European Honeymoon - Try These Popular Spots
The Old World retains its draw, and particularly when it comes to
honeymoons. Europe is an enormously diverse place that includes a large
array of traditions, mother tongues and unique features. Here are a few
locations where romanticism meets fun and joie de vivre.
Paris,
France
The French Capital serves as the most sought after honeymoon
choice on the globe, and deservedly so: Lovely streets, statues,
tradition, lots of lively diversions and let's not forget the
outstanding food available all around. The French Capital offers so
much. Honeymooners will love to ride a "bateau-mouche" along the Seine,
perfect at sunset, to photograph the majestic cathedrals and markets
Paris is famous for.
Montmartre, in the north of Paris, is a
very cultural place where a married couple can explore on foot and taste
the excellent cuisine its hundreds of bistros and restaurants have to
offer. Night life is also very vibrant in this area, not only in the
1999 film hit "Amelie". Culture is inescapable, and don't forget that
the Louvre and Orsay display a host of artistic works in the most
romantic of settings.
Venice, Italy
Venice is by far the
world's most obvious honeymoon location: The canals and the buildings
specifically, which have recently had detailed coverage in film are
often enough to make one yearn for a romantic voyage. There are,
naturally, hundreds of other ways to really see this Italian jewel and
the whole region, and not just for a honeymoon.
The exquisite
cuisine 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, architectural background, or just
because culture is everywhere around this beautiful city. It's so simple
to get around by walking, by taking a gondola tour, or visiting the
countless museums. Add a a few souvenirs and you've got the perfect
honeymoon locale.
The Santorini Volcano, Greece
This
archipelago has all of the the beauty and historical pull that is
generally associated with Greece. The Santorini volcano, which was once
thought to harbor the ruins of Atlantis, is a haven of picture-perfect
Mediterranean views and many humble Greek villages. Opportunities for
relaxation and cultural immersions alike are readily available in
Santorini and can turn it into a memorable honeymoon.
Publicly
accessible beaches are within a reasonable distance for a walk or can be
reached by bus; be sure to stay a bit at least once so you don't miss
the magnificent sunset on the water or from a restaurant's deck.
Archeological tours are also enlightening, not to forget the volcano's
crater, which is still active and accessible to tourists. It is the
quintessential Greek experience, and maybe the most romantic area in the
Mediterranean.
Prague, Czech Republic
Centrally located in
the Czech Republic, Prague is thought by many to be Eastern Europe's
most desirable destination, both for its cultural context and its
colorful lifestyle. The Old Town is without questions the city's most
lively area; it has lived through many eras of growth and expansion in
its history and abounds with memorable architecture like the Old Town
Square and the Old Synagogue.
Prague encompasses a wide array
of cultural distractions. Outstanding examples are the National Museum
and the Museum of Decorative Arts. What also distinguishes Prague is an
unusual combination of old gothic and contemporary buildings, a very
unusual setting that is so popular with visitors as a group and
honeymooners in particular.
