Looking for somewhere romantic and scenic to go on your honeymoon? Not sold on the typical locations like the Maldives? Then going on a European honeymoon might just be the answer for you and the perfect way to get more romance and scenery for your buck and at the same time try something different. Here we will look at some great options for European honeymoons and just why the continent is so well suited to newly betrothed love birds.
Benefits of a European Honeymoon
First of all, one great reason to go to Europe for your honeymoon is that it has so much to offer. This is true in terms of how many different countries there are within Europe for you to visit, but also in terms of how much there is to see and do there. While the Maldives might be the ideal sunny beach holiday for many of us, they don’t have quite the same appeal when it comes to exploring history and culture, and nor do they offer the shopping or the nightlife. Travel to Europe and you get all the sun if you want it, but plenty more besides. This way you can enjoy something a bit more fulfilling for what should be one of the happiest times of your life, and at the same time avoid being quite so clichéd as many people are.
At the same time going on a European honeymoon is often one of the more affordable options. Not only are countries like Spain much more affordable to begin with than somewhere further East, but they are also much cheaper to travel to in the first place. Then there is the fact that Europe is more Western, meaning that you’ll be more likely to understand the language, and less likely to get lost or robbed or end up in the bad part of town because you don’t know what you’re doing.
Types of European Honeymoon
Once you’ve decided on Europe, you have plenty of option still regarding precisely what you want this to mean. Here are some suggestions as to how you might want to celebrate your new marital status on the continent.
Sunny Honeymoon: If your ideal image of a honeymoon is relaxing on a beach somewhere and soaking up rays/taking beautiful photos of the sunset, then going on honeymoon to Spain (and specifically the Canary Islands), Bulgaria (Sunny Beach), Greece (Skiathos), Portugal etc. will be perfect. At the same time though in every case there is plenty of great food and drink and a lot of history and culture to explore too.
Cold Honeymoons: If you’re willing to try something a bit different for your honeymoon however, then you might like the idea of staying in a log cabin. This is a surprisingly romantic way to enjoy being on honeymoon, as it allows you and your partner to snuggle up together in the warmth – perhaps in front of the fire or even on your porch in a hot tub – while the snow falls around you. You have plenty of option again here whether you like the idea of the alps or Scotland. And if you opt for the latter you might also get to see the Northern Lights – there are few more beautiful and romantic sights in the world.
City Breaks: Then there are the many city breaks you can choose from when going on honeymoon in Europe. Rome is highly romantic and warm with plenty of history and great dining and London has all those things too minus the warmth. Of course though for many people Paris will be the preferred choice – what better way to celebrate your marriage than in the most romantic city in the world?

Sincerely, a European honeymoon would be great. I would love a sunny relaxing one because after the amount of stress you have collected preparing an amazing wedding you do deserve a quite place where you can enjoy your moments of relaxation along with your partner.
I would choose a European honeymoon, because this continent is offering a great diversity of fantastic places, perfect for this kind of events.
I love everything about Europe and I will never choose something else than its beautiful places full of history, culture and also welcoming people.
I would personally choose a cold European honeymoon for a simple reason: I love winter. I love everything about this season: its weather, its snow, its whiteness and I do think that this is one of the most romantic seasons. I love the idea of cuddling with my beloved one in a warm log cabin, thinking that outside is cold and I am protected in his arms. I guess every girl wants to feel this way and I think this is one of the most romantic and relaxing things. I would love a European honeymoon starting with the Alps or ending in Romania in the Carpathians or in Scotland, but only as long as I can enjoy my beautiful moments this way.
I would love any kind of European honeymoon as long as my love is with me. It doesn’t matter if it is a sunny one or a cold one or a European honeymoon spent in Paris or Rome, I am going to enjoy every moment spent with my partner. In my opinion this mini vacation is one of the most beautiful things that happens after marriage so we have to enjoy it entirely. I do not have any preferences regarding my European honeymoon because I’m sure anywhere I spend it I will definitely love it.
My parents were lucky and took a European Honeymoon. They actually won the trip to London and they had an amazing time. It was the only time that they had been there so it was very special that they got to spend it together. I feel it would be great to take a honeymoon there as well. My husband and I may have to do this for our 5 year anniversary. I could see it being very romantic. Europe just seems like a very romantic place.
I did go to Europe for my honeymoon. My husband and I love to ski so we decided that 6 months after we got married, we went to Switzerland. And it was a trip neither of us will ever forget. Very nice and romantic and skiing was excellent as well. I would love to relive it, it was a huge blast.
Tiffany that sounds like a wonderful honeymoon. I feel that European Honeymoons would be the way to go. I am only 21 and have not been married yet but I dream of some day going to Europe for my own honeymoon. It would be so romantic.
