Florence is located in the heart of the Tuscany region. The city center offers perfectly walkable tours of the best Renaissance art and architecture in Europe, and it is well connected via train to scenic Tuscany to round out your honeymoon and stop by a vineyard for wine tasting, plan a cooking lesson or enjoy a challenging bike ride.

Heading south and east of Florence, lies Italy's capital city, Rome. Rome is a great honeymoon choice for first time and return visitors of this historic city. Italy itself is a top five honeymoon destination and Rome is Europe's third most-visited tourist destination. That's probably why Rome appears regularly in the New York Times travel section. If Florence offers an overabundance of Renaissance art, etc. Rome is inexhaustible in history, art, and culture. First timers will likely visit the Colosseum, throw a coin in Trevi Fountain, ponder the Pantheon, and spend a lot of time and money to enter the Vatican City, among other historic sites. But, after your done soaking in the history lessons, why not enjoy Rome for what it is today, Italy's largest and most populous city with tons of great neighborhoods to explore for shopping, dining, and hanging out. Settle in a cafe at dusk for a few drinks or a meal, then wander through the fountains of Piazza Navona and don't forget to grab a gelato to complete your romantic evening.  

For a less traveled honeymoon destination, consider a picture-perfect honeymoon that includes at least several days in Umbria. Frankly, not many foreigners are familiar with it, so when you tell people you are going here, you'll need to help them out a little. The region of Umbria is in the very center of Italy, just north of Lazio (Rome) and east of Tuscany, sharing some of Tuscany's traits. With rolling hills dotted with castles, fortresses, watchtowers and monasteries, Umbria oozes romance, history, and natural beauty. Umbria's valleys are laced with silvery rivers and host Italy's largest lake. Halfway up the slopes of Monte Fumaiolo, a little trickle streams south and becomes Rome's mighty Tiber River. Umbria includes the capital Perugia and towns of Assisi, Spoleto, Gubbio and Orvieto.
