Guides to proposing in Venice — the best places and times, how to keep the surprise and how a hidden photographer captures it.
In short
In brief
The best places to propose in Venice are quiet at the moment you need them: a gondola on a side canal, Punta della Dogana or San Giorgio Maggiore at sunset, or a small bridge at sunrise. A hidden photographer can capture the moment without giving it away.
