For centuries, Europe has symbolized the epitome of romance for many couples. With rich culture, delicious cuisine, and gorgeous vistas, it is no wonder that so many newlyweds choose to spend their honeymoons on this diverse continent. But if you are planning a honeymoon in Europe, you must first decide where exactly you want to go! There is no shortage of romantic options. Wine lovers might prefer Tuscany, Italy, where they can take in the expansive vineyards and olive groves before touring art museums and viewing architecture that has stood for hundreds of years. Or, for a bit more action, take your honeymoon in Barcelona, Spain, where historical monuments mingle among bustling markets and charming outdoor cafes -- not to mention sun-drenched beaches. Or try Paris, France, a city renowned worldwide for its penchant for love. Climb the stairs of the Eiffel Tower, visit world-famous art museums, and stroll quiet streets with your new spouse. For a less-frequented honeymoon spot, why not try a trip to Scotland? If the windswept hills and moors of purple heather don't inspire romance, try curling up with your sweetie in front of a warm fire after spending the day hiking around the lochs -- Scotland offers plenty of unspoiled natural vistas for you to enjoy. Our European honeymoons page has plenty of information to help you decide which European country would be perfect for your honeymoon. Once you have done some preliminary research here, talk to a local travel agent about booking the perfect trip for you. Your travel agent will be able to help you find the best deals as well as help you out should anything go wrong on your trip. Happy honeymooning!

Looking to stay in a castle older than your great, great… great (ok, we’ve lost count) grandparents? 

The incredible European honeymoon destination of Hotel Grad Otočec is a resort in a castle dating back to the 1200s. In fact, it’s so old that the history of the location and original tenants is not exactly clear.

But recent renovations make this feel anything but ancient. Rooms look surprisingly modern and elegant, with gorgeous beds and furnishings.

The highly regarded restaurant and an indoor swimming pool make your stay on the spectacular inlet property even more pleasant. The charming hotel is among the most romantic European honeymoon destinations you’ll find.

Faroe Islands

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: The Faroe Islands is an amazing honeymoon destination because it truly feels like an escape. It’s such a remote part of the world and it’s easy to just totally focus on soaking up time with your new spouse. Plus, the cooler weather is a great excuse to snuggle up together.

Recommended activities : I highly recommend getting outside. The Faroe Islands is a haven for nature-lovers. The landscapes here are unparalleled. There are mountains, rugged coastlines, inlets, and stellar waterfalls. Also, there are beautiful seaside villages that are beautiful to stroll through.

In San Gimignano, you can tour the historic city, go for a horseback ride through olive trees and vineyards and stay at a cozy bed and breakfast. There are several small towns in Tuscany worth exploring and are easy to fit into a day trip wandering the city together.

Recommended hotel: Villino Fiorentino for a bed and breakfast in Florence. Il Vicario for a bed and breakfast in the countryside outside San Gimignano.

Black Forest, Germany 

If your Europe honeymoon ideas involve fairytale scenery and quaint villages, you’ll want to consider Germany’s Black Forest.  Sabrina from Moon & Honey Travel will tell you exactly where to visit. 

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon : Many believe that the Brothers Grimm fairy tales were inspired by the dark and sinister conifer forests of the Black Forest. So, if you’re looking for fairy-tale honeymoon destinations, this region in Baden-Württemberg is perfect.

Recommended activities: Explore the storybook towns of Schiltach, Calw, Breisach, and Gengenbach. Next, head to the grand spa town of Baden-Baden for a wonderful finale to your Europe honeymoon. Here, you can bathe in the mineral-rich waters of Friedrichsbad and Caracalla Spa. After enjoying the town’s thermal spas, head to the family-run restaurant Zum Alde Gott for dinner.

Daryl & Mindi of 2foodtrippers think the country Portugal has the perfect blend of food and scenery to make for an ideal honeymoon.

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: Portugal is an ideal honeymoon destination for couples looking for a romantic travel experience filled with great scenery and tasty food. We say this with confidence after spending our magical honeymoon in the Iberian country back in 2007. The country captured us with its many charms – especially secluded beaches and port houses.

Recommended activities: Honeymooners in Portugal can spend their days exploring extensive coastline in the Algarve or wandering through charming cities like Lisbon and Porto. However, nights are equally exciting when filled with Portuguese food , local wine, and Fado music.

Recommended hotel: Hotels in Portugal run the gamut to humble accommodations to five-star hotels. For a special treat, we recommend staying at one of the country’s 34 historic Pousadas . Each luxurious Pousada has a unique history and provides a unique hotel experience.

Svalbard, Norway 

The best honeymoon destination just might be way, way up north. Halef & Michael from The Round the World Guys tell us all about Svalbard.

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: If you are in the market for an “adventure” honeymoon, consider a visit to the Arctic Circle. While it is not a conventional honeymoon in Europe destination, it surprisingly offers so much that can be very enjoyable for newlywed couples.

Recommended activities: Svalbard houses the northernmost human inhabitants in the world, and its exotic landscape is surreal. The capital, Longyearbyen, is a great starting point to arrange different activities. Anything from hiking adventures, day trips to the abandoned Soviet mining town of Pyramiden, and dog-sledding in the winter time.

Longyearbyen itself is a great place to hang out. There are several great places to stay in Svalbard and great restaurants to choose from. Every single one of them are very cozy – cozy communal places with big pillows, blankets and fireplaces, and big windows. After all, if its cold outside, many visitors choose to stay indoors at their cozy hotels.

Recommended hotel: One of the best places to stay for couples is the Radisson Blu Polar Hotel , which is famous for its hot tub with a magnificent view. If you are honeymooning in Svalbard, this is the perfect spot for a great Instagram wedding portrait

Paris 

The City of Lights and City of Paris consistently ranks among the world’s top honeymoon destinations. Kate of Our Escape Clause has some great ideas on what to do in this magical city . 

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: It’s hard to imagine a city more perfect for a honeymoon destination than the literal city of love! From the beautiful Seine to the stunning architecture to the endless cafes, delicious food, and iconic viewpoints, there is no shortage of romantic ways to experience Paris.

Recommended Activities: While you’re on your Paris honeymoon , be sure to stroll hand-in-hand through the Louvre, to sneak a kiss among the walkways in the Luxembourg Gardens, to visit cozy cafes in Montmartre, to admire the view of the Paris skyline from the top of Notre Dame or the Arc de Triomphe, and to watch the sunset over the Eiffel Tower in the Trocadero Gardens.

Couples inclined toward the kitchen may want to stretch their culinary skills with a macaron or croissant baking class, nightlife lovers will want to take in a burlesque show, and museum lovers don’t need to stop at the Louvre–consider also visiting the Musee Rodin, Musee d’Orsay, and the Orangerie, just to name a few!

Recommend hotel : For a Paris honeymoon hotel that won’t break the bank (all the more money to spend on tasty food and unforgettable experiences!), consider Le Clos Medicis . Though the rooms are fairly small, as is typical of Paris, the lobby is breathtakingly beautiful and the location–just a 5-minute walk from the Luxembourg Gardens–is absolutely unbeatable.

PS: During your Paris honeymoon, sign up for a couples photoshoot for the ultimate souvenir.

Barcelona 

Vicki of Vicki Viaja talks all about what makes Barcelona so lovely, and it’s definitely inspiring me to book a trip.

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: Barcelona is full of beautiful architecture and narrow Gothic-style streets. How can you not fall in love all over again when siping amazing vino while enjoying a great view after walking hand in hand at the beach between the palm trees enjoying Barcelona’s all-year sunny blue sky?

Recommended activities: There are so many romantic things to do in Barcelona on a Europe honeymoon. Barcelona is full of spots that make for a great walk, such as the beach or several gorgeous parks. There even is a park which has a labyrinth in its center in which you can get lost together (and hopefully find your way out again).

Another popular activity is a walk to the bunkers del Carmel. From there you have an amazing Panoramic view over the whole city. If you get here really early in the morning, you can even see a wonderful sunrise which makes the whole experience even better. Another thing you should definitely enjoy as a couple is its delicious food and wine. Catalonia is famous for its high-quality tasty wine and you can’t leave without trying a glass or two.

Recommended Hotel: Ciutat de Barcelona

Alsace, France

Ooh la la! Who’s ready for a honeymoon in France? Lena of Happily Ever Adventures shares tips from her own experience in the Alsace region.

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: While Paris is often touted as the city of love, we think the Alsace region in France is the perfect Europe honeymoon spot! The region is full of gorgeous countryside, magical castles, storybook small towns, stunning architecture, and romantic vineyards. You’ll feel like your honeymoon is straight out of a picturesque fairytale. Don’t worry, you won’t have to choose between Paris and Alsace. You can easily combine both in one magical European honeymoon!

Recommended activities: Spend some time exploring the various charming villages that make up the Alsace region and go for long romantic walks. Our favorites are Strasbourg, Colmar, and Riquewihr. In Colmar, be sure to take a boat ride through the storybook canals, complete with a picnic of cheese and champagne. Go on a wine tour of the beautiful vineyards of the region. Alsace is predominately known for dry and crisp white wines.

Visit the medieval castles in the region. Our favorites are Chateau du Haut-Koenigsbourg, Saint Ulrich, Girsberg, and Mont Sainte-Odile Abbey (an ancient monastery, but just as beautiful and worth visiting!). If you’re honeymooning in the winter, check out the magical Christmas markets the region is famous for. The best ones are in Strasbourg!

Recommended hotel: Le Parc Hotel Obernai & Spa

Cinque Terre, Italy 

Victoria of Follow Me Away will inspire you with one of the top destinations for a honeymoon in Europe: Cinque Terre, Italy.

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: Cinque Terre, located along Italy’s Ligurian Coast, is what honeymoon dreams are made from! If you are looking for one of the most unique, relaxing, and beautiful Europe honeymoon destinations, this is it! Cinque Terre is made up of five colorful towns located along the Ligurian Coast of Italy. This means that you have so many pretty places to explore during your honeymoon.

Recommended activities: Imagine sleeping in and exploring the beaches and nearby hikes to vineyards and overlooks by day and then dining al fresco by night with your new spouse.

There is no bad time of year to honeymoon in Cinque Terre. During the summer, the weather will be warmer, but you will be competing with other visitors for space on the beach. During the winter, the air will be cooler so you will be more likely to lounge on the beach in jeans and a sweater, but prices are cheaper and the towns will be devoid of other tourists. Planning your honeymoon to Cinque Terre can be done at any time of year, depending on your preferences, budget, and interests!

Recommended hotel: Rooms Elisabetta Carro is my suggested hotel because you are staying right in the thick of things with a fantastic view and easy beach access!

If you are looking for Where To Stay In Cinque Terre , keep in mind that there are accommodation options for each and every budget. Simply choose which town or towns you want to stay in and then choose your budget and you will find some wonderful options.

Budapest 

Toti & Alessia of Italian Trip Abroad share their tips on what to do and where to stay in romantic Budapest.

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: Love, explore, relax and repeat. It seems the perfect way to enjoy a romantic gateway or European honeymoon. Budapest is the essence of those three words in a unique city. It is really affordable and makes sense to spend as much as a week here. The light of the city and the monuments give this amazing eastern Europe location a romantic point of view.

Recommended activities: Budapest is even more romantic compared to Rome or Paris. It has not an Iconic monument that you can associate straight with it, but it has a lot of great landscapes, an ancient and interesting history. The view of the Parliament at night and the Fisherman’s Bastion on the other side of the Danube River will pay for the cost of this holiday.  Enjoy the Spa in Budapest, it is one of the best activities in the city.  I will bet everything that as soon you hear this word “Spa”, you will plan a trip to Budapest. The exchange rates (Budapest doesn’t use the Euro, although most of the shops accept this currency), will make your visit to the spa—and the many amenities as massages, oils, and therapy—even cheaper.

Recommended hotel: The Intercontinental Hotel in the Pest part of the city is best for Honeymooners. This 5-star hotel has a direct view of the river and of the Buda Castle on the top of the hill.

Amalfi Coast, Italy 

If you’re running out of Europe honeymoon destinations, Italy will always provide. Why not consider the Amalfi Coast? Victoria from Bridges and Balloons tells us why this area is so wonderful for couples.

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: The Amalfi Coast is one of the most romantic honeymoon destinations in Italy. It’s where the mountains meet the sea and colourful villages cascade down the cliffs. The drive along the coast is worth the visit alone, but to make the most of it all, stay for a while in some of the little towns and take a trip to Capri island.

Recommended activities: Visit Positano, one of the most picturesque towns on the coast, and Ravello, an elegant mountaintop village with fabulous views across the sea. Also take a boat trip to Capri, stopping at caves and grottos along the way. And for food, you’re spoilt for choice, which a plethora of romantic Italian and seafood restaurants with gorgeous coastal views.

