Why go? Love is ridiculous and so is a fabulous city built on water... A romantic break here might seem a cliché, but this enchanting port sweeps everyone away with its misty views, fancily-decorated churches, haughty palazzi and trips across the lagoon to visit its charming islands. A wealth of art treasures, seriously luxurious hotels, sublime restaurants and a blissful lack of traffic means quality time à deux is assured. Book early and live the fairy-tale to the full.
Best for An indulgent treat for someone special. Honeymooners. Art-lovers.
Best avoided Crowds of tourists. Venice is lovely in winter, but wrap up and take a brolly.
TC Tip A good guide book will enrich your visit. Just published, Venice Smartguide (Insight Guides £6.99) is useful for a short break, or Venice Green Guide (Michelin £14.99) covers the sights in detail.
