Sometimes, the only thing in the world you need is a romantic, relaxing vacation. And while you can unquestionably embark upon a romantic getaway that is close to where you live, sometimes it is necessary to travel a little further, to one of the true romantic capitals of the world.

Paris is one of those, naturally, but today we are not talking about Paris. We are talking about Venice, with its romantic evocations of Shakespearean mores and gondola rides at sunset.

St. Mark’s Square, St. Mark’s Church, the Doge’s Palace — the many historical sites in this watery city only heighten its romantic, ancient environment. And trust, a journey along the Bridge of Sighs will bring out the closet romantic in just about any person.

While many of people have heard of Tasmania, a lot of potential travelers have no idea what they can find there. Right off the coast of famed St. Helen’s, there is a tiny whaling town in a little traveled region of Tasmania. It features gorgeous, crystal water, pristine white beaches, and charming cottages available for rent.

One reason to go is the Bay of Fires Walk, which takes place over four days. It is considered a walking vacation, complete with guide, and it will take you over Tasmania’s stunning, one of a kind coastline. You can explore many mysterious coves and plenty of secluded beaches, plus kayaking and tons of water sports are always up for grabs.

Of course, visiting the Bay of Fires even on your own is an option, if you simply want to lounge and explore at your leisure.
