💕 Planning Your Dream Honeymoon in Italy: Best Times & Must Visit Destinations for 2026
Italy has long been a top honeymoon destination—and with good reason. From romantic gondola rides in Venice to sundrenched cliffside dinners along the Amalfi Coast, this country is a treasure trove of unforgettable experiences.
If you’re dreaming of a tailormade honeymoon in Italy for 2026, here are the best times to book and some of my favorite romantic destinations for you and your love.
🗓️ When to Book & Visit Italy for Your Honeymoon
The shoulder seasons of April–May and September–October are often the best times to visit Italy. During these months:
The weather is comfortably mild, perfect for sightseeing and romantic strolls
Popular destinations are less crowded, so you can savor every moment
Prices for flights and accommodations tend to be lower than the busy summer months
If you’re after warm, sunny beach and boating weather, then late June through early September is your window—but keep in mind this is peak season, so booking well in advance is key.
For all honeymooners, I highly recommend securing your travel 8 to 10 months ahead to lock in the best deals, especially for flights and exclusive accommodations.
❤️ Must See Honeymoon Destinations in Italy for 2026
1. Venice
The enchanting “City of Canals” needs little introduction. Venice’s labyrinth of waterways, iconic bridges, and stunning architecture set a truly romantic scene. Don’t miss a gondola ride through its peaceful canals or a sunset visit to St. Mark’s Square for breathtaking city views.
2. Amalfi Coast: Positano, Sorrento, Amalfi & Praiano
This dazzling coastline is a mosaic of cliffside villages with brightly colored homes, panoramic sea views, and secluded beaches.
Positano is the gem of the coast, with pastel houses tumbling toward the sea—perfect for boutique shopping and waterfront dining.
Sorrento, known as the gateway to the Amalfi Coast, offers fragrant lemon groves and lively piazzas with stunning views over the Bay of Naples. From here, don’t miss a day trip to the stunning island of Capri—famous for its glamorous coastline, the Blue Grotto sea cave, and chic shopping.
Amalfi boasts rich history and an impressive cathedral, ideal for couples blending culture with beach time.
Praiano is a quieter, tranquil spot for hiking (especially the breathtaking Path of the Gods) and relaxing away from the crowds.
3. Florence
The birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence mesmerizes with its art, architecture, and cobbled streets. Indulge in world-class museums, charming cafes, and sensational Tuscan cuisine.
