This grassy, secluded island is decked in Byzantine mosaics and marshy muck lands. To put to perspective how secluded Torcello can get, know that there are just 75 inhabitants on the island! Amble past the Devil&#8217;s Bridge and Cattedrale di Torcello (Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta) and settle for a meal in one of the few quaint restaurants on the island. Far from the hustle of Venice, everything on this island is leaden-footed, so be prepared for a dawdling, lazy day with your loved one.<\/p>\n<p> Insider Tip : Check out Locanda Cipriani for an idyllic Italian lunch on the terrace under the shady pergolas. <\/p>\n<p>#11 Romantic Things To Do In Venice<\/p>\n<h3>Indulge In Some Old School Museum &amp; Church Trailing<\/h3>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/blog-content\/image\/06dca092c10b8035115648d7dd6e6ad2-raimond-klavins-Fs8Om-hugik-unsplash.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;w=1300&amp;h=675&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" width=\"800\" height=\"auto\" alt=\"romantic things to do in venice\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"2534567469\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/p>\n<p>Venice has a plethora of churches and museums, each one better than the other and it is only fair that you visit a few to leave the city a little more in love with it. If you and your partner are culture vultures and want to consume copious amounts of Venice&#8217;s history, grab the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/city-cards\/st-marks-city-pass-e-8826\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">St. Mark&#8217;s City Pass<\/a> and go museum and church trailing. This pass allows admission into the Doge\u2019s Palace, 3 museums and 3 churches of your choice, the Teatro La Fenice, Querini Stampalia Foundation and Venice Casino! Those looking for an assortment of activities during their stay, this is a prudent choice. After all, what&#8217;s more romantic than learning and growing together?<\/p>\n<p> Insider Tip : Pick and choose the one&#8217;s that you&#8217;d like to visit before hand and map out the travel from one to the other in order to save time and energy.

It serpentines from the central neighbourhoods of Venice and ends near the St Mark\u2019s square. In its course, it passes under 4 bridges crossing buzzing markets, well-manicured gardens and regal canal-front restaurants, lined by grand museums, churches and iconic structures. Hop onto a vaporetto ( or a gondola if your wallet allows you ) and glide down the Grand Canal, watching life in Venice unfold in its true element. This glide down the Grand Canal can be especially romantic at night.<\/p>\n<p> Insider tip : Taking the public vaporettos to cruise the Grand Canal maybe not be the most romantic option, but a private boat ride or gondola ride for the entire stretch can work out quite expensive. Steer clear of the community hours in the morning (7 am &#8211; 9 am) and evening( 6 pm &#8211; 7 pm) for an assured seat on the vaporetto .<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/travel-deals-offers-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.pexels.com\/photos\/5262650\/pexels-photo-5262650.jpeg?fm=pjpg&amp;auto=compress&amp;w=125&amp;h=125&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" data-sizes=\"auto\" alt=\"Rome in 5 days\" sizes=\"125px\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pexels.com\/photos\/5262650\/pexels-photo-5262650.jpeg?fm=pjpg&amp;auto=compress&amp;w=125&amp;h=125&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\">Europe Travel Deals<\/p>\n<h2>Deals, Offers &amp; Promo Codes in Europe<\/h2>\n<p>If you are looking for discount codes, deals, and promos in top European destinations like Paris, London, Rome, Venice &amp; more, look no further.
