Best
For Romance
Traffic never seemed so romantic as at sunset in Venice, when arias echo under
the Ponte dei Sospiri (Bridge of Sighs) from passing gondolas. Venice is purpose-
built for romance, with slow boats and opera instead of honking cars and curses.
You don't have to be Casanova - Venice makes every romantic gesture grand.
