know extra tips about each destination.

1. Tuscany

If you like movies, you may have heard of the classic movie “Under the Tuscan Sun”, right?

The movie faithfully describes the charm and the bucolic nature of Tuscany, one of the most recommended places in Italy for honeymoons. It is because the whole region has destinations well-known for their natural charms (such as the incredible sunflower fields, especially during the summer, or the beautiful fields and vineyards of Chianti), tranquility and delicious wines.

Are you in doubt about which destinations to choose in the region? Do not worry. We have three interesting tips for you! 

Florence

Florence is known as the capital of the Renaissance. For inspiring a lot of romanticism, it is one of the most searched places in Italy for honeymoons.

Once in Florence, allow yourself to stroll aimlessly in the narrow stone streets and observe the architectural charms around. Take the chance to visit the Galleria Degli Uffizi (the Uffizi Gallery) and its great artworks by Renaissance artists as well as the Galleria Dell’Accademia (the Accademia Gallery), where you find the original famous statue of David by the artist Michelangelo. Also, visit Piazza San Giovanni, the Basilicas di San Lorenzo and Santa Croce.

Do you want a precious tip? To make your honeymoon even more unforgettable, be sure to watch the sunset from Piazzale Michelangelo, located in the highest part of Florence. The view is incredible and we guarantee that the experience is worth it.

Lucca

How about going to Lucca and making your honeymoon in Tuscany even more special? Besides its famous medieval wall (the best preserved in Tuscany), the city has also other attributes. That is why it is one of our suggested places in Italy for honeymoon.

First of all, do not miss the chance to visit Piazza dell’Anfiteatro. It is a picturesque oval square that was once an ancient Roman amphitheater where you can stroll and sit down to enjoy an ice cream, drink coffee with your love. It is also worth visiting the Guinigi Tower and the cathedral, as well as going on a lovely bike ride over the wall!

Montepulciano

Another Tuscan city that deserves to be on the list of places in Italy for a honeymoon is Montepulciano. Located at the top of a hill, Montepulciano could easily be the setting for a romantic movie. Its old buildings and narrow alleys offer everything you need to connect with your love on a peaceful stroll.

Likewise, it must be on your itinerary the church of San Biagio, a Renaissance treasure, and Via di Gacciano, full of souvenir shops, restaurants and wine bars.

2.Verona

Do you want a more romantic destination on your honeymoon than the setting of the most beautiful love story of all times? Verona was home of Romeo and Juliet, protagonists of the tragic novel written by William Shakespeare. Therefore, the city is naturally inspiring and romantic.

Once in Verona, do not miss the Piazza Bra where the Arena of Verona is located, the iconic Casa di Giulietta, the Castel San Pietro, the Torre dei Lamberti (Lamberti Towers), which offers one of the most beautiful views in the city.
