Few would debate that Venice, Italy is among the world's most romantic places. Its Grand Canal winds through a city brimming with magnificent art and architecture... gondoliers lead lovers into hidden corners where they can steal a kiss... and outdoor cafés beckon explorers to pause and reflect on the beauty surrounding them.

See romantic Venice in pictures and imagine what it would be like for you to honeymoon or visit there on a romantic holiday.

Venice Hotels for Romantics
Fabulous hotels on Giudecca Island across the lagoon from Venice welcome lovers and offer free shuttle service to the mainland:

• Hilton Molino Stucky, a modern hotel with extensive views and a rooftop swimming pool.
• Bauer Palladio Hotel & Spa, an intimate hotel inside a former 16th-century convent.