Recommended hotel: Casa Angelina

Bulgarian Riviera 

Perhaps you’d like an Eastern Europe honeymoon. Bulgaria has some fantastic options, and Stephanie of Sofia Adventures thinks the coast is the place!

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: The Black Sea is not black, it’s actually vibrant greens and blues with rolling waves and sandy beaches. There are great Bulgarian resort hotels  up and down the coast, so you can choose whether you’d rather be by the UNESCO city of Nessebar or the vibrant Varna. 

Recommended activities: Take a dip in the pink  Lake Atanasovsko and cover yourself with the lake’s healing mud before washing it off in the Black Sea a few hundred meters away. 

Recommended hotel: Evrika Beach Club

Andalusia, Spain 

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: Andalusia is a honeymooners paradise. Its endless green fields where oranges and olive trees flourish, the fine sand beaches of some of its main cities, national parks worth visiting like Doñana, the Arab baths of cities such as Granada and Seville, its historical-architectural heritage, its particular music, its tapas bars, and above all its welcoming people make Andalusia a great destination for lovebirds.

Recommended activities: There is nothing better than taking an Andalusia road trip through some of its main cities. We recommend you to start in Malaga and continue along the coast to Tarifa – very windy and known by lovers of kitesurfing and windsurfing – and Cadiz, not without first admiring a sunset in the dunes of Tarifa or by Trafalgar’s lighthouse. Then, drive inland and spend two or three days in Seville, before leaving for Granada and its magnificent Sierra Nevada, with a stop in the romantic Ronda.

Recommended hotel: Alhambra Palace Hotel , Granada

Hallstatt, Austria 

Scott from Take Back Roads shares this beautiful description and detailed recommendations for one of Austria’s most picturesque honeymoon destinations. 

Destination: Hallstatt, Austria

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: Nestled in the heart of the Austrian Alps an hour east of Salzburg, the picturesque mountain village of Hallstatt sits on a narrow sliver of hilly terrain. Shoehorned between the towering mountains that surround it and the pristine waters of Lake Hallstatt, the 2,500 year-old village is now a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site . The narrow streets are lined with traditional wood-and-stucco alpine homes and family-owned and operated shops, boutiques, and restaurants. Instead of generic chain hotel rooms, visitors are housed in cozy centuries-old bed & breakfasts scattered throughout the village.

As a protected site, non-resident vehicles are completely prohibited (there is a paid parking lot about 100 yards outside of town), so the only methods of transportation through the tiny village is on foot or bicycle – thus, it truly feels like a magical trip back in time. Many restaurants offer intimate tables for mealtimes, and several also have breathtaking lakeside terraces! And of course… the views. There are no words to describe the mind-blowing mountain views throughout the village and its surroundings. What a wonderful honeymoon destination.

Recommended activities : There are plenty of romantic experiences to enjoy in Hallstatt on your honeymoon, such as renting a small motorboat to cruise around the lake or riding in a larger wooden gondola-style motorboat across the lake to the village of Obertraun. There are also paddle boats that look like the stunning white geese that populate the lake surface in summer.

You can spend hours strolling through the ancient lanes of the village, or ride the funicular up to explore the historic salt mines (and enjoy the insanely gorgeous panoramic view) on the top of the mountain. There’s an adorable central market square, lined with vendors, restaurants and cafes with outdoor seating, boutiques and shops, and a small fountain and plentiful benches for relaxing and taking it all in. And, of course, the aforementioned family-operated taverns, restaurants, cafes and even a brewpub.

Recommended hotel: Without question, the Braugasthof Lobisser is your best option. This 600 year old B&B and brewpub features ancient creaking wooden floors and beautiful inlaid wood paneling, with traditional Austrian decorations and photos everywhere. With approximately a dozen total rooms (about a third have large balconies) spread out on three floors, a breakfast room, a dining room & kitchen on the ground floor, and possibly the best lakeside beergarden-style terrace located across the lane, this hotel has everything you could possibly ask for … and is the most competitively priced option we could find (price to value of the amenities). The staff are friendly and helpful, the traditional Austrian foods & fresh-brewed beer are delicious, the free breakfast is hearty and well-prepared, and the views from the hotel balconies are incomprehensible.

INSIDER TIP: if you book far enough in advance, make sure to request room number 8. As the only room in the hotel with two balconies (one facing the lake and one facing the village), the views are otherworldly – and it’s the same price as the other balcony rooms!

Rome, Italy

When it comes to Europe’s honeymoon destinations, Rome has to be included on such a list! Cazzy from Dream Big, Travel Far shares her recommendations for one of Europe’s most well known well-loved cities. 

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: When we think of romance, we often think of Rome . Known as the city of romance, it’s no surprise that it’s a perfect Europe honeymoon destination. It’s a place that suits all types of couples. If you love authentic Italian food, fine wine, beautiful architecture, historic sights and a glass of Limoncello, then Rome is for you.

Recommended activities: Find quaint restaurants to dine in the evening, then wander in search of the cities best gelato spots. Throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain together and wish for everlasting love and rent a rowboat on the Borghese Lake and create your own romantic moment.

Recommended hotel: For a hotel stay to remember, opt for Villa Spalletti Trivelli , just 10 minutes from the Trevi Fountain for a wonderful stay.

Llubljana, Slovenia 

Despite it’s hard to pronounce name, the city of Llubljana offers plenty for romantic visitors to do. Emily of Wander-Lush provides an ideal itinerary below:

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon : One of Europe’s most underrated capitals, petite Ljubljana oozes romance and nostalgia. Founded on a legendary dragon-slaying love saga, Slovenia ’s biggest city features a pink baroque church as its center point, art nouveau architecture and cobbled streets, and a quixotic mix of continental European and Mediterranean cultures and cuisines.

An endless string of cafes and wine bars set along Ljubljana’s riverside promenade beckon visitors with their tables set out in the sun. Less than 2 hours away by car, Bled and its iconic lake provides one of the most romantic backdrops for outdoor activities in the region.

Recommended activities : Ljubljana is best explored on foot by crisscrossing the stone bridges and wandering the alleyways. Starting at the main plaza, follow your nose through the Central Market (a lively farmers’ market on weekends), popping into historic chapels and breaking every now and then for a glass of Slovenian wine and a pizza.

In Bled, walk or cycle around the lake, and ride out to the island in a traditional Pletna (a wooden boat reminiscent of Venice’s gondolas). There are a number of spas set along the lake’s shore—of if nature is more your scene, find seclusion in the canyons, caves and swimming holes in the area. Both Bled and Ljubljana have castles that offer magnificent views.

Recommended hotel : Antiq Palace Hotel & Spa (Ljubljana); Vila Bled Luxury Boutique Hotel (Bled).

Without a doubt, a Greek honeymoon would be an incredibly romantic experience. Allison of Sofia Adventures shares why Crete is an excellent choice.

Saariselka, Finland 

Don’t forget about Scandinavia when planning a honeymoon in Europe. Sara from Our Kind of Crazy describes Lapland, Finland so beautifully, I’m ready to go right now! 

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: If you’ve ever imagined the perfect winter honeymoon getaway, Saariselka, Finland is the place to go. It is the definition of “winter wonderland”, and is one of the best places you can go on your honeymoon. Saariselka is in Lapland, Finland which means it is a prime spot to catch the Northern Lights. You can rent a glass igloo cabin, and cozy up while watching the Auroras from the comfort of your room. If the Northern Lights aren’t one of the most incredible things to witness, there are several other activities you can do while on your honeymoon in Saariselka.

Recommended activities: The theme of this Europe honeymoon is “Winter Wonderland” so everything has to do with the snow. Cross country skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, husky rides, and ice fishing are just a few activities they offer in Lapland. You can feed and hang out with reindeer, walk across frozen lakes, enjoy a drink at a bar made entirely of ice and snow, and of course chase the Northern Lights. It’s a winter honeymoon in Europe that can’t be beat!

Recommended hotel: The Northern Lights Village

Provence, France 

Sophie of Solo Sophie shares why magical Provence is the perfect honeymooning destination in Europe. 

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: With its endless lavender fields, pretty-as-a-postcard villages, and salty seascapes, there is perhaps nowhere in France quite as lovely as Provence. For those looking for a special experience, there’s the chance to stay in French châteaux, experience unforgettable sunsets, and get lost in the wineries of the region.

Recommended activities: Whether you’re a foodie lover, history buff, or wish to head to the beach, Provence has all this and more. Some of the best things to do in Provence include head out on a road trip to see the lavender fields and centuries-old villages dotted around the landscape. With its butter-stone houses and impressionist past, the charming ‘city of a hundred fountains,’ Aix-en-Provence, while the town of Cassis is one of the most beautiful settlements to be found anywhere in the Mediterranean.

Recommended hotel: Château de Cassis

Edinburgh, Scotland

Natasha of The World Pursuit talks about one of our favorite places:  Edinburgh, Scotland . It’s where we first met and remains one of our favorite cities in the entire world.

Why it’s perfect for a honeymoon: Scotland is a great place for a honeymoon in Europe and any trip there will likely start and end in Edinburgh. Although Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and a big city it doesn’t feel like it. There aren’t high rises obstructing views, but instead old 15th-century buildings that are beautifully preserved and ready for exploration. Seriously walking around Edinburgh is like walking in a European fairytale.

Recommended activities: One of my favorite things to do is climb Climb Calton Hill. Calton Hill has the best views of Edinburgh, it’s centrally located and only a five minute walk up. This makes for an intimate viewpoint that is easy to reach. If it’s a beautiful day, our suggestion is to watch the sunset on the city from up here. I also recommend heading up the Scott Monument as it’s a beautiful piece of architecture and also provides stunning views.

Recommended hotel: Old Town Chambers . Old Town Chambers is a collection of luxury apartments in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. The apartments are modern, spacious, comfortable, and definitely luxurious.

A European Honeymoon Itinerary, courtesy of The Luxury Wanderer

Seems like there are a lot of weddings coming up in the next year or so. . .probably a result of so many marriages being postponed over the last 18 months.  We’ve talked to several travel experts about the ideal honeymoon in a post-Covid world.  Our friend and colleague, Andrew Taylor, and his team at TheLuxuryWanderer.com have prepared a romantic itinerary for couples starting their lives together.  Here’s their guest post, detailing a tour of four unforgettable European honeymoon cities:

Once the arrangements have been made for the ceremony and reception, it’s time to think seriously about honeymoon plans!  With so many choices, advice from friends, travel magazines and websites, this part can be as challenging as it is fun.

A European honeymoon can be idyllic. With romantic cities in Europe, gorgeous beaches, and many charming destinations in between, it can be hard to narrow down the perfect places to honeymoon. Check out this itinerary designed to take you through some of the most romantic cities in Europe.

Start your trip in London, as it’s readily accessible to most major cities by air.  Here you should spend three nights sightseeing, taking in the local theatre and having loads of fun!  From the architectural marvels to the astounding museums, London has its own way of charming couples.

Stay at a boutique romantic hotel like The Chesterfield Mayfair or Flemings . Both set the scene and are perfectly situated to maximize your time spent sightseeing. Quick tip: nothing tops champagne at the top of The Shard or the Champagne Experience on the London Eye (be sure to book ahead)!

Relax and enjoy the unforgettable views from the London Eye.  Photo by Pablo Martinez on Unsplash .

Weather permitting, plan a picnic in Regent Park. Let’s set the scene: the sun is shining, you have a picnic of tasty, delectable treats (perhaps with a bottle of bubbly), a nice comfortable blanket and gorgeous views out over the water on one side and Buckingham Palace on the other.  St James’s Park is the prettiest of all the London parks and the perfect spot for a romantic picnic. If you really want to push the boat out for your picnic shopping, I should also mention that Fortnum & Mason is just around the corner.

Golden hour in Prague, Czech Republic.  Photo by William Zhang on Unsplash .

From London, fly to Prague for three nights. Prague is the perfect city to visit year-round with beautiful medieval cathedrals, town squares, and streets that will leave you enchanted. History, great food and romantic to a fault!  Prague could well be considered as a year-round honeymoon destination.

Stay at the Hotel Aria …it’s awesome and close to the castle. Be sure to take a horse-drawn carriage ride at night (with champagne of course). This is something my wife Cathy and I enjoyed, and we ended up getting engaged in Prague.

For simple meals and people watching, eat at the Clock Caffe in the old town square. For an uber-romantic dinner try Mlynec .  Spend your spare time walking this city and getting lost, as it’s the best way to explore Prague and savor its history.

La Sagrada Familia Cathedral, still under construction after nearly 100 years. Barcelona, Spain.

From Prague, fly to Barcelona—three nights here will leave you with loads of unforgettable memories. Barcelona is one of my favorite cities, and with that Spanish passion, is undoubtedly one of the most exotic honeymoon destinations in the world.  It combines everything that is most charming about Mediterranean cities – a relaxed pace, months of endless sunshine, unbeatable food – with the cultural and design clout of almost any city in the cold north. Whether you choose to lie on its great beaches or visit the many tourist sights such as Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia, this city is made for romantic memories. If you really want to get to know this city, hire Mari Carmen Rodriguez for a day. She is my go-to guide to all things Catalunya. Find her at [email protected] , and be sure to tell her I sent you!

