Which is the most romantic place to visit in Italy, Rome, Verona, Venice or Milan
 

Im planning a trip next year with my boyfriend and am unsure which is the best place to visit.<BR><BR>thanks for any help

Venice!! Also consider the Amalfi Coast if you're looking for romance

Venice is by far the most romantic & best choice. You can't beat the Grand Canal & San Marco Square. Rome is good for history & Milan for shopping. Verona would be my 2nd choice.

<BR>Extremely Romantic: Venice<BR>Romantic: Rome<BR>Not Romantic: Verona, Milan<BR>

I'd say Venice is romantic first followed by Rome. But not Verona which is capitalizing on Romeo & Juliet fame-they were only fictional characters but they're treated as though they're real. Milan is too businesslike to be romantic.

By including Milan it looks like you haven't done the slightest homework. Even Rome is on the congested/polluted/tiring side. I would stick to coastline areas such as Amalfitana, riviera, lakes, or Venice, but some like those disneyfied hill towns of Tuscany.

Venice; and the Amalfi Coast in particular Positano ; Capri and Ravello<BR>la dolce Italy

Agree with Venice first and then Rome. Amalfi Coast also.

"disneyfied hill towns of Tuscany"<BR><BR>Wow. I don't think I've ever seen a bigger insult to Toscania. <BR><BR>Beautiful, quaint and pictureque. Yes. Disneyfied. No Way.<BR><BR><BR>

Disneyfied hill towns? Excuse me? I loved both Tuscany and Venice, but Venice is far more "disneyfied" than Siena, San G, Orvieto, Civita, etc.

Amy,<BR><BR>Amalfi coast is most romantic for me. Venice is gorgeous but I had such preconceived notions about it that it was almost a letdown. If romance is on your mind, it almost doesn't matter where you go. I found Rome at night, to be one of the most romantic places on earth...dinner in a small trattoria, stop by the Trevi Fountain, gelato on the way to the Spanish Steps, the mood precedes you and with a little research, a bit of flexibility and sense of adventure you are on your way. Often the particular hotel you choose can set the mood, not matter where you are. This happened in Florence, when we checked into the Hotel Lungarno, with a balcony overlooking the Arno...everybody warned us about how congested Florence would be but I found it unbelievable romantic sipping Proseco at sunset...Have fun.

Amy- 1st choice- VENICE<BR> 2nd Choice-Amalfi Coast<BR> 3rd Choice- Cruise on the MED

Venice<BR>Then, Taormina in Sicily

Ha, disneyfied Tuscan towns, how hilarious!!! Yep & I suppose to you that little old castle in Germany was a rip-off of the one at Disneyland, huh?

Neither. For sure Milano is not romantic, although I think it is much more interesting than most people think. Venice is a kind of LARGE tourist trap, Rome is pretty romantic but also a big and crowded city. If I were going to have a romantic trip with a boyfriend (I have the boyfriend but we do not have the money and the time to plan a romantic trip) I would chose the kills in the southwestern part of Tuscany (not Chianti, which is a bit too crowded, Colline Metallifere or Amiata are far better), the almost Chianti-like (but somewhat foggier and colder) Langhe area of Piedmont or the mountanious are of inner Liguria. I for a romantic stay I would try to keep off the most well-known areas (such as those you have named in your post) because of the crowds you are due to find there.

Venice is a beautiful town, but I don’t know about romantic. 8 million people visit Venice a year, only very small percent stay the night. Venice only has a population of less that 50,000 so it is a large tourist trap, which is slowly turning in to an island museum frozen in time. So if your idea of romance is spending a day with 23,000 other tourists then good luck. In defence of Verona, I found it more human with a more relaxed atmosphere and surpassingly quiet with some great restaurants and bars.

Actually none of the above. If you want romantic then I would do Lago Orta or Ravello. If you like cities, then Venice is the choice. We will be there for a week soon.

Venice, Lake Como, and the Amalfi Coast, and yes, Capri. To me, all Italy is romantic. Can't stay away from the place. I suggest taking in some of the Italian specials on the Travel Channel and watching some movies filmed in Italy. Good luck in your travel plans and keep reading all the great posts.
