Romantic things to do in Venice usually include gondola rides along the canals and waterways, as well as exploring St Mark's Square arm-in-arm. Stop at a cute cafe, listen to the charming musicians who will serenade you, and enjoy a ludicrously expensive glass of wine. With its gondola rides, opera and lavish baroque buildings, Venice exudes romance from every piazza, bridge and canal.

    There’s nothing more romantic than punting slowly past beautiful baroque and Renaissance buildings. Pick up a gondola at any of the main bridges – the Rialto or Accademia. Just look out for the driver’s boater hat and striped shirt.