Michelin starred restaurants abound and the nightlife is always electric.  Share a jug of sangria with ridiculous views and leave the city chaos below!  There are few more romantic places than La Isabela at the Hotel 1898 .  It’s in the heart of Las Ramblas and the 360º view and super lounge seating provide the ultimate in relaxation.

Lisbon, Portugal.  Photo by Katya Shkiper on Unsplash

From Barcelona it’s a short flight to Lisbon for your final three nights. Dramatic scenery, a beautiful river, and charming cobblestone streets will leave you breathless. If you are looking for one of the most romantic places in Europe for a honeymoon, this hits the spot.  Portugal honeymoons are wonderful because of the country’s unique mix of breathtaking beaches and centuries-old architecture.

Once you land, there are several luxury hotels in Lisbon to choose from; the Pousada de Lisboa , Britania Art Deco Boutique Hotel , a Lisbon Heritage Collection, and the Hotel O Artista are highly-rated picks for an unforgettable stay.  Hidden away in Lisbon’s embassy district, the 5 star Olissippo Lapa Palace Hotel is the epitome of elegance, nestled on a hilltop overlooking the Tagus River, furnished with antiques and boasting a large outdoor pool and garden space.

Once you’ve dropped your luggage, hop on one of the city’s sleek trams to get around. If you have time, make sure to take a ride on the No. 28. These vintage Remodelado streetcars are wooden and painted yellow—a complete throwback to another era that fit right into the city’s narrow streets and old-world charm.  The Tagus is the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula and offers peaceful and relaxing views.

When you’re ready to nosh, be sure to try Portugal’s signature confection, pastel de nata, a cinnamon-dusted egg custard tart served throughout the city but perfected at Pastéis de Belem (since 1837), which sells over 20,000 pastries each day. While dining in the lovely blue and white tiled atrium, you may even spot a newlywed couple (or two) enjoying a Belém pastry, as there’s an old Portuguese proverb that says “A bride who eats a pastry will never take off her ring”. Any country that believes it’s good luck to eat pastries is fine by me!

By combining cities like these, you can create some exciting plans for that once in a lifetime memory.

These are great year-round recommendations. . .and not just for honeymooners!  Of course, the “dream itinerary” could be adjusted to fit any timeframe or schedule.  Thanks to Andrew and everyone at The Luxury Wanderer for allowing us to share it with our subscribers.  In addition to their website, please follow them @the.luxury.wanderer on Instagram and Facebook .

2-week Honeymoon in Europe

DISCLAIMER: This post might have links to travel services and products that we enjoy. We might make a commission from it at no extra cost to you.

Europe has been the epitome of romance for centuries, with its rich culture, romantic traditions, sceneries that evoke nostalgia and warm feelings, and diverse cuisine.

Most European countries have all these, so choosing which places to visit can be overwhelming. I created 2-week honeymoon in Europe itinerary options, highlighting the perfect itineraries.

When deciding which places to include in your 14-day honeymoon in Europe, start with a list of activities you want to visit.

Let’s say you love history. With that, Italy, Greece, France and Spain will be great. If you prefer water activities , then Spain, Italy, Greece, and Croatia will be great. For those who want to go to vineyards, Italy, Spain, and France are great choices.

For hikers, Norway, Madeira Island, Tenerife, Italy, France, and Croatia are awesome destinations. Looking for affordable places? Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, the Baltics, Poland, and Hungary should be considered.

BASIC TRAVEL INFORMATION FOR HONEYMOON IN EUROPE

Unsure when to go, the possible cost, or how many days to spend? Don’t worry; below, I will discuss these important details when planning your 2-week honeymoon Europe trip.

When is the best time to travel to Europe

I’ve been to Europe many times, and each season offers something Unique. But overall, I love visiting during the shoulder season, which is March to May and September to November . During these months, it’s not as crowded and the prices are decent.

But if you want a super warm honeymoon, the s ummer season is from June to August , which is also the busiest and most expensive. Winter season is awesome too, from November to February when you can go skiing and visit Christmas markets.

Are 2 weeks enough for a Honeymoon in Europe

For a honeymoon, 14 days in Europe is perfect . It’s neither too long nor too short. You can visit up to 2 countries covering 3-4 cities or stay in one country and travel a bit slower.

If you enjoy it, maybe for your anniversary, you’ll come back and explore new places together.

How to get around

Europe is incredibly easy to get around . While transportation varies from one country to another, you will still find that most cities are well-connected with rapid railway systems, buses, and even domestic flights.

Let’s focus on countries listed in this 2-week honeymoon in Europe itineraries.

For Italy , going around by train is easy and surprisingly affordable. If you want freedom of your time, you can rent a car. Although, most cars in Italy are in manual transmission, so keep that in mind.

Buses will be the most affordable choice, while planes are reliable too. However, there’s no need to get on a domestic flight if the travel time on air is less than 6 hours or requires a connection. You might find the train a better choice.

For France and Spain , there are also trains you can rely on, and buses will still be the most affordable. Flight might be a better choice, especially if you’re travelling from mainland Spain to Gran Canary Islands. Car rental in Spain and France is also in manual transmission.

When it comes to Greece and Croatia , you’re now talking about many islands, so ferries will play a big part, especially for Greece. In this case, you might want to consider domestic flights if possible.

North Greece and Croatia have a railway system, but mostly in the northern part. Once you reach the coast, you might have to rely on buses or rent a car and drive on your own. Cars in Croatia are manual, while in Greece, they’re automatic.

Finally, for Portugal and Norway, it can be a bit different. For vehicle rental, Norway is about 50:50 on manual vs automatic, while Portugal is mainly manual.

On the other hand, both countries have a broad railway network, a great option if you don’t want to drive. Buses are also an option, but they are slower.

For Norway, you’ll probably look at flying when the cities you plan to visit are too far from one another. The same goes for Portugal, especially getting from mainland Portugal to the Madeira Islands.

Language and currency

In Spain, Italy, Greece, and Croatia, you can get around with English , especially around touristy areas. Install a translation app as your backup plan.

For France, on the other hand, it can be a bit more challenging . Many French people don’t enjoy speaking English, especially in Paris, but you’ll still find many helpful locals who can communicate in English.

In comparison, almost 90% of Norwegians speak English , so getting around there and talking with the locals should not be a problem.

All the countries mentioned in this 2-week honeymoon in Europe itinerary use Euros except Norway. There, you have to get a local currency, NOK. On the other hand, paying with a bank card in Norway is very common.

Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, Norway, and France have the Schengen Area in place, meaning they share the same visa policy.

Passport holders of most countries in the Americas, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Australia, and Eastern Europe can enter and travel to the above destinations for up to 90 days in a 180-calendar day.

For other travellers, you must first apply for a Schengen tourist visa from the embassy of the country you’re visiting or spend most of your time in advance.

2-week Honeymoon in Europe cost

A honeymoon is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Sure, you can do a second honeymoon, but that would be more like an anniversary celebration. So, it’s understandable that many people want to splurge.

But this trip doesn’t have to be costly; you probably don’t want to start the new chapter of your life in debt. On the other hand, if you can afford it, you can definitely have an extravagant honeymoon.

Europe is not the most affordable destination for honeymoon since many people come here just for that. The demand can drive the cost a bit higher. However, if you’re on the budget, with good planning, it’s doable. Here’s an idea:

• Activities such as hiking, camping, cruises, and road-tripping are great affordable but memorable experiences.
• If you’re visiting during peak season, book your accommodations 6 months in advance to find good deals.
• You shouldn’t have a hard time arranging your trip, even at the minute. But to ensure you can reserve a spot in your preferred resort, plan a bit in advance.

These are only estimations; your travel style and expectations could affect the cost, plus the main flight and travel insurance are not calculated here.

Travel arrangement tips

Gon a multi-day cruise is one of the best ways to see so many places in Europe. However, this is something you should book in advance together with accommodation.

Transportation and even tours can be arranged at the last minute. Here are some sites that can help you make some bookings.

2-WEEK HONEYMOON IN EUROPE ITINERARY

The destinations included here are perfect for newlyweds who are wine lovers, nature lovers, history buffs, beach bums, foodies, and art lovers. I also included classic honeymoon places, an itinerary outline, and some tips on when to go for an overall more affordable trip.

There are four travel itineraries here to help you plan. Whether you’re on a budget, looking to splurge or prefer a hiking itinerary, you’ll find something here that suits you.

Itinerary #1: Italy only

The first itinerary option for your 2-week honeymoon in Europe is all about discovering Italy. This country is located in Southern and Western Europe, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.

Italy often tops the list of the world’s best honeymoon destinations because of its overall romantic vibe with its stunning beaches, charming vineyards, wonderful architecture, and ethereal sunsets.

A couple of romantic places in Italy are Venice, Lake Como, and Naples, which will be further discussed in the next paragraphs. This is naturally a high-budget itinerary , but you can visit between March and May or August to October if you want a more affordable overall cost of living.

Milan for 3 days (Lake Como)

Milan is a city in Northern Italy. Known as one of the world’s fashion capitals, it has also showcased impressive cityscapes and architectural designs. It is the perfect starting place for your trip because it has everything; from history to romantic getaway – it’s all here.

Some must-visit destinations here are Santa Maria Delle Grazie, Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele II, Sforzesco Castle, and La Scala, a premier opera house.

Another great thing about Milan is that you can do tons of day trips from here, including Lake Como, Turin, and Genoa. For football fans, you can check out Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, the home stadium for both AC Milan and Inter Milan FCs.

Venice for 3 days 

Whenever I read about Venice, my mind always goes to its world-famous canals and the intricate architecture behind its success. With that being said, t he Venice Grand Canal is one of the romantic destinations you could visit during your trip.

Try out a gondola ride with your special someone here. Other places to visit here include the Rialto Bridge, Piazza San Marco, Gallerie Dell’Accademia, and more.

The distance between Milan and Venice is 270 km (168 mi) long, and the most convenient and scenic route to maximize your trip would be to take the train with a travel time of more than 2 hours.

Other options include taking a bus or driving. You can also fly, but it’s more expensive and would take longer to reach your destination, with a travel time of around 5 hours. Take a look at our 2 weeks in Italy itineraries to give you some more ideas.

Bologna for 3 days 

Couples who are foodies would surely enjoy their stay here as Bologna is the food capital of Italy. Aside from that, it’s also well-known for the structure of its ancient churches. The piano that Mozart used can also be found here.

Some attractions in Bologna include Piazza Maggiore and Piazza del Nettuno, Santo Stefano, Leaning Towers, Sanctuary and Portico of the Madonna di San Luca, and more.

The distance between Venice and Bologna is 154.2 km (96 mi), and the most recommended option is to board the train, which also has a travel time of more than an hour. The cheapest option is taking the bus, which might take longer.

Sicily or Naples for 5 days

Sicily is one of the 20 regions of Italy and is the largest and most populous island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is a perfect place for couples who are on their honeymoon because of its idyllic backdrop involving volcanoes, mountains, charming villages, and authentic winery tours .

The distance between Sicily and Bologna is more than 1,000 km , so it’s best if you to fly, which has a travel time of almost 3 hours.

On the other hand, Naples is the third largest city in Italy. Known as the birthplace of pizza , it is also well-known for its incredible architecture of various establishments such as cathedrals, palaces, squares, and castles.

It is a must-visit for honeymooners who are fond of history and culture as it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and you will uncover a lot of ancient ruins here while enjoying their otherworldly cuisine.

The distance between Bolognia and Naples is 576 km (358 mi), so for this trip, I advise that you take the scenic route of riding the train. It has a travel duration of almost 4 hours.

The cheapest option is riding a bus. Other options include taking the night train, driving, or flying.

It is the perfect place to end your trip because aside from being able to have day trips to Sorrento, Capri, Pompeii, Salerno, and more, they also have an airport here, so you can opt to take your flight home from Rome.

You can read up on our itineraries for 2 weeks in France and 2 weeks in Spain to give you more travel tips and in-depth ideas.

Itinerary #2: France and Spain

France is a country that is filled with dreamy destinations. Spend time with your significant other in The City of Light, pretend to be royalty at Versailles, visit fairytale-like castles, snow-capped mountains, and storybook country villages , and try out the world-class gourmet dishes.

You’ll also surely fall in love with Spain’s enchanting natural beauty, rich history, and amazing culture, where you can spend your days lounging or sunbathing on Mediterranean beaches, watching entrancing flamenco performances, and trying out their local delicacies, among others.

Please take note, however, that this is a high-budget itinerary , but there are low seasons where the overall cost of living here is lower since there are fewer tourists at these times, and these are from March to May and August to October.

