The Old World will always hold a big attraction, and especially when it comes to honeymoons. The European continent is a very diverse place that can delight with a broad panel of cultures, mother tongues and gorgeous backdrops. Below are several places that combine the romantic aspect with exciting surroundings.
Paris, France
This European icon remains the favorite honeymoon destination on the globe, and rightfully so: Lovely streets, art, culture, entertainment galore and of course, fine cooking. This haven of culture is so diverse. Newlyweds delight in guided tours on a “bateau-mouche” along the Seine, perfect at sunset, to photograph the old-world cathedrals and markets Paris is renowned for.
Montmartre, a northern area of the old town, is a very diverse area where you and your partner will love to get lost in and taste the extensive menus its renowned bistros and restaurants have available. Night life is plentiful in this area, as we are reminded by the 1999 French film “Amelie”. Culture is inescapable, and don’t forget that the Louvre and Orsay show a wealth of artistic works in the most romantic of settings.
Venice, Italy
Venice is most certainly the world’s most romantic honeymoon destination: The canals and the architecture especially, which have long been exposed to wide coverage in movie circles are reason enough to want to go there for a romantic voyage. There are, of course, many additional ways to really see the city and the ocean around it, perfect for newly married couples.
Fine dining is a big draw for visitors, especially in the presence of architectural marvels in places like the Piazza di San Marco. You might visit Venice for its art, architectural offerings, or simply because culture is everywhere around this splendid city. The best part is that one can visit everywhere on foot, by enjoying a gondola tour, or meandering about the numerous museums. Include a a few souvenirs and you’re sure to have the perfect honeymoon locale.
The Santorini Volcano, Greece
This island chain has all of the the beauty and magical pull that is often associated with Greece. The Santorini volcano, which at one time was thought to conceal the remains of Atlantis, is located amidst picture-perfect Mediterranean views and old Greek settlements. Attractions abound in Santorini and can turn it into a memorable honeymoon.
Publicly accessible beaches are close enough to walk or are stops for public transport; don’t forget to stick around at least once to witness the awe-inspiring sunset on the beach or from a restaurant’s terrace. Archeological ruins are also something to see, as well as the volcano’s crater, which truly is a marvel to behold. It is the ultimate Greek experience, and maybe the most romantic area on the Mediterranean coast.
Prague, Czech Republic
Found in the heart of the Czech Republic, Prague is thought by many to be Eastern Europe’s most desirable destination, both for its cultural history and its exciting lifestyle. The Old Town is no doubt the city’s most popular area; it has survived hundreds of years of growth and expansion in its history and abounds with attractions like the Old Town Square and the Old Synagogue.
Prague offers a wide palette of cultural excursions. Perfect examples are the National Museum and the Museum of Decorative Arts. What also makes Prague special is a rare display of old gothic and modern architecture, a very distinct setting that is very popular with travelers in general and newlyweds in particular.
