What could be a better backdrop for your proposal than the site of the most iconic romance of all time?

Leave a love lock on the gate and pose for a photo on Juliet's balcony. After wandering through Verona's cobblestone streets and admiring the rest of this beautiful city, head to one of its charming boutique hotels for relaxation in a historic setting. The Palazzo Victoria will even draw couples a "bubble" bath of Champagne! Pictured: Palazzo Victoria
