Top European Honeymoon Travel Ideas
Our top European honeymoon ideas offer picturesque, romantic and adventurous destinations. Book your place on one of these Culture Trip adventures and discover the best experiences in Europe for newlyweds.
If you’re planning a honeymoon tour, Europe is home to some of the most romantic destinations on Earth, from sailing around Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast on board a luxury yacht, to floating over the fairytale rock formations of Cappadocia in Turkey via hot air balloon. Then there’s the option of soaking in hot springs in Iceland, hopefully watching the Northern Lights dance across the sky. Putting together a European honeymoon? We’ve done all the hard work for you. These are the most romantic European honeymoon ideas around, bookable through Culture Trip.
Northern Italy, for famous old cities and wine in the Tuscan hills
Nothing says romance more than the centuries-old cities and picture-postcard countryside of Northern Italy — and Culture Trip’s nine-day Rail Trip manages to find the perfect balance between the region’s buzzing urban centres and beautiful rural landscapes. Visit some of the world’s most famous landmarks, including the Colosseum and Ponte Vecchio, sample olive oil and wine in the rolling hills of Tuscany and stop in at serene Lake Como, known for its famous residents, including Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney.
Greek Cyclades, for a whirlwind island-hopping adventure
Is there a more romantic way to toast your honeymoon than by watching the sun go down over Santorini’s blue-domed, white-washed buildings? We think not, which is why we end our eight-day Greek odyssey doing precisely that. It’s the perfect spot to reflect on visiting the Acropolis in Athens and reminisce about the charming fishing villages of Milos and the pristine Mediterranean beaches of Naxos. The beauty of Greece as a honeymoon destination is that you don’t have to choose between beach relaxation and culturally enriching getaway – this trip does both in spades.
