Venice beats Paris as most romantic attraction

Venice has pipped Paris to the post of top romantic spot in the 2016 Worldwide Attraction Awards

Venice has been named the top romantic spot in the 2016 Worldwide Attraction Awards, hosted by AttractionTix.co.uk. 

Dedicated to recognising excellence within the attractions industry, the awards welcomed 23,000 public votes across 19 different categories which included the best rollercoaster in the world and the world’s best observation deck. 

Taking the top spot away from last year's most romantic attraction, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Venice's gondola ride triumphed in 2016.
