Lovely honeymoon destination.
ReplyDeleteMaldives honeymoon packages.
I think one of the more romantic cities to visit is Italy. I personally went there on my honeymoon
ReplyDeleteand my wife and I loved the food and the people there! I would strongly suggest Rome and
Florence. Although it can get very touristy, especially in the summer, they are very beautiful places
with so much history and culture. To break free from the tourist crowd, I would suggest you to try
some home-dining options. We went to dine with one of the local hosts on BonAppetour, and were
treated to a fancy meal at their homes on the rooftop! It is very simple to book a dinner with the
hosts on their website too! Other than that, I would also suggest you to try taking one of those
Vespa tours, especially in the Florence country-side. Riding on the vespa with your partner across
the green landscape is actually very thrilling and romantic! Hope this helped!