Paris for 4 days

The first city under the second itinerary option for your 14 days honeymoon in Europe is Paris, also known as the city of lights, one of the four big fashion capitals in the world, and the city of love , hence why it is included in this itinerary.

When going to Paris, one must not miss out on going to the Eiffel Tower. The romantic setup of this world-renowned landmark is perfect for couples.

Other must-visit locations are the Louvre, Jardin des Tuileries, Notre Dame Cathedral, and more. Paris Saint Germain, one of the most famous football clubs’ stadiums, and Parc des Princes can also be found here.

Paris is a perfect starting place because it has so much to offer. Aside from being a city of romance, its gastronomy was granted UNESCO World Heritage status.

For foodies, feel free to explore their wide selection of cheeses as they have 1,600 types of these and a perfect wine to pair with it for adventurers; Europe’s highest mountain can be found here, so see, there’s always something to do in Paris for everyone.

South of France for 4 days (Nice, Marseille, or Toulouse)

The next stop is South of France, with an option between Nice, Marseille, or Toulouse. Marseille is perfect for couples who love the beach and Mediterranean vibes.

People who are fond of seafood and those who want to learn more about history can go here. Toulouse, on the other hand, is perfect for those who are mountain and wine lovers and those who prefer a more laid-back setup.

Nice is perfect for those who are art lovers and are fond of checking out historical architecture and villages such as Old Town.

The distance between Paris to Nice is 932 km (579 miles), w ith a travel time on the road between 7 to 9 hours , so the most recommended option is to fly , which, fortunately, is also the cheapest, with tickets ranging from $59-$274

Other options include riding the train, riding the bus, driving, or riding the night bus.

Barcelona for 3 days

Barcelona is the capital and the largest city in Catalonia, which is an autonomous region. It is famous for its sandy beaches and vibrant nightlife.

In fact, it is considered to be one of the liveliest cities worldwide. In fact, one of its festivals attracts up to 200,000 people, which is the La Merce.

For art enthusiasts and architecture buffs, you can see world-renowned Gaudi’s ethereal architecture here, such as La Sagrada Familia, Casa Battlo, Park Guell, and more.

The distance between Nice and Barcelona is 661.9 km (411 mi) , the most recommended option would be to fly, which has a travel duration of more than 4 hours . Other options include riding the bus, train, or driving.

Tenerife (Canary Islands) for 3 days

Tenerife is perfect for those who are nature lovers as it is a famous stargazing spot since it has low pollution levels. Other activities to do here include diving, birdwatching, and hiking.

This is also a haven for wine connoisseurs as it is internationally recognized for its wine . One of the biggest waterparks, Siam Park, and Europe’s largest lava tube could also be found here.

Tenerife is quite far from Barcelona, with a distance of 2,489 km, so flying is the most advisable option here . There’s a direct flight, but it’s limited, so make sure to book in advance.

This is the perfect place to end your 2-week honeymoon in Europe because it does not have the usual hectic environment that the previous locations have, it has fewer crowds, and you’re completely surrounded by sand and sky, where you could witness one of the prettiest sunrise and sunsets.

We have 2 weeks in Croatia itineraries and 2 weeks in Greece itineraries – great resources when it comes to putting together a memorable 2-week honeymoon in Europe plan.

Itinerary #3: Greece or Croatia (or Combo)

Greece brings so much history that you can explore, while hiking in Croatia is just magical. Finally, both places have incredible islands for water activities or simply enjoying the sun and water. These two destinations are amazing for those who love the beach, history, and islands.

Greece is a country in Southeast Europe, located on the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula. It is well-known for its ancient archaeological sites, sand and pebbled beaches, natural beauty, fascinating culture, and great climate.

Croatia is a Mediterranean country located at the crossroads of the Balkans and Central Europe. It is filled with warm and welcoming people, unspoiled historical sites, and natural beauty.

These countries generally have lower costs of living compared to the other itineraries above, so i f you are looking to have the same experience that is more budget-friendly, then these are the countries to visit.

Athens for 4 days

Athen is the capital of Greece and is suitable for honeymooners who are fond of historical sites and architecture as it is filled with iconic landmarks, world-class museums, ruins, and monuments.

Going here will make you feel like you were transported back in time . Not only that, but it also has a lively night scene.

It is the perfect starting point as almost every location here is walkable , and once you get tired of walking, there are diverse modes of transport: air, sea, driving, and rail. Aside from that, they offer tons of day trips to different locations, including Corinth, Delphi, Olympia, and the Saronic Islands.

Crete or Santorini for 4 days 

If I were to choose which is better for honeymooners, I would choose Santorini because it has a more romantic vibe overall . However, I’ll list both of the pros of going to these locations so that you’ll have a clearer grasp of what each location offers.

Santorini is famous for its architectural structure, unmatched sunsets, distinctive wine, and remarkable archaeological sites, while Crete has better beaches (albeit them being more spread out) and more outdoor activities.

The distance between Athens and Santorini is 300 km (186 mi) , and the mode of transportation options is by flying and riding a ferry.

Flying is faster, with a travel time of 50 minutes, while riding a ferry lasts 4-7 hours but is cheaper. If you are going to Crete, I suggest that you also fly as the travel time is almost 3 hours while on the ferry, it can reach up to 9 hours.

Dubrovnik for 3 days

Dubrovnik is a city located in southern Dalmatia, Croatia, by the Adriatic Sea. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations in the Mediterranean area and is included in UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Some of the locations here are also sets from Game of Thrones, Star Wars, and more . A couple of tourist attractions here are the Old City walls, Lokrum Island, Stradun, Fort Lovrijenac, and more.

If you’re coming from Crete and then going to Dubrovnik , I highly suggest that you fly because other travel options take almost 2 days while travelling through flying will take almost 6 hours to reach your destination.

If you’re coming from Santorini, I also urge you to travel by flying , as riding the car ferry and then driving takes almost 19 hours while flying only takes almost 4 hours. Surprisingly, flying is also the cheaper option.

Split or Pula for 3 days

Split is Croatia’s second-largest city and is where both modern and ancient coexist seamlessly. It is famous for a UNESCO World Heritage site, Diocletian Palace, and for its crystal clear beaches.

You can even plan a day trip to Hvar Island. On the other hand, Pula has a vibrant nightlife and tons of Roman Ruins, so this is perfect for history-lover couples.

The distance between Dubrovnik and Split is 232 km (144 mi) , so riding a bus is the most recommended option for this trip. It has a travel time of almost 4 hours, and tickets cost anywhere between $14 and $28.

Driving is the fastest option, and another option aside from this is taking a ferry. Pula and Dubrovnik are farther from each other, with a distance of 718 km, so you can opt to fly, but it is expensive, with ticket prices ranging from $142 to $321.

Other options include riding the ferry and then taking a bus via Zadar, which has a travel time of 13 hours and driving.

Pula is the perfect place to end your trip as it is less crowded and has some of the best-preserved Roman ruins, including the majestic Arena, which holds various events multiple times a year.

Aside from that, you can also take a day trip to Istria and even watch a movie under the stars during the Pula Film Festival. Brioni National Park, Castello Fortress, Underground Tunnels, and other must-visit locations here.

Itinerary #4: Norway and Portugal (Madeira Islands)

Norway, also known as the land of the midnight sun and northern lights, offers an incredible mix of cultural and natural wonders.

From snowcapped mountains to fjords to museums and cosmopolitan cities, this country caters to adventurers, laid-back honeymooners, and even those who love the hustle and bustle of city life.

Portugal is also a remarkably diverse destination, filled with picturesque coves, enchanting towns, stone-made villages, museums, castles, historic palaces, and 800 km of the Atlantic Ocean coastline.

We will focus, however, on the subtropical island of Madeira, also known as The Garden Isle. All these locations are suitable for couples who love hiking.

This itinerary is ideal for those looking to experience very different activities while discovering two places. While Norway is an expensive destination, Portugal is a bit more affordable, which will balance the cost.

Check out our 2 weeks in Portugal and 2 weeks in Norway itineraries to get more ideas on what to do in each destination.

Oslo for 4 days

Oslo is Norway’s capital and its most populous city. It is also the country’s most ethnically diverse city and is famous for its rich culture, delectable cuisine, and various outdoor activities.

Some must-visit locations here include Fram Museum, Akershus Fortress, The Norwegian National Opera & Ballet, MUNCH, and more.

This city is the perfect place to start your trip as it has an international airport and consists of a perfect balance of nature, history, and modernized establishments. It is nestled between forested hills and has numerous beaches, hiking trails, and promenades.

Bergen for 4 days 

Bergen is the second largest city in Norway and is also called the city of seven mountains. It also features amazing Norwegian fjords and was voted the world’s most unspoiled tourist destination by The National Geographic.

Its tourist attractions include Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf, Mount Floyen, Grieg Museum, and more. It is well-known for hosting international events as well, such as Nattjazz Festival, Bergenfest, and Bergen International Festival.

The distance between Oslo and Bergen is 463.5 km (288 mi) , so I highly recommend that you take a combination of riding the train and flying as the travel time lasts for 3 hours, while if you solely ride the train, it will take 7 hours to reach your destination. Other options include riding the bus and driving.

Madeira Islands for 6 days

Madeira is one of the two autonomous regions of Portugal. It is an archipelago situated in the North Atlantic Ocean. Europe’s tallest sea cliff can be found here, and this is also Cristiano Ronaldo, the world-famous footballer’s hometown.

Some of the tourist attractions here are Sao Vicente Caves, Porto Moniz Natural Pools, Levada Walks, Madeira Botanical Garden, and, of course, a museum dedicated to Ronaldo. Plus, there are over 20 well-marked hiking trails for you to explore.

It would be faster coming from Oslo for those who are planning to go to Madeira Island. The fastest flight is 5 hours and 20 minutes, and the cheapest round-trip flight costs $210.

This is the perfect place to end your trip as you could relax to your heart’s content on this island, what with its natural pools, stunning beaches and flower gardens, vibrant culture, and sumptuous food.

Europe Honeymoon Travel Guide

Europe. The uncrowned centre of the world; and not just because the Prime Meridian passes through it. It is a continent that has defined ethereal beauty and culture that is rooted in history, dating back millenniums. There is romance in almost everything that Europe has to offer, be it the white snow glaciers of Finland that are canopied by Northern Lights skies, or the cliffs of Ireland that run like emerald carpets. If there is the Eiffel Tower and the cobbled streets of Paris that define romance for some, then there is also Venice with its chaos and gondola-men calling out ride prices that becomes swoony for others. If you are here looking for European honeymooning ideas then you’ve landed on the right planet!

Here’s a little travel guide, describing honeymoon tourism in Europe.

How to Reach

Europe is one of the most forward continents in the world in terms of its countries and cities and airports. Flying to Europe is one of the best options to reach there, but then it depends on which part of Europe you want to visit. 

To sum up Europe’s most coveted honeymoon destinations and their airports, you have the option of flying from India to places like Paris (Charles de Gaulle International Airport), London (Heathrow Airport and others), Rome , Zurich , Stockholm, Berlin among others. Actually, you have the option of direct flights to some of these cities, while to others there are connecting flights. It will depend on which part of Europe you are flying to first, but most honeymooners usually start their holiday from Paris or Rome.

‘All roads lead to Rome’ could easily be altered to ‘All roads lead to Europe,’ and it would still be just as true. You can travel to European cities from India by road but that is a very tedious journey, going through some not so palatable countries and volatile regions of the Middle East; and unless you are an adventurer couple, not really fun for a honeymoon. But of course, taking a road trip through European countries is very romantic, and quite a recommended itinerary once you’ve landed in one of the main cities like London or Paris or Zurich. Cars are readily hired from rental companies and there are also buses you can book seats on if you are on a budget.

DDLJ fans gather around, Eurail is about to board! Yes, if you are one of those lovers of 90s Bollywood romance and have always dreamed about a honeymoon aboard Eurail and travelling across the heart of Europe, then this is just the thing for you. Once you have landed in Europe, you can take one of these Eurail trains that come with various itineraries and routes, basically connecting every corner, from Edinburgh to Spain and Brussels to Athens . 

Waterways in and around Europe are pretty well developed. While the Nordic countries can only be reached by air or water (ferries, ships, boats), others also have cross-travel routes that use river cruises, ferries, sea travel and more. For example, you can take the boat across the Chanel from France to United Kingdom, go for cruises that dock at all major shores, or choose to enjoy Eastern Europe’s water travel down River Danube. The south coasts of Italy , Spain, Madrid , Croatia also make for great sea travel and cruise stops.

Getting Around:

One little clue to make a romantic honeymoon, choose getting around options wisely in Europe; like gondolas in Venice , bicycles in France and Netherlands , Segways in Belgium , and the two humble feet in Greece . Of course, wherever you go, you will encounter great local transport facilities like metro trains, buses and even trams. Taxis, Ubers and other app-based cabs will be at your beck and call. But there is something special about doing city travel like locals, with your spouse in tow.

