account Tips for a romantic weekend in Italy: the 6 best destinations
Our beautiful Italy offers many romantic places suitable for every type of traveler. Between the sea, mountains, lakes, and art cities, it’s practically impossible not to find the ideal destination for yourself and your partner. Discover our suggestions on where to spend the perfect romantic weekend in Italy, the most intriguing itineraries, and the best restaurants for a romantic dinner.
Where to go for a romantic weekend by the sea?
Couples who love sea landscapes won't be disappointed by Liguria and Campania. Genoa, for example, is not only rich in attractions like the Aquarium, the alleys of the historic center, and the romantic promenade of Nervi (to name just a few), but it's also the perfect starting point to visit the Cinque Terre, romantic villages par excellence, Portovenere, and other seaside towns where you can also enjoy a good bottle of local wine.
Staying in Savona is also an excellent solution for a romantic weekend, as it allows you to visit beaches where the water is always clear, as well as interesting villages. Finally, Naples must be included among romantic seaside destinations. The city not only offers its artistic and architectural treasures but is also a stone's throw from the wonders of the Amalfi Coast and Cilento. Moreover, it's the perfect destination for a New Year's Eve steeped in romance, thanks to the fireworks that light up the seafront.
What are the best cultural destinations?
Lovers who prefer itineraries that combine romance and culture can turn to Tuscany and, in particular, its capital. Florence, with its history-filled cobblestone streets, the romantic walk on Ponte Vecchio at sunset, and the city terrace of Piazzale Michelangelo, is a true blessing for loving hearts. Verona, finally, is the city of love, with Juliet's house and its famous balcony, Romeo's house with its crenellated wall, and Juliet's tomb. Furthermore, with its beautiful palaces and bridges over the Adige, it provides many places for hand-in-hand strolls.
Where to go to immerse yourselves in nature?
Romantic nature lovers also have many places to visit. In particular, Lake Maggiore and the Trentino mountains offer unforgettable landscapes and immersion in greenery. Walking along the lakeside, taking boat trips to towns on both shores, visiting the islands with their beautiful villas, gardens, and attractions are all perfect activities for a couple.
Trento and its surroundings, on the other hand, guarantee fulfilling excursions in green valleys rich in unique flora, encounters with wildlife (in one of the many nature parks), starry nights, and, in case of a weekend during the Christmas period, markets where you can buy many souvenirs. Furthermore, Trentino is rich in thermal resorts where well-being is a priority, for a relaxing weekend for two.
