Gondola Ride:
I would personally suggest you to enjoy a gondola ride. It costs around 40 euros for 30 minutes, the experience of a gondola ride is amazing. You can enjoy the amazing views of city through Gondola. Way better than old, boring candle light dinner.
Live Seafood:
Another experience you can have is Live Seafood, Most of the restaurants don’t even own a refrigerator. Fish are juicy and delicious.
Helicopter tour:
To have a lavish & luxurious experience you can take a helicopter ride. You can explore the whole Venice within a couple of hours. Tickets are also reasonable & affordable, around 60- 100 Euro per person. You can pick a helicopter from Lido Island. A helicopter tour is a must if you are only staying for a couple of days or less.

This is another perfect way to explore the city. You can find a traditional sail boats throughout the Venice. You can even plan your Lunch on the boat. If you are looking for something more romantic and faster, try taking a cruise ride. “Many Titanic Pictures have already been clicked on these Boats!”
Go Naked (Barefooted)!
This is probably the best way to connect with Venice, take off your shoes and walk barefooted. Explore the hidden alley ways take water taxies when you are tired. An early morning Jog on cold, damp floor will definitely charge you up with energy. Especially near the Basilica di San Marco Church.
Natural beauty is at its best in Venice, you can enjoy astonishment of pink- streaked skies right after the sunset. Skies are always clear blue during the day while night sky is always full of stars. If you really want to impress your partner, take them out and enjoy the sunset with a romantic dinner. Sure, you will have to use candles, but it will be much more interesting.
You can also explore Restaurants and Pubs.
Don’t be a Bed lover!
Are you a Bad lover or Bed Lover? Clearly, if you are planning to visit Venice for your Romantic Holiday, you are not the former! Leave your laziness behind and explore every aspect of Venice while you are there. Take as many photos as you want, do something crazy, switch off your mobile and spend time with your loved one.

Sleep as little as possible, capture the moment and create everlasting memories with your loved ones. Please don’t waste your time being lazy or lying in the bed. Take 5/6 cups of espresso if you want, but get out of the bed.