• How To Reach Europe

Weather and Best Time to Visit

Europe is best visited through its springs and summers, although some places also do great in winters. It really depends on where you are going and what you want to do for you honeymoon to determine the best time to visit.

Spring (March to May):

Spring temperatures in Europe can vary from anywhere between 10-18°C, depending on which part of the continent you are taking about. While the upper western reaches like the UK, France and Belgium are cooler, the Nordic countries are quite cold. But the southern part, viz a viz Spain , Italy , Madrid , Greece etc are quite warm and dry. So these become inevitably beautiful for a spring honeymoon with your beloved.

Summer (June to August):

Summer is stupendous anywhere in Europe, the temperatures depending on the geographic part; i.e. Nordic countries are in the 20s, while the central and western regions may touch upto 30°C. Southern Europe is warmer than all, going to mid-thirties; while the coasts of these countries are amazing with all the warm water bodies, sunlit sands and rocks and great holiday crowd. Honeymooning couples here in summer get to flaunt their bodies in bikinis and board shorts, enjoy PDA, bask in the sun and drink loads of cocktails. 

Autumn (September to November):

Autumn is a beautiful time in Europe, all crisp cool air and dry leaves, auburn red trees and the holiday season looming large in the air. October is usually a prelude to the celebratory season of November-December. Some of the best destinations at this time to honeymoon at include central Europe ( Germany , Austria , Hungary ) for their christmas markets and the Oktober Fest, along with a few northernmost Nordic regions like Finland and Norway for the beginnings of Northern Lights. Most of Western and Southern Europe will see mild rainfall and gloomy early evenings in autumn. 

Winter (December to February):

Most European destinations are too cold to enjoy in winter. But some of them do good with the Christmas festivities, inviting crowds for the celebrations. Most of the Northern, Western and Central European countries see a lot of snowfall between December and February. The Southern region may see some snowfall and some sunshine but their coasts and beaches are not much use to have fun. So for a winter honeymoon in Europe, you could plan for places like Switzerland , Germany, Austria-Hungary- Czech Republic , Greece or the South of France ( French Riviera ).

Things to Do

Honeymooning couples come to Europe seeking some exotic time, some privacy, and lots of romance. And the continent hands out the latter in spades. Here are some of the things you could do if you plan to honeymoon in Europe.

Go through all the Romance in France :

Well, if there is romance everywhere in Europe, then France is romance brought to life. The lovely streets of Paris with quaint cafes serving delicious French pastries and coffee, the museums that are all art and history, the wines of Bordeaux , the promenades and beaches of Nice… you can feel romance like a pulse beating in the air. So for a honeymooning couple, there is nothing sweeter and more memorable than exploring the sites and cities of this country. And of course, don’t forget the Eiffel Tower, even though it may sound a bit overrated. 

Hold hands through Italy ’s cobblestone streets:

Italy is a sunny paradise, at least through the months of spring, summer and part-autumn. With its beautiful history and culture, this country invites lovers to its cherished treasures. Like the Trevi Fountain in Rome , the Colosseum, St. Peter’s Basilica etc, or the canals and gondolas of Venice , the art and architecture of Florence and the sweeping scenic beauty of Sicily . An Italian honeymoon is all shades of foodie too, because imagine sharing all that pasta and pizza and gelato with your lover!

Cycle your way through Netherlands :

Netherlands is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, with its charming windmills and sunflower farms, tulip gardens going endlessly into the horizon, museums of eccentric artists and canals criss-crossing cute cities. As a couple, this country is a dream to holiday in. You can each hire a bicycle and explore everything here, even go from one town to another on your bikes because that’s how many locals travel too. 

Enjoy the Beaches of Southern Europe:

By Southern Europe we mean places like Spain , Portugal , Croatia and their likes; the ones that skim the Mediterranean and the Pacific. Here you will find an endless supply of Vitamin Sea, sand, sunshine like a warm slide of butterscotch on your skin and seafood to go with every meal. From awesome cities like Madrid and Barcelona to the seaside delight that is Lisbon , from Croatia’s walled ancient cities ( Dubrovnik ) to the delights of tapas, flamencos and paella everywhere… exploring this part of Europe is a cultural treat to your honeymoon.

Sparkle with German Christmas Markets:

If you are honeymooning in Europe around November-December, i.e. the holiday season, then plan a trip to one of these places - Germany , Austria or Hungary . Along the many other countries, these three are widely popular for their Christmas Night Markets, the unbelievable fairytale decorations, delicious Christmas food and some cute holiday shopping. As a couple, there isn’t anything more romantic than Christmas, and you must take your partner here to experience the sheer magic.

Explore Chapels and Ruins in Greece :

Greece is known for many things, its food and its Mediterranean vibes, its whitewashed islands and olive grooves. But what it is most renowned for is the set of ancient monuments and buildings, some of which are in ruin now. The Greek Civilisation was one of the trailblazers for the modern world; the Romans and the Byzantines, the Ottomans and the Turks, they all ruled here at one point in time or another, leaving behind amazing architecture. And each piece is just as steeped in history as it is romantic. So go with your partner exploring places like the Parthenon, Acropolis and Plaka in Athens . Then there is the City of Olympia, Mycenae, Theatre of Dionysus and the legendary Mount Olympus. 

Eat your Weight in Cheese and Chocolate in Switzerland :

Be still my beating heart. It’s just chocolates and cheeses. And Switzerland! Couples love this combination, from the Yash Chopra valleys and train routes to snow-capped mountains and cute clean towns, the Alps and Jura Mountains to the lakes at Interlaken and Geneva . Explore this country with your beloved and partake in some of the most delicious (and aphrodisiac) dishes including Rosti and Raclette (all cheese), wines and gourmet chocolates.

• Tourist Places To Visit In Europe

What to Eat

Europe is a very globally attuned place in today’s time. And since every sixth person in the world is an Indian, it wouldn’t be difficult for you to find some Indian or vegetarian or even vegan food in Europe. In fact, the latter is a fad in almost all major cities of Europe. However, if you are looking at trying local fare, then here’s the deal - fries, chocolate sprinkled breads, waffles and pancakes in Netherlands and Belgium , coffee, croissants, macaroons, desserts and wine in France , local pastas, pizza and risotto in Italy , Turkish kebabs, hot dogs, open sandwiches and broth curries in Germany , crisp salads, moussaka and greek yogurt breakfast in Greece , and paella, seafood, tapas bites and pails of sangria in Spain / Portugal . Try these locally and you would be savouring the taste even years after your honeymoon.

Where to Shop

Europe, ladies, is the Mecca of shopping. So if you are dedicating a part of your honeymoon to some shopping therapy then here’s where you should go - Paris , Milan , London , Barcelona or Geneva . These are some of the trendiest cities on the continent to shop for those lovely brands you have been vying for. From Gucci to Givenchy, Louis Vuitton to Prada, there is no dearth of luxury brands. Neither is there any lack of highstreet fashion (re: Zara, Bershka, Marks & Spencer, H&M, Mango and so on and so forth). Faubourg Saint-Honoré and Boulevard Haussmann in Paris, Via Montenapoleone in Milan, Bond Street, Primark and Mayfair in London, and Passeig de Gracia of Barcelona are the BEST for shopaholics.

With your wedding drawing closer, it’s time to turn your attention to one of the most exciting parts of getting married: your honeymoon! From road trips through Spain to island hopping in Greece, there are plenty of amazing destinations in Europe to choose from.

As the home of opera, the Colosseum, and pizza (mmmm pizza!!), there are plenty of romantic cities in Italy for you and your new spouse to explore. 

Ready to dive in and start planning your dream Italian honeymoon itinerary? Let’s go!

Coming up, I’ll share what I consider to be the best honeymoon destinations in Italy, complete with romantic activities and luxurious places to stay in each one.

If you’re looking for more inspiration, I’ve also written two detailed Italian road trip itineraries – one for Southern Italy , one for Northern Italy . If you already know you’d like to focus on one part of the country and move at a leisurely pace, you might want to use one of these routes to structure your trip.

When thinking about romantic honeymoon destinations in Italy, the Eternal City is definitely up there! Rome is a thriving destination full of history, culture, and beauty. From the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps, to the Colosseum, it’s a city packed full of legendary sights.

Double up your culture fix with a trip to Vatican City, which houses one of the largest collections of art anywhere in the world. Plus, don’t miss a tour of the Sistine Chapel while you’re there!

In terms of living the lavish honeymoon lifestyle, I’d recommend checking into the Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome . This world-class hotel is located right in the heart of the action in the Piazza della Repubblica, with a metro station just 100 yards away. 

You can finish off your day with a sunset dip in the rooftop pool, before heading out for a feast of pizza and pasta. Don’t forget to leave space for a gelato or two!

Whether you’ve watched season two of The White Lotus and want to live the Sicilian dream, or you just want to eat your body weight in cannolis and arancini, Sicily is up there as one of my favourite regions in Italy.

Carve out time to travel around the east coast of Sicily, including Catania, Mount Etna, and the stunning coastal town of Taormina. Known for its Ancient amphitheatre , Taormina is a town that’s full of beautiful beach resorts , historic buildings, and amazing festivals. It’s the ideal base for a honeymoon in Sicily.

Let’s be honest, no Sicily honeymoon is complete without an epic tour of Mount Etna . With fertile volcanic soil, the banks of this active volcano also provide some of the best vineyards in Italy. What could be more romantic than a vineyard trip surrounded by scenery as picturesque as that?!

For your luxury honeymoon stay, I’d recommend booking a suite at San Domenico Palace in Taormina. Providing panoramic views out across the bay and an opulent infinity pool, is there a better place to sit back and relax after your wedding?

If you’re looking for some more honeymoon hotel options for your time in this region, I’d recommend reading my guide to the best beach resorts in Sicily . There are plenty more hotels as memorable as this one!

Tuscany makes an amazing amazing addition to any honeymoon in Italy. This spectacular region is filled with rolling hills, rustic architecture and warm Italian hospitality. It’s also home to some of the most beautiful towns and villages in the country, including the walled towns of Siena, Lucca, and San Gimignano.

You could spend your honeymoon road tripping around these amazing towns and villages, stopping off at a vineyard or two along the way. Alternatively, you could choose a city break and book a stay in the Renaissance city of Florence.

With the world-class Uzzifi Gallery , the beautiful Boboli Gardens , a top culinary scene, and the iconic Ponte Vecchio, you’ll be spoiled for choice in this Tuscan wonderland.

But, why just go a wine tasting when you could stay in one of Tuscany’s vineyard hotels ? There are dozens dotted all over Tuscany, but one of the best is Borgo Scopeto Relais – a countryside estate surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. It’s the perfect place to relax after a hectic period planning your wedding!

Gondola rides, vibrant piazzas, and picturesque canals… is there a more romantic honeymoon destination than Venice? Of course, a gondola ride on the Grand Canal with your new husband or wife is a must. Time it for sunset and you’re in for a treat!

If you want to double down on the romance, you could also book a day trip to Verona , home of the famous Juliet balcony that inspired Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet .

You could add in a historic tour of Doge’s Palace. With its beautiful views and architecture, it’s a great addition to your honeymoon plan.

For a cosy place to cuddle up after a day of sightseeing, I’d recommend Hotel Metropole Venezia . With its uninterrupted views of the canals, prime location next to Doge’s Palace, and celebrity-level treatment, it just oozes romance.

I’ve always adored my trips to Lake Como. The mountain views, the shimmering blue lake, and the gorgeous lakeside towns offer the perfect escape. I’ve never been with my partner, but I’ve always felt like it’d be a very romantic place to visit! It’s a great destination to add to your Italy honeymoon itinerary.

Honestly, there are so many things to do around Lake Como . From boat trips to Bellagio and amazing food tours, to skiing in the winter months , there’s a lot to love about this place! 

For an added bit of romance, how about heading to a lakeside bar at sunset for a glass or two of local wine. Watch as the golden rays turn the lake the most beautiful colour. It’s a pretty perfect way to round off a romantic day in northern Italy!

If you consider yourself a foodie and love modern architecture, there’s no better honeymoon hotel than Il Sereno . With a Michelin-starred restaurant onsite and stunning Art Nouveau rooms, this grand hotel is 100% honeymoon-worthy! 

Amalfi Coast

Sweeping views, amazing cliff-side towns and beaches packed with glamorous types, there’s a reason the Amalfi Coast is one of the most popular honeymoon destinations in Italy., As well as picturesque coastal towns such as Positano and Ravello, you’ll also find the chic islands of Capri and Ischia nearby.

Now, you may have seen pretty photos of the Amalfi Coast on Instagram, but this region is characterised by huge lemon groves, sandy beaches, crystal clear water, amazing coastal hikes (including the Path of the Gods ), and charming towns and villages.

