1. The panoramic terraces (Milan)
Milan seen from above is a very romantic experience. The view at sunset from the rooftops of the city's skyscrapers, while enjoying a glass of wine or a cocktail, is a daydream. The most picturesque spots are in Piazza Duomo, Gae Aulenti area or Citylife.

2. Romantic walks while admiring the landscape (Lovere, BG)
For relaxing and enjoying beautiful scenery hand in hand, Lake Iseo (or Sebino) is one of the most fascinating stretches of water in Italy for its scenery. Lovere is located here. One of the most beautiful villages in Italy and - in the words of English writer Lady Wortley Montagu - "the most romantic place I have ever seen." Between the medieval alleys, colorful palaces and its beautiful square, Lovere is the ideal destination for lovers.

3. Sleeping in an igloo (Livigno, SO)
If you are an incurable romantic, we recommend giving a unique experience to the person who shares every moment of the day with you. A romantic night in a snow suite at 1800 m. It is located in Livigno. You sleep wrapped in a warm thermal sleeping bag and upon awakening pamper the couple in the SPA. Have we intrigued you?

4. Immersed in thermal waters (San Pellegrino Terme, BG)
Along with hot springs, in the Brembana Valley, San Pellegrino Terme is the ideal place to relax. Moments of tranquility and pleasure immersed in hot thermal waters, invigorating waterfalls, saunas with panoramic views. Moments of well-being capable of regenerating body and mind. Emotions to experience together with those you love.
5. Romantic trip to the city of Gonzaga (Mantua).
It has been called the most romantic city in the world, Mantua offers scenery from a thousand and one nights. The city of the Gonzagas, a place of ancient charm, rich in history and culture. Stroll embraced through the city streets and enjoy a candlelight dinner with the most famous traditional dishes: pumpkin tortelli.
6. Discover Limone sul Garda (BS)
Romantic getaway for a sunset that thrills at the ancient castle lemon house in Limone sul Garda. A perfect location to discover as a couple, an ancient village with picturesque corners that has managed to maintain the typical atmosphere of a fishing village. Strolling during the blossoming of the lemon groves you will smell an intense citrus scent.
7. Sailing on Lake Maggiore (VA)
Discover the natural beauty of Lake Maggiore, explore artistic heritages thanks to the boat service. A dream experience that allows you to visit the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso where nature, art, culture and food and wine come together, creating the perfect partnership for two lovers who want to indulge in moments of relaxation.
8. Falling in love in Vigevano (PV)
Pearl of the Renaissance, Vigevano is an example of architectural and urban planning perfection. Within its walls, Leonardo da Vinci and Bramante left a mark of their greatness. On Valentine's Day, the Ducal City organizes Vigevano in Love to offer all couples a chance to rediscover romance, amid tales of love stories from the Sforzesco Castle and a serenade at Palazzo Roncalli.
