With home exchange you don’t need to worry about the cost because with HomeForHome you will find someone interested in a free home swap.

Paris, France - As romantic as it can get, Paris is of course the capital of romance. Three suggestions for an unforgettable afternoon: a rest stop in a Parisian cafe terrace, a walk holding hands down Montmartre or the Avenue des Champs Elysees, kissing on any of the numerous Seine Rives bridges. Quoting Woody Allen: “As long as you haven’t been kissed during any of those rainy Parisian afternoons, you haven’t been kissed at all.“

A few other places worth a visit: the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, Luxembourg Castle and the adjacent gardens and the Louvre Museum. Check our “10 step guide to Paris“

Venice, Italy - Noise, smog and traffic will not interfere with the romance in Venice. Other unique things in Venice? The canals, the gondolas and the gondoliers themselves, Piazza San Marco, St. Mark’s Basilica, the “Ponte dei Sospiri” (the Bridge of Sighs), the art decorations in most buildings, Murano glass, and Venetian food… Mmm

In case you are wondering there are several registered swappers in both destinations, so HomeForHome is the place to start planning your classic romantic honeymoon.
