The Old Continent enjoys enormous popularity, and especially when it comes to honeymoons. Europe is an extremely lively place that encompasses a large panel of cultures, mother tongues and unique features. Below are several locations that combine the romantic aspect with exciting surroundings.
Paris, France
Paris is considered the most popular honeymoon destination for couples, and rightfully so: Lively streets, statues, tradition, lots of lively diversions and of course, wonderful restaurants. The City of Light has so much to offer. Couples can enjoy a “bateau-mouche” along the Seine, especially at night, to witness the beautiful buildings Paris is renowned for.
Montmartre, in the north of the city, is a very lively area where newlyweds see the city at its most bustling and try the extensive menus its many bistros and restaurants can provide. Night life is also very vibrant in this part of Paris, re-vitalized in part by the 1999 film hit “Amelie”. Culture is everywhere, and museums like the Louvre and Orsay offer a host of artistic works in their awe-inspiring galleries.
Venice, Italy
Venice is most certainly the earth’s most sought after honeymoon choice: The canals and the architecture especially, which have received detailed coverage in film are often enough to want to go there for a romantic trip. There are, however, lots of different ways to get the most out of this Italian jewel and the ocean around it, and not just for newly married couples.
The excellent food 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 romantic feel, historical offerings, or just because culture saturates this fantastic city. The best part is that one can visit everywhere by walking, by taking a canal cruis, or visiting the many museums. Add a tour of the markets and you and your mate will enjoy the perfect honeymoon locale.
The Santorini Volcano, Greece
This archipelago embodies the beauty and historical magnetism that is typically associated with Greece. The Santorini volcano, which at one time was thought to hold the ruins of Atlantis, can be found surrounded by wonderful Mediterranean views and many humble Greek villages. Attractions abound in Santorini and allow you to enjoy the full range of pleasures on your honeymoon.
A variety of beaches are close enough to walk or a bus ride away; be sure to stay a bit at least once to witness the magnificent sunset on the ocean or from the lofty heights of an eatery’s deck. Archeological ruins are also a big attraction, as well as the volcano’s crater, which truly is a marvel to behold. It is the quintessential Greek experience, and perhaps the most romantic place in the Mediterranean.
Prague, Czech Republic
Located in the center 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 lively section of the city; it has lived through hundreds of years of very rich history and is filled with memorable architecture like the Old Town Square and the Old Synagogue.
Lots of museums (such as the National Museum and the Museum of Decorative Arts) and theaters comprise the incredibly sought-after cultural aura the city is known for. What also distinguishes Prague is an unusual blend of old gothic and modern architecture, a very unusual setting that is very popular with tourists in general and newlyweds in particular.
