Your Romantic Honeymoon in Venice Thinking of traveling to Italy for your honeymoon? Then don’t miss the magic and mysterious city of Venice. The sounds of string quartets in the Piazza San Marco, the opulent lighted spires of Basilica di San Marco, and the moon reflecting off the ancient waterways will stay with you long after you’ve returned home. With so many amazing sights to see in Venice, your biggest challenge will be deciding what to do once you arrive. Here are our top five suggestions for a truly memorable stay:
1: Yes, do ride the gondola... to see the intricate canals of Venice, a romantic must. Make it special, bring flowers and snuggle up, watch the world go by in a way you’ve never seen it before.
2: But don’t forget to explore by foot…and wander through the maze of intricate and artistic bridges and alleyways that crisscross the city. They are full of fascinating shops, restaurants, and relics that will astound you.
 3: Create your own memory…by discovering the many beautiful and surprisingly affordable handmade mask shops that are unique to this city. Choose two that are a perfect reflection of each of you and have them shipped back home to remember your trip.
4: Expand your horizons…on the lagoon islands of Murano and Burano, just a 40-minute boat ride from Venice. Murano has been the cultural center of Venetian glass blowing for over 1300 years. It is where Venice’s art thrives and is unsurpassed. Burano, famous for it’s lace industry, is a remarkably picturesque islet you won’t want to miss.
5: Soak up some rays…in the summer months and grab a 30-minute ferry to the island of Lido where you’ll find classically European beaches on the sunny Adriatic. Get your concierge to book you a hut at one of the “public private beaches” away from the very public beach on the southern  most side of the island. Expect lots and lots of people, balmy water, white sand and an abundance of bikinis both on and off their owners.