Of course, it’s also dappled in southern Italian sunshine for the vast majority of the year, so it’s the ideal place to sit alfresco sipping a glass of local limoncello with your lover.

While there are endless luxury hotels to choose from in Positano , Sorrento and Capri , it’s hard to beat the old-world sophistication and luxury of the Luxury Villa Excelsior Parco . Located on the old grounds of a Roman Villa, this place is both historical and beautiful. You’ll never want to leave this amazing five-star hotel with its outstanding views! 

I hope this guide to visiting Italy on honeymoon helps narrow down the key destinations for you! I struggled to pick just a few, but I’d also recommend Puglia , Lake Garda and the Aeolian Islands if you want to expand your plans.

If you’d like any more help planning your Italy honeymoon itinerary, I’d recommend reading my two road trip itineraries. There are plenty more amazing destinations to visit and they should help you craft your route through the country.

How To Plan a Honeymoon Trip to Europe

Envision taking your honeymoon trip to Europe and visiting all the places you’ve dreamed about. Or maybe you want to pick just one place to relax and take in all the sights. There’s no limit to what you can do in Europe, so we’ve broken down the best tips and ideas.

Here’s what we’ll cover on this page:

• Best honeymoon destinations in Europe
• Europe honeymoon itinerary
• Honeymoon in Europe costs

Europe Honeymoon Destinations

You've decided that Europe is the place to be for you and your partner. Now comes deciding which country (or countries) and cities to visit. It’s important to have an idea of what kind of honeymoon you want—and your budget.

Western Europe is home to many popular honeymoon destinations including luxury honeymoon destinations like Paris and Monaco. An Eastern Europe honeymoon could mean staying in more unique honeymoon destinations in Europe with accommodations that are likely more affordable.

Both regions of Europe offer a plethora of opportunities for honeymooners with any budget.

So, what are the best destinations?

• Florence, Italy   – The art, the charm, and the beautiful sunsets make this a first-class destination for many honeymooners.
• Amsterdam, The Netherlands   – This romantic city of 150 connecting canals makes it the perfect backdrop for any honeymoon. It’s also an ideal location for LGBTQ+ travelers, as it was the first country to legalize same-sex marriage back in 2000.
• Santorini, Greece   – Greece is one of the most popular newlywed destinations in the world. You can swim in the Aegean Sea, dine on amazing food, and explore the city and its iconic whitewashed buildings.
• Mykonos, Greece   – Beaches, food, great parties, and stunning scenery make this a beautiful destination for newlyweds. Check out Little Venice on the western end for lots of clubs and other fun things to do.

Honeymoon in Europe Cost

One of the most important considerations when planning a honeymoon in Europe is the cost to travel, stay, and have fun. Prices vary depending on when and where you go. According to   Brides.com , a European honeymoon can cost anywhere from $6,000 to $25,000 depending on your budget and travel style. More high-end, luxury trips can be as much as $35,000!

If you’re working with a smaller budget, it’s still possible to plan a fun European vacation. One way to stay within budget is to look for   cheap honeymoon destinations in Europe . Consider these cities:

• Kraków, Poland
• Dubrovnik, Croatia
• Marche, Italy
• Crete, Greece
• Lake Bled, Slovenia
• Porto, Portugal
• Lake Iseo, Italy

Check out  this blog we wrote for  Goats on the Road  to help you navigate Kraków on a budget!

There are other ways couples can stick to their budget when planning a honeymoon. Here are four money-saving tips for European honeymoon travel:

• Book early.   As soon as you set the dates for your honeymoon, book it (even if it’s a year away). Flights and hotels are typically more affordable when you aren’t booking them last minute.
• Consider a vacation rental.   This works well, especially if you are going to be there for an extended period of time and hope to do some at-home meals. Living on the beach or a Greek Island sounds way better than a high-rise hotel, right?
• Consider going in the off-season.   June through August is very busy for European vacations. Then there’s Christmas and New Year’s. If you can schedule your vacation in the fall or spring, the likelihood of you getting what you want at affordable rates is much higher.
• Let your budget guide the planning process.   Write down all the places in Europe you’re considering and start tracking deals on different sites. This is when booking early can come in handy. Use sites like   Skyscanner   and   Kayak   to compare prices and keep an eye out for other ticket deals.

Wundervisuals

After a year of taking it slow, hibernating inside, and attempting to maintain sanity during the pandemic, the world is gradually beginning to open up. Whether you postponed your nuptials or you’re wedding planning for the first time, you may be considering a European honeymoon. After all, there’s so much romance to consider: the winding vineyards and wine tasting experiences of Tuscany and Florence, the jaw-dropping seasides of Santorini, Greece ; Split, Croatia ; or San Sebastian, Spain , or even the cobblestone streets of Prague or Vienna. There’s no shortage of ways to celebrate the start of your marriage visiting European destinations — but many of these picturesque experiences cost a pretty penny. Also, it’s vital to read the fine print, as many airlines, hotels and European countries have specific mandates. Here, a guide to planning your European honeymoon on a budget in 2021, 2022 — and beyond.

First: research before you book.

In mid-May, the European Union  announced  they would reopen to vaccinated Americans in the summer. Of course, this resulted in joyful cries of excitement from those eager to use their dusty passports again. However, it has also caused confusion since the rules vary from one country to the next. A helpful way to think about it is to compare the EU's role to the federal government in the United States. They can make recommendations for states on what to do in certain situations, but it is still up to each state to set its standards. The same is true for countries within the EU: they can decide if they want to open to vaccinated Americans (or any other nation) or not. So far, many have announced their reopening plans, including Greece, France and Spain. But many have not, so double (and triple) check before you book anything. The beginning of your first trip as a married couple shouldn’t be full of disappointment if you’re denied entry at a border. Instead, plan for what you know, pick the perfect destination, and savor being newlyweds. 

Book now, even for 2022.

The summer of 2021 is still a hit-or-miss time to travel to Europe since opening plans vary greatly. If newlyweds can find a country that welcomes vaccinated travelers or those who test negative upon arrival, book ASAP, says  travel expert Kathy McCabe . She says it is likely you can still snag bargains for 2021 since hoteliers and tour companies aren’t getting the entire summer season in 2021, so they’re offering incredible deals. However, 2022 is going to be a different story, she wants. 

“People feel more confident about traveling to Europe in 2022 and are booking away. Families who were hesitant about traveling with unvaccinated children this summer have moved trips to 2022, as well as those who just simply didn't feel confident about playing a waiting game in 2021. They can book more confidently in 2022, and they are,” she explains.

So, the advice for 2021 and 2022 is the same: the earlier you book, the more affordable your honeymoon will be. 

Take advantage of deals for flights and hotels. 

Regardless if you’re getting hitched this year or next, McCabe says now is the time to book your flights. This is true for any class, but if you’re going to splurge and fly business or first-class, the quicker you hit ‘book’, the more money you will save. As she explains, currently flights to Europe have not been this cheap in years. For example, a round-trip economy ticket to Rome from New York is as little as $635 later this summer. Also, there are incredible business class sales, especially from European airlines like TAP Portugal (to Lisbon) and Aer Lingus (to Germany or England), for as little as $999. 

The same tactic is clever for hotel booking since nightly rates will increase as Europe opens more and more, says Sekou Saunders, the founder and CEO of  The Destination Club . “Book soon to grab the lower pricing before everyone starts using their travel vouchers and credits, even if you plan on traveling later,” he encourages. “Hotels haven't been able to work at full occupancy, and lately, they have lowered nightly rates. I believe it's to get people excited to travel again and give them an offer that's hard to refuse.”

But next year, when more people are comfortable traveling and lots of people have been vaccinated, the room rates will be higher than usual because the demand is higher, he adds.

Consider staying at a spa hotel. 

If you and your spouse-to-be have visited Europe many times, you probably don’t imagine your perfect honeymoon as non-stop sightseeing. For those couples looking for a more relaxed, intimate experience, McCabe says to consider a spa hotel or resort for your honeymoon since they’re often all-inclusive and more budget-friendly. “They are frequented by couples and can be found in some of the most scenic places in Europe, including Saturnia in Italy and Baden Baden in the Black Forest of Germany,” she says. “It is a great way to honeymoon and experience European culture in a very authentic way.”

Let the price guide your planning. 

Would you consider yourself a bit of a risk-taker? Or, following the pandemic, you’re more spontaneous than ever? If so, consider letting the airlines pick your perfect honeymoon destination. As McCabe explains, you can set up custom alerts on Scott’s Cheap Deals, Google Flights, or another price-tracking website. Make a list of all European countries you would be interested in visiting, and wait for the email to come through, letting you know a flight is on sale. And hey, rather than trying to choose between honeymoon ideas, you let the magic of the internet do it for you! 

“I know many honeymooners who have gotten crazy good deals on flights to Europe, and it just means you will have more to spend on the ground,” she explains. “Scott's scours numerous sources for the best deals for major airlines. They also specialize in finding ‘mistake fares.’ Those rare gems that airlines usually honor: like NYC to Paris for $276 roundtrip.”

Consider a vacation rental.

Some couples dream of staying in a luxury hotel or a boutique hotel in Porto, Budapest, Athens, Barcelona or another dreamy spot around the world. However, not everyone needs white fluffy robes or room service to experience a true romantic getaway. Rather than paying upwards of $500 a night for five-stars, book a vacation rental through VRBO  to have an equally-exciting affordable honeymoon. Especially if you book ASAP, you can likely find a gorgeous home-away-from-home on the beach on a Greek Island or somewhere around the Mediterranean. You might even consider hopping around to various countries — from Spain to France and Italy — staying at beautiful beaches and buying local produce and fish to whip up at home. 

Consider the off-season. 

The busiest season of the year for European jetsetting is summer, from June to August. Following close behind is Christmas and New Year’s. If you can, schedule your honeymoon around the off-season, in the fall or the spring, suggests Saunders. When you do this, you’ll automatically save money since rates are higher. For those couples who don’t mind a little cooler or unpredictable weather, your honeymoon can be just as lovely — and less expensive. (And hey, Europe is romantic year-round!)

Plus, visiting in the off-season means fewer crowds, so a road trip won't be full of bumper-to-bumper traffic. Or, you can tour through old town without worrying about bumping into other tourists. You can also enjoy nightlife, without feeling suffocated. Whether you tap into your Italian roots and visit Milan and Venice, or you track down your Ireland ancestors and venture to Dublin — the off-season is when you'll get the most bang for your buck. 

Get personal. 

Your honeymoon is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and thus, it’s personal to both of you. Saunders says to express this to your hotel when you’re booking. You can share about yourself, the purpose of the trip, and any other details that you feel comfortable divulging. By booking directly with the hotel, you’re more likely to receive an unexpected upgrade. Plus, it gives your more security and wiggle room with bargaining.

“Many hotels and resorts match prices, so try to find the property you want on a third-party site and then contact the property directly to see if they'll give you the same rate so you can book with them instead,” he says. “It's always better to book directly with the resort or hotel in case anything happens, they're reliable, and they can't blame it on the company booked with.”

Best European honeymoons – romantic ideas for itinerary and packages

A honeymoon is once-in-a-lifetime event and that is why we all want it to be perfect.

If you are looking for the best ideas for a romantic European honeymoon, look no further than our list of the top 10 honeymoon destinations in Europe.

Once you have identified the ideal European city or country for your honeymoon, look around for a good all inclusive honeymoon package.

Some couples opt for a customized Europe tour – targeting four or five countries for their honeymoon trip – but we recommend planning your honeymoon in just one European destination.

Before the dates for your European honeymoon arrive, you will go through months of chaotic wedding preparations.

After the marriage is over, you will ONLY want to put up your feet and relax.

But sometimes a customized Europe tour package which includes visiting 4-5 countries can get hectic

Either way, once the destination is identified, you must negotiate a honeymoon package with a resort.

Once that’s done, just build your honeymoon itinerary with husband (or wife) and wait for your honeymoon dates to arrive.

Yes, European honeymoons are that simple!

Best European honeymoons

Identifying the location of your European honeymoon is a critical part of planning your honeymoon.

That’s why our list of top ten European cities for a romantic honeymoon have been compiled based on factors such as couple-friendliness, light-on-the-pocket tourist attractions, romantic dining options, couple-friendly accommodation and activities the newly-weds can do together.

Florence, Italy

It is believed and often said that if you can only visit one European country, it should be Italy.

Florence in Italy is an amazing European honeymoon destination because it offers warm people, good food, fine art, outstanding tourist attractions and above all nominal pricing.

Florence is one of the most touristy places in the world, and aren’t we all tourists?

Imagine being able to walk the same streets as Michelangelo and examine the artwork of Leonardo Da Vinci.

Not to mention the Tuscan wine, gelato and great pizzas.

Being the Renaissance capital a honeymoon in Florence will offer you attractions that are beautiful and artsy.

