Italy is the land of love, a romantic destination par excellence. So with Valentines Day fast approaching, it’s time to explore some of the peninsula’s most idyllic spots. Heavenly places where romance is never in short supply. We start with Verona, where Giulietta’s picturesque balcony is still selling the Shakespearian tale of eternal love. Millions of lovers from all over the world head to this special spot to leave their love letters at Giulietta’s house. Nearby Piazza delle Erbe is another favourite romantic nook in a very charming town.

Next stop is Venice, with mesmerising Piazza San Marco and atmospheric canals that give the whole city a sense of wonder and fantasy. A trip on the lagoon is one of the most memorable experiences a couple can have. The mist on the water and the silhouette of Venice that appears as you approach the city will leave you speechless. It’s a place to fall in love with life.
