Whether you’re looking for luxury or for something a little more distinctive for your honeymoon, Europe offers it all.
Romance
A honeymoon location should be all about romance, and Italy offers just that. It goes without saying that Venice tops the list of romantic places in Italy. With its famous gondola rides on the waterways where you can watch the lights of the city dance on the water to its famous shopping destinations, you can easily relax with the one you love on your honeymoon here. Alternatively, those who visit Tuscany will say that it is perfect for newlyweds to enjoy. It is the backdrop for some of the most famous arts pieces in the world and its natural beauty makes it the perfect place to escape the calamities of wedding preparations.
Tuscans seem to run on their own rhythm, and the whole spot is simple and relaxed. With cobblestone roads and beautiful architecture coupled with fantastic vineyards there’s so much to do to enjoy your honeymoon in Tuscany. The best place to fall in love with Italian culture is in Rome. Just like your love, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and the famous city is home to some of the best historical sites in the world, such as the Pantheon, the Roman Coliseum, the Trevi Fountain and much more. Rome is easily one of the most romantic cities in the world and is the perfect place to spend a romantic holiday.
Luxury
If you’re looking for luxury, then Paris might be the perfect honeymoon spot in Europe for you. With luxury hotels that allow you to be picked up in a Rolls-Royce, splurge on the top suites, indulge in gourmet cuisine and shop in style at the Champs-Elysees. If you’re looking for a little more beach with your luxury, then the Almafi Coast in Italy or the impressive crystal clear waters and relaxed atmosphere of Dubrovnik or Hvar in Croatia are all perfect for a luxurious European honeymoon. Greece is also an ideal area for a romantic honeymoon fuelled by luxury. Santorini or the particularly dreamy Cyclades are all perfect locations. With a number of chic and highly romantic boutique hotels, you may even find your own private beach perfect for seclusion-seeking honeymooners.
Charm
If you’re looking for the picturesque charm of cobblestone streets or distinctive hillside caves, then Europe has plenty to offer for your perfect honeymoon. If you’re looking for jagged mountains, waterfalls, wooded valleys and stone built villages then the Lake District in England has exactly that. There is plenty to do from hiking or taking a cruise on the deep blue lakes that no other area in Britain can challenge. The Lake District is also rich in history as well as being the inspirational setting for many famous literary geniuses such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, John Ruskin and Beatrix Potter. Moravia in Czech Republic is another charming European destination, and although Prague tends to take a lot of the credit for the country’s beauty, there is something magnetising about Moravia. With emerald landscapes and vineyards that seem to stretch on forever, to the mountains in the distance, Moravia is one of the most picturesque parts of Europe, perfect for a European honeymoon.
History
If you’re looking for history outside of the traditional stops of London, Rome and Paris, Europe offers much more than you could ever expect. Tallinn, the capital of Estonia is one of them most beautiful parts of Europe. It’s walled, cobblestoned Old Town remains along with its 15th-century defensive tower. It is one of the oldest capitals of Northern Europe and is dubbed as the Silicon Valley of Europe. Having been occupied by Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany there is so much history to discover if you’re looking for a culturally-rich honeymoon. Budapest in Hungary is another location similar to Tallinn. Budapest has a rich history that makes it hauntingly romantic, and with the addition of the cruises on the Danube River and the fairytale like castles and architecture that makes up the city, sharing a hearty pot of goulash could make Budapest the perfect honeymoon destination in Europe.