You can start with the works hung in Uffizi and the Galleria dell’Accademia to the architecture of the Duomo and the Palazzo Pitti.

Hold your partner’s hands and walk through the Boboli Gardens, continue holding hands and walk along river Arno.

Don’t miss the sunrise and sunset in Florence – they are amazing.

When you get bored of Florence you can always hop across to the nearby smaller town call Siena.

• Piazza della Signoria
• Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore)
• Piazzale Michelangelo

For an affordable honeymoon in Florence we suggest a visit in late fall or winter – the room rates will be lower and it won’t be crowded.

The temperatures range in the mid-30s Fahrenheit and it could get a little sweaty, but that’s the price one pays for making this amazing city your honeymoon destination.

Traveling to Florence during this low-cost season has one drawback – you can’t witness art festivals, open-air dining and the Italian sunshine.

If these are important for your, we suggest you plan your European honeymoon in the months of May and September

Vienna, Austria

If you both are classical music fans or love history a honeymoon in Vienna , Austria, will be pure bliss for you and your partner.

Possibly the most cultural city in the whole of Europe, Vienna is home to both Mozart and Beethoven.

Vienna also offers an amazing natural setting for you to kick-start your married life.

While you are there, you may also want to check out their popular coffeehouses and Austrian wines.

In this honeymoon city, you can also visit a ball and waltz your way into your partner’s heart. Check out this list of the best balls in Vienna .

Spend peaceful time at the riverside restaurants or rent a boat and get into the Old Danube.

Each Sunday morning Vienna Boys Choir performs at the Hofburg Chapel, and we suggest you pay them a visit.

If you both love Opera, a visit to Baroque opera house becomes a necessity.

For a nominal charge, you can rent a cycle and go around the city – being a small compact city you will be able to get across in less than 30 minutes. Find out the best things to do in Vienna .

• St. Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom)
• Museum of Fine Arts (Kunsthistorisches Museum)
• Schonbrunn Palace
• Belvedere Palace
• Spanish Riding School
• Albertina Museum

The cheapest time to plan your honeymoon in Vienna is in the months of April and May or September and October.

The mild weather in spring and fall ensures the crowd is less and the accommodation rates are minimum.

The months of June, July and August are peak summer months when the hotel rates go up and booking your all inclusive European honeymoon package during this period will only increase the price.

December is also a wrong choice for a budget honeymoon because tourists from other European countries start flocking in for a Viennese-style Christmas.

Corfu, Greece

If you love nature you will prefer to honeymoon in this Greek island called Corfu.

Beautiful crystal clear waters surround the island while the land itself is lush green thanks to over two million olive trees.

In short, for nature-loving couples Corfu is an affordable honeymoon in paradise.

This town offers one of the finest beaches in Greece and ends up being one of the best getaways for recently married folks.

Corfu is one of the best European honeymoon destination for those who prefer to relax.

Whenever you get bored of just lying down in the beach next to your partner you can head out to historical attractions – Byzantine churches, Venetian fortresses, palaces, museums etc.

To top it, there is the lively Corfu nightlife which can’t be ignored.

This Greek island also offers a huge of selection of restaurants in which to enjoy both local and international cuisine and wine.

• Glyfada Beach
• Old Fortress (Palaio Frourio)
• Archaeological Museum of Corfu

You are most likely to get nominal rates on your all inclusive honeymoon package for Corfu if you visit in the shoulder season – April to May and September to November.

Winter months in Corfu are also cheap but then low temperatures make swimming difficult and what is a beach vacation without a dip.

Rome, Italy

Known as the city of seven hills, Rome can easily charm lovelorn couples. No wonder newlyweds from all over the World kick start their married life from the Italian capital.

If you love history you can’t go wrong with Rome – it is full of free or not so costly attractions for honeymooners.

With stunning art and monuments all over the city and Italian cuisine ready to be lapped up at every street corner, Rome is a feast for the senses. 

It isn’t without reason that Trevi Fountain figures in the itinerary of all European honeymoon packages.

If you haven’t added it in your itinerary yet please do so. Romantic couples drop in a coin in the Trevi fountain to get the newlyweds’ good luck.

There are lots of churches to visit, numerous attractions such as the Colosseum, Pantheon, Roman Forum, Spanish Steps, and Piazza Navona all of which have vivid stories behind them. Find out the best things to do in Rome

Once you are done with the city, you can head just outside of the city for some beach experience.

Some of the best beaches nearby are – Santa Marinella Beach, Sperlonga Beach and Ostia Lido Beach.

• Pompeii Ruins
• Vatican Museum
• Sistine Chapel

• Capitoline Museum
• Borghese Gallery
• Castel Sant Angelo
• Roman Forum
• St. Peter’s Basilica
• Catacombs of Rome

During these months both the accommodation costs as well as the flight tickets are lower than usual.

Just that you may need a warm coat during these months.

If you want to avoid the peak season but don’t mind the heat you can opt for the period from May to September to plan your post-marriage getaway.

Prague, Czech Republic

If you love history, picturesque architectural landmarks and beer you will fall in love with this European city.

In Prague, the hotels are romantic, wining and dining is exquisite, the landmarks are breathtaking, the palaces are amazing and to top it all the neighborhoods are safe.

What more can one expect from a romantic European honeymoon destination?

Besides all this, thanks to the affordable accommodation and low dining costs, a honeymoon in Prague can be well within your budget.

Did you know that Prague is the only city in the world that has a special day for lovers?

If you are in Prague on May Day, kiss your spouse in front of the statue of romantic poet Karel Macha to seal your partnership for eternity.

If you love walking with your partner hand-in-hand, stroll down the narrow cobbled lanes in the Old Town (Stare Mesta) and Lesser Town (Mala Strana) districts.

This European city is so romantic that no matter which month of the year you visit, you’ll find the spirit of love at every corner.

If you do opt for this city as your honeymoon destination in Europe, we recommend at least one vintage car ride. Read more about the best things to do in Prague

• Jewish Quarter Prague
• Prague Castle
• Terezin Camp
• Black Light Theater
• Charles Bridge (Karluv most)

For an affordable honeymoon in Prague, it is best to visit during spring and early fall when the weather is mild and crowd is less – that is the months of March, April, May, and June.

During winter, the accommodation and flight rates are reduced drastically due to a huge dip in tourist influx.

If you don’t mind the cold, the November, January and February are also good months for a cheap honeymoon in Prague.

The month of December attracts tourists who want to celebrate Christmas.

1. Alchymist Grand Hotel & Spa 2. Four Seasons Hotel Prague 3. Aria Hotel Prague

Sicily, Italy

Sicily is a balmy, laid-back European honeymoon destination with the much sought-after Italian mentality towards life.

Add to this the Italian cuisine and cheap accommodation costs and this triangular island at the toe of Italy’s boot turns into an affordable European honeymoon destination.

In this island, you will experience amalgamation of the cultures of ancient Greeks, Romans, Normans and Moors which gives it the edge over a lot of other honeymoon destinations in Europe.

The biggest draw in Sicily are its beaches, so factor in lots of idle hours on the sand with your newly-wedded spouse.

For the best beach experience for couples visit the ones in North and North-West coasts.

Once the beaches are done, check out some of the finest ruins in the region – the Valley of the Temples and the Segesta Temple etc.

If you are a physically active couple, plan a trek on Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano.

For Sicilian nightlife, just walk into any of the beachside clubs or up the ante by visiting Teatro Massimo, the largest opera house in Italy.

• San Vito lo Capo
• Monreale Duomo

To cut down on your flight and hotel bills you must plan your European honeymoon to Sicily in the months of July and August.

During these months, the weather isn’t so bad but because of fewer number of tourists coming in, the prices drop.

The hotel and resort rates go down further in winter, but then the temperature is so low that it becomes difficult to swim in the sea.

We doubt you would want a honeymoon where you can’t dip your feet.

1. Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo 2. San Domenico Palace Hotel 3. Hotel Villa Athena

Madrid, Spain

Madrid is giving a tough fight to Barcelona for the most romantic city in Spain tag.

With its palaces, rose-filled parks, café-lined streets and vibrant people who always seem to be awake, Madrid is one of the most romantic European honeymoon destination.

Walking around the streets of Madrid, soaking up the gorgeous Spanish architecture makes one want to get married to the spouse once again!

The most romantic part of Madrid is in the city center – the sprawling 3.00-acre El Retiro, home to glass palaces, a lake with rowboats and the most romantic of rose gardens.

A visit to Madrid’s three main museums is a must – Museo del Prado, Spain’s national art museum, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, home to Europe’s largest private art collection and Museo Reina Sofía.

After the museums are done, you and your partner can hold hands and watch a Flamenco show or a soccer game – the call is yours.

Tickets for these shows and games are low, so they won’t dent your budget.

Do add the flea market “Mercado de Motores” to your Milan honeymoon itinerary. Read more about the best things to do in Madrid

• Royal Palace of Madrid
• Santiago Bernabeu Stadium
• Prado Museum
• Reina Sofia Museum
• Thyssen Museum
• Retiro Park (Parque del Retiro)

Visiting Madrid during winter – December, January, February – will work out the cheapest for you because the resorts and flights reduce their rates during this period.

But please be aware that Madrid becomes rather listless during the winters.

The next best time to visit Madrid both in terms of weather and low costs are the autumn months of September, October, November and the spring months of March, April and May.

The peak season, which you must avoid if you are targeting a low-cost honeymoon is during the months of June, July and August.

Cannes, France

Cannes is a resort town on the French Riviera and is all about exclusivity.

The International Film Festival, which is conducted here every year in May, has exposed this beautiful town to rest of the World and made it a popular honeymoon place in Europe.

Two characteristics of Cannes keep attracting newly-weds to the city every day – it’s warm, sunny climate and picturesque position between the Estérel hills and the Mediterranean Sea.

When in the town of Cannes, resting becomes your favorite activity. This town is more about chilling out with your partner and less about seeing places.

However, as is with most European cities there are a few museums and architectural marvels for you to enjoy.

You can also take a stroll along La Croisette, the fashionable promenade that runs along the seashore.

Do this walk twice – once in the morning to check out designer boutiques and once at night for the artsy entertainment.

• La Croisette
• Iles de Lerins
• Rue Meynadier

Since fewer people are buying them, the cost of flight tickets to Cannes reduces during winter and the hotels also move to their bargain prices.

If you don’t like holidaying in winter, for a nominal budget you can still book your Cannes honeymoon in Spring.

Lisbon, Portugal

Portugal’s capital has always been overlooked in favor of other romantic European cities.

However, the city of Lisbon has been attracting a lot of newly married couples lately.

Lisbon is not only incredibly romantic but also one of the most nominally priced tourist cities in Europe.

Romance and affordability – what more does one need for a budget honeymoon in Europe?

Perched atop seven hills, Lisbon specializes in lulling couples by its laid-back charm.

When in Lisbon you can’t escape its ornate architecture and the tradition of Fado music.

Hold hands of your partner as you stroll up and down the tiny streets of the old Alfama.

Plan lots of day trips to the nearby surrounding country and beachside towns – and one of these day trips must be to Sintara.

Check out the St. George’s Castle, one of the oldest castles around, dating back to 2nd century BC.

Summer is the wrong time to visit Lisbon. Instead, for a low-priced honeymoon, you should plan it during the months of March, April, May or September and October.

During these months, the weather is still warm, but the resorts and hotels have reduced their rates.

More importantly, the crowds have gone – so it will just be you and your newly wedded partner.

1. Olissippo Lapa Palace 2. Myriad by SANA Hotels 3. Altis Belém Hotel & Spa

Seville, Spain

All couples who holiday in Seville fall in love with the city.

Seville proves itself as a Spanish city clinging on to its past – full of bull-fights, flamenco, tapas, and Don Juan.

Add to it, the cozy little squares of the downtown, to-die-for sunsets at Guadalquivir River, and the narrow paved streets of Barrio de Santa Cruz and Seville ends up being one of the most romantic honeymoon destinations in Europe.

In short Seville’s centuries-old neighborhoods are just the perfect setting for an affordable honeymoon.

Flamenco music is all romance, so make sure you witness at least one show.

Once that’s done, take a horse carriage ride in Plaza de España and get down at regular intervals to take photographs and create memories.

Two other romantic activities popular with lovebirds is the mesmerizing boat ride in Guadalquivir river and a visit to the Triana´s Bridge.

• Real Alcázar
• Parque de María Luisa
• Catedral de Sevilla and La Giralda

From both a cost of accommodation and from the weather perspective the best time to visit Seville is in the months of March, April and May.

Summer hasn’t peaked so the tourists haven’t started coming in yet, and the hotels and resorts have nominal pricing.

During summer, the temperatures in Seville often exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit but that doesn’t stop the tourists from marching in.

Planning a honeymoon in Seville during the winter months is also a cheaper option but it is not as much fun because the Sevillanos spend most of their wintertime indoors.

