Honeymoon Activities to Enjoy in Italy
Honeymoon in Rome- what to see and do:
Walking Tours- a great introduction to the City of Rome
Via Veneto, center of “La dolce vita”, Piazza Barberini with the Triton Fountain by Gian Lorenzo Bernini; Piazza Venezia and the gigantic Vittoriano Monument. Then Via dei Fori Imperiali towards the Coliseum, the Arch of Constantine, the Palatine Hill, the Temple of Hercules, the Theater of Marcellus, the Capitol, the Tiber Island, the Roman Synagogue, Castel Sant’Angelo and, finally, St Peters and the Basilica and the Vatican Museums with the Sistine Chapel. Ending at the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and Piazza Navona. Is there really anything more marvelous all in one place on this earth.
Shopping in Italy
Rome is certainly one of the focal cities of Italian shopping tourism. Couples love taking advantage of its innumerable shops and boutiques in between discoveries of magnificent monuments and cultural experiences.
One of the Eternal City’s most lusted-after areas is the so-called “Trident,” formed by Via dei Condotti, Via Borgognona, Via Frattina and by the adjacent Spanish Steps: the Trident is perhaps the most high-end destination for Roman shopping, with a concentration of renowned jewelers and important Italian and international flagships and ateliers.
The Spanish Steps, Romantic Rome Landmark
Steps away from The River Palace, climbing a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and Piazza Trinità dei Monti, dominated by the Trinità dei Monti church at the top.
Roman Holiday (1953), starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, made the Spanish Steps famous to American audiences. The Steps were also featured prominently in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), starring Matt Damon in the title role.
Honeymoon in Florence- What to see and do:
Florence offers a Variety of Shopping Boutiques
In Florence you will find all the boutiques of the most prestigious high fashion international brands, located mainly in the Via Tornabuoni, Via della Vigna, Via Calzaioli and Via Roma, but also historic shops with more sought after clothing and handicrafts, located in the streets of Corso, Via Guicciardini, Via Borgognisanti and in the San Lorenzo area.
Day Trips to Ancient Walled Tuscan Villages, Wine Tasting Honeymoon Tours
There are several possibilities for day trips to visit other Tuscan cities or locations. Among these, it is certainly worthwhile to dedicate a day to visit Siena and San Gimignano, Pisa and Lucca.
For nature lovers and good wine, the whole area south of Florence is renowned for its beautiful hills where grapes are grown to give life to the famous Chianti Classico.
Art and Culture in Florence include the Statue of David, Uffizi Gallery
From a cultural point of view, the main attraction in Florence is undoubtedly the Uffizi Gallery and the Academy Museum, where the authentic statue of Michelangelo’s David is kept. A copy of this last one can also be admired from Piazzale Michelangelo, a spectacular place that absolutely deserves a visit to have a panoramic view of the city
The Boboli Gardens in Pitti Palace are another very interesting destination for those who want to learn more about the history of the De Medici family.
