Helpful Packzup guides
Planning an Italy honeymoon
Italy is made for honeymoons — the question is which region. The favorites: the Amalfi Coast (cliffs, lemon groves, Positano), Tuscany (vineyards, hilltop towns), Venice (canals and gondolas), and Lake Como (alpine glamour).
When to go
May-June and September are ideal — warm, romantic and pre/post the August crush. Avoid peak August heat and crowds on the coast.
A classic 7-night split
3 nights Amalfi (Positano or Ravello) + 3 nights Tuscany or Venice, linked by fast train. Add Lake Como if flying into Milan.
Romantic experiences
A private boat along the Amalfi Coast, a Tuscan vineyard dinner, a sunset gondola in Venice, and a lakeside villa aperitivo on Como.
Costs: a mid-to-upscale Italian honeymoon runs $250-450/day per couple; the Amalfi Coast and Como sit at the higher end. See the Travel Cost Index.
