Clooney, 53, and Alamuddin, 36, appeared arm-in-arm and more in love than ever while waving to onlookers. They are set to host a rehearsal dinner on Friday.
"I met my lovely bride-to-be here in Italy, whom I will be marrying, in a couple of weeks, in Venice, of all places," Clooney said two weeks ago at a charity gala. "I would just like to say to my bride-to-be Amal that I love you very much and I can't wait to be your husband."
Alamuddin, who accepted Clooney's proposal in April, appeared delighted upon hearing his touching speech.
"She seemed so touched and overwhelmed and at that moment they looked right at each other and it was as if there was no one else in the room," a source previously told E! News.
The couple first stepped out together publicly during an outing in London in October last year, three months after Clooney's split from former pro-wrestler Stacy Keibler. They have since enjoyed a number of globe-trotting jaunts including a trip to Tanzania and New York City.
Alamuddin is currently representing Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and is an adviser to Kofi Annan, the special envoy to Syria. Clooney, who is also passionate about human rights, recently boasted about his accomplished wife-to-be.
"I'm marrying up," Clooney told Variety magazine.
Clooney's mother Nina, 74, previously described Alamuddin as having a nice blend of "brains and beauty."
"We weren't at all surprised when they told us they were engaged, and we couldn't be happier for them," Nina said. "On an intellectual level, they are equals. That is very important to him. Amal's world couldn't be more different from the Hollywood lifestyle," she explained.
