Most of our guests travel to Italy from the US by air, unless they are already traveling in a neighboring European country. There are direct flights from the US to Rome and Milan and layover flights to several other destinations in Italy, operated by United Airlines, ITA Airways, and others.

Although most of our guests start their Italy honeymoon in Rome, Venice is also a perfect place to begin your romantic trip to Italy. In both of these iconic cities, you will have the chance to be greeted to Italy by locals as we have expert staff based in Rome and Venice. When it comes to saving time and planning the best route, rest assured that our travel advisors will help you pick the best flights for your itinerary. 

Deciding which destinations to add to your Italy honeymoon itinerary very much depends on your preferences. If you want to visit the most famous places, you shouldn’t miss Rome, Venice, Tuscany, Capri Island, and Cinque Terre. However, if you want to take the road less traveled in Italy, we can craft an itinerary that includes some well-kept secrets, such as Puglia, Matera, or the Aeolian Islands. 

Our Italy honeymoon vacation packages start from around $350 per person per day. The most significant sum is usually spent on your accommodation, but private full-day tours can increase the cost, too. All our sample itineraries have a Price Guide function to give you an idea of the cost for different levels of accommodation and the month of travel.

We can mix and match different levels of accommodation during your trip. In some more expensive destinations where you’ll be out enjoying day trips anyway, that’s a good place to make some savings. For some day trips, a small group option rather than a private one can be much cheaper, and sometimes an even better experience, as you’ll get the chance to meet like-minded travelers.

As a long peninsula stretching deep into the Mediterranean from the Alps, Italy’s weather can vary greatly, and there are many destinations that are wonderful to experience outside the normal tourist season. The most popular months for travel to Italy from the US are May, June, and early September. The key sites can be crowded in the peak summer months of July and August, and the heat in the cities can be overwhelming, but this is the perfect time to travel to lesser-known regions and destinations. April, October, and November are the new shoulder seasons and can offer an appealing combination of pleasant temperatures, fewer visitors, and lower hotel rates. In the winter months, the south, especially Sicily, has very mild weather with lots of sunny days.  If you’re more interested in history, food, and culture than beaches, winter can be the ideal time to visit Italy for a romantic getaway framed by the country’s majestic snow-capped peaks. Our travel advisors are keen to help you explore the best of Italy at any time of year. Our guide to the best time to visit Italy is packed with more information.

If you’re looking to extend your Italy honeymoon by visiting other countries too, we would recommend adding Greece, Croatia, or Switzerland to your itinerary, depending on your preferences. Many of our honeymooners can’t resist adding a few nights in Paris to their Italy honeymoon itinerary, too.

If you’re dreaming of an Italian road trip, we can arrange rental cars for all or part of the trip, but keep in mind that dropping off a rental in another country incurs high one-way fees, and within Italy, there are still some one-way fees to be considered. Your JayWay trip planner can arrange for separate rentals where needed. This way, you can avoid unnecessary expenses and have the freedom to get around by car when you really need to.

Whether you’re traveling across Northern Italy or Southern Italy – or both – don’t miss the culinary tours we have on offer, to get a taste of the world’s most celebrated cuisine in its birthplace. If you’re visiting island or coastal destinations in Italy, a cruise or boat tour is a great addition to your vacation and one of the most romantic experiences to remember your Italy honeymoon by. In a country as abundant in history, art, beautiful buildings, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites as Italy is, it’s worth joining guided tours of the most famous attractions, such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Vatican City, and the Sistine Chapel in Rome, Piazza San Marco in Venice, Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius in Naples, and the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. 

Absolutely. Our vacation packages are customized to your wishes. You don’t have to fill every day, and we encourage leaving enough time aside simply to appreciate the destinations you’re visiting, thus achieving the perfect balance between sightseeing and savoring Italy’s rich culture and unparalleled natural beauty. Finding a secret spot to enjoy a glass of prosecco in Venice, trying pizza in hole-in-the-walls only locals know of in Rome, or dreamily walking along the main street of a small town like San Gimignano are probably some of the moments that can render your Italy honeymoon all the more memorable.
