Lake Como

Italy · Europe

8.5/10Overall

Lakeside glamour with an Alpine mountain backdrop. Grand villas, manicured gardens, George Clooney's neighbourhood, and ferry-hopping between waterfront villages. The most romantic lake in Europe.

Venice

Italy · Europe

8/10Overall

A city that should not exist — built on 118 islands connected by 400 bridges over a lagoon. Grand canals, Murano glass, Rialto markets, and a water taxi at dusk that feels like the most romantic thing that has ever happened to anyone.
