1. Italy

Positano, Italy

Positano, Italy

Italy is no secret as a top-spot for romance with the true spirit of amore and the indulgent passion of la dolce vita. Enjoy a gondola ride along Venetian canals or stroll through the antique alleys of Rome. But take yourself away from the familiar and you could find a romantic revelation in traditional hilltop towns, secluded beaches, or elegant ruins. Instead of being defined by one thing, Italy embodies passion defined by its endless variety.