✈️ Now, before you set out your door en route to the airport, be sure to check out these Essential Tips for Traveling to Europe for the First Time ! Even if it’s not your first trip to the continent, you’re likely to find some helpful tips for your next go-around.

✈️1. London & Paris: 2-Week Europe Itinerary

This combination makes for a fantastic Eastern Europe itinerary! With so much to see and do in both, you’ll want at least a few days in each to explore the nooks and crannies of these gorgeous cities.

This trip can be shortened to fit within one week, but keep in mind these are two of the largest cities in Europe.

They have a lot of incredible sites and activities to offer that you won’t want to miss out on, not to mention you’ll need some time to sit back and enjoy a cup of tea (or a glass of wine) and a freshly baked croissant!

Day 1 : Arrive in London Day 2 : Big Ben, the Tower of London, the London Eye Day 3 : Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard Day 4 : Walking Tour of the City Day 5 : Harry Potter tour Day 6 : Train to Paris: Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe Day 7 : Les Champs-Élysées and the Notre Dame Day 8 : Museums: Orsay and Louvre Day 9 : Explore some neighborhoods: Montmartre and Le Marais Day 10 : Day Trip to the Palace of Versailles Day 11 : Picnic in the Luxembourg Gardens Day 12 : Get lost in the Latin Quarter Day 13 : Paris Catacombs and catch a show at Le Moulin Rouge Day 14 : Return home

With 20 arrondissements in Paris and over 600 square miles in London, it’s safe to say the possibilities are endless when designing a trip to these cities. But, you really can’t go wrong!

Each day can be customized to fit your goals. Looking to relax by the Seine and have a picnic? Do it. Not really into shopping? Skip the Champs-Élysées and spend time listening to the singing bells of the Notre Dame Cathedral.

In London, opt to check out the local art scene and make your way through its numerous museums.

Looking for a day trip from London? Windsor Castle, Bath, and Stonehenge are most popular for visitors looking to escape the chaos of the city for a day, and with their incredible cultural heritage and stunning architecture, there’s no wondering why.

London and Paris offer fantastic opportunities to immerse yourself in Europe while avoiding complex itineraries and long-haul journies between destinations. Pair them together for a classic 2 week Europe trip full of beauty, romance, and charm.

✈️2. Amsterdam, Bruges & Luxembourg City: 2-Week Europe Itinerary

Medieval architecture, sweeping canals, and charming squares await in these three cities seemingly based on a storybook. Evidently frozen in time, the magic of these cities can be felt by even the most jaded of travelers, and surely won’t disappoint your inner child!

Stroll the windy, cobblestoned alleyways and take a boat ride through the web of canals in Amsterdam and Bruges, but find yourself watching the changing of the guard and getting lost in the Casemates du Bock of Luxembourg City.

These cities offer everything from traditional design to modern cafés and boutiques and represent the epitome of European travel.

Day 1 : Arrive in Amsterdam Day 2 : Bloemenmarkt & Canal Boat Ride Day 3 : Red Light District (if it’s your style) & Jordaan neighborhoods Day 4 : Van Gogh Museum & Anne Frank House Day 5 : Day Trip to Zaanse Schans Day 6 : Optional Day in Brussels & train to Bruges Day 7 : Train to Bruges Day 8 : Canal Boat Ride & Belfry of Bruges Day 9 : Rozenhoedkaai (Quay of the Rosary) & Market Square Day 10 : Train to Luxembourg City Day 11 : Casemates du Bock & the Grund Day 12 : Walking tour of the Old Town Day 13 : Day Trip to the Mullerthal Trail Day 14 : Return home

Now, you’re probably wondering why I’ve chosen Bruges over Brussels… and the answer is simple. I’m all about getting out of the basic tourist spots (Bruges is still very touristy, but has far more medieval character and beauty to it), and going beyond the first train stop in a new country.

Yes, while traveling from Amsterdam to Bruges, you will most likely be stopping in Brussels. I’m not going to tell you not to get off the train, but I will say that when debating between Bruges vs Brussels , I can honestly say that most people choose Bruges over Brussels.

My best suggestion is to add a day to your trip so you have time to explore both.

Luxembourg City may be small, but it certainly packs a punch. Often overlooked by travelers, it is a true gem that has so much to explore.

Have some extra time? Head up north to the Mullerthal Region of Luxembourg where you’ll find dreamy, moss-covered forests scattered with graceful waterfalls and filled with tall trees (it reminds me of the forests depicted in The Hobbit films!)

These cities have so much to offer and this is one of my personal favorite European itineraries on this list… just remember to bring a camera and good walking shoes.

✈️3. Chamonix, Courmayeur & The Matterhorn (Zermatt): 2-Week Europe Itinerary

Fellow hikers and adventure seekers, this is the trip for you! Surrounded by the breathtaking Mont Blanc Range and the various snow-capped peaks of the Alps, there is no end in sight to hiking trails of all difficulty levels and spectacular landscapes worthy of a thousand photos.

Even if you aren’t someone who enjoys a good hike, there are plenty of options to take cable cars up these majestic mountain ranges to enjoy the stunning scenery. Trust me, your pictures won’t do your experience justice.

Coming from someone who jumped off the Mont Blanc Range (with a paraglide strapped to me!), the sights are truly unparalleled, and you won’t believe you ever even debated the option of skipping it.

So, here is my best 2-week Europe itinerary for exploring this region to the fullest, just be sure to bring a jacket (yes, even in summer) if you plan on making your way up to the top of these mountains!

Day 1 : Arrive in Chamonix, France Day 2 : The Montenvers Train to Restaurant le Panoramique Day 3 : Aiguille du Midi Cable Car Day 4 : Adventure Activities (Hiking, Paragliding, or Snow Sports) Day 5 : Explore th e c harming Alps town Day 6 : Train to Courmayeur Day 7 : Skyway Monte Bianco Cable Car Day 8 : Explore the quaint villages of the Aosta Valley (Dolonne, La Saxe, Entrèves and Villair) Day 9 : White Water Rafting Day 10 : Train to Zermatt Day 11 : The Gornergrat Railway (Europe’s highest mountain railroad) Day 12 : The Matterhorn (learn about it here ) Day 13 : Ski Day Day 14 : Return home

Chamonix , Courmayeur, and Zermatt not only provide stunning scenery at altitude but also at the ground level in the center of lovely villages and neighborhoods. Nestled between sections of the magnificent Alps, these towns provide a cozy, small-town feel you don’t get in other places in Europe.

Being encircled by the striking mountains is both awe-inspiring and rejuvenating and should be experienced by travelers of all types! Do yourself a favor, and head to the French, Swiss, and Italian Alps on your next European getaway.

✈️ When it comes to bucket list experiences, Chamonix often tops the list for Europe. If it’s already caught your eye, be sure to check out this Ultimate Europe Bucket List: 101 Experiences to Have in Europe as well!

✈️4. Barcelona & The French Riviera: 2-Week Europe Itinerary

As one of my personal favorite destinations in all of Europe, Barcelona is a true gem. Boasting sweeping coastlines and a vibrant art scene, it can easily be combined with the nearby French Riviera for the ultimate beach vacation.

If this magical city is high on your European bucket list, be sure to check out my list of the Best Things To Do in Barcelona at Night !

Combined with the magic of the French Riviera, beachbums will have their fill of endless crystal clear waters, and soft, white-sand beaches to get between their toes!

This is the ultimate vacation for those looking to relax and unwind in the Mediterranean with a little European flair.

Day 1 : Arrive in Barcelona Day 2 : Antoni Gaudi’s Park Güell and Walking Tour Day 3 : Beach day Day 4 : Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, El Born, Gràcia, and El Raval Day 5 : Train to Dramont Day 6 : Beach day in Dramont & stroll the Old Town Day 7 : Day trip to one of the Cote d’Azur islands Day 8 : Beach day in Nice & explore the Promenade des Anglais Day 9 : Day Trip to Cannes and walk the Boulevard de la Croisette Day 10 : Optional beach day or hiking day Day 11 : Day Trip to Antibes Day 12 : Day Trip to Monaco Municipality Day 13 : Optional beach day or hiking day Day 14 : Return home

With some of the best beaches in not only Europe but the world, the French Riviera should not be overlooked by anyone, regardless if you are someone who could spend 10 hours or barely last 10 minutes on a beach.

The panoramic scenery is simply breathtaking and the region boasts exciting activities, too.

Windsurfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, hiking, and snorkeling are just a few activities visitors can enjoy during their stay. Not to mention the coveted secret gems tucked between rock formations all around the region that are filled with clear waters, tropical fish, and few tourists.

While Barcelona and the French Riviera are situated an approximately 9-hour train ride from each other with line switches, your efforts will be well rewarded.

Aim to set aside a minimum of 10 days for this trip, but preferably 2 weeks to ensure you have ample time to rejuvenate on the warm, Mediterranean beaches without feeling rushed.

✈️5. The Best of Italy: 2 Week Europe Itinerary by Train

Italy is one of the most popular destinations on any 2 week Europe trip and for good reason! With everything from its fresh cuisine, Mediterranean beaches, cliffside villages, snowy mountains, and historical cities there’s something for everyone.

While it’s easy to spend a month in Italy and not go down the same street twice, not everyone has that kind of time (but if you do… go for it!)

This itinerary is designed for slightly longer than 2 weeks because less time won’t allow you to see all the major sites as well as relax and enjoy your time on the beaches and really explore the towns.

Of course, you can always cut some sites and activities out, but be sure to choose wisely. This is my best Italian itinerary for those looking to get lost in the birthplace of their family’s heritage, or simply live like a local and eat delicious food. Mangia!

Day 1 : Arrive in Milan Day 2 : Duomo di Milano Cathedral & strolling the streets Day 3 : Train to Venice & boat ride along the Grand Canal Day 4 : St. Mark’s Square & The Bridge of Sighs & Rialto Bridge Day 5 : Train to Cinque Terre Day 6 : Roam the fishing village & Cinque Terre hike Day 7 : Beach day Day 8 : Train to Florence & Climb the Steps to Duomo overlooking the city Day 9 : Giotto’s Campanile & Palazzo Vecchio & Museums Day 10 : Train to Rome & the Colosseum (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) Day 11 : Train to Naples for the best pizza in Italy Day 12 : Rent a boat or take a day tour to Capri Day 13 : Train to Positano (Amalfi Coast) & explore the city Day 14 : Positano Beach Day 15 : Train to Bari & explore the old town Day 16 : Train back to Rome & return home

Italy often receives high recognition for one of the most popular destinations in Europe, and it definitely deserves it. There truly is something for everyone and with their convenient train system, there’s no end to the itinerary possibilities.

✔️ Pro Tip: Keep in mind that the trains can change sporadically so be sure to arrive early to ensure you’re at the right departure gate!

✈️6. Iceland’s Ring Road : 2-Week Europe Itinerary

Iceland’s infamous Ring Road is well known for its awe-inspiring sites and magical landscapes. To really discover the best this loop has to offer, opt to rent a car and drive at your own pace. This way, you’ll be able to allow yourself ample time at each stop and not be on a tour bus’ schedule.

Renting a car and planning a road trip can have its fair share of frustrations, so if you would enjoy some assistance with your bookings, transfers, and ensuring you’re going to see the best the area has to offer, check out Nordic Visitor’s Self Drive Tours !

They have local travel experts handpick your accommodations, offer free transportation from the airport, set up your Enterprise car rental, and create a comprehensive itinerary designed specifically for you.

While you can technically complete Iceland’s Ring Road in about 7-10 days, we suggest spending 2 full weeks. This will not only allow you to take your time in each place, but it will also increase your chances of spotting wildlife and the northern lights!

Day 1 : Arrive in Iceland & Blue Lagoon Day 2 : Snaefellsnes Peninsula and National Park Day 3 : Snaefellsnes Peninsula and National Park Day 4 : Goðafoss Waterfall in Northern Iceland Day 5 : Whale Watching in Húsavík Day 6 : Ásbyrgi Canyon Hike Day 7 : Dettifoss and Selfoss Waterfalls & Lake Myvatn Day 8 : Eastern Iceland Fjords and Fishing Villages Day 9 : Explore the local Fishing Villages Day 10 : Skógafoss, Fjaðrárgljúfur, and the Black Waterfall Day 11 : First Half of the G olden Circle Day 12 : Second Half of the G olden Circle Day 13 : Day Trip to Vik Day 14 : Reykjavík & Return Home

For optimal time in each major site on this itinerary, I highly recommend setting aside at least 12 days to complete this trip. It can be done in 7 days, but you’ll have less time at each location, and may end up feeling rushed or missing out on some exciting opportunities Iceland has to offer!

This trip can also be done in either direction: clockwise or counterclockwise. But, if you’re someone who likes to leave the best parts of a trip until the end, I suggest starting in Reykjavík and heading clockwise around the loop (how it is laid out above).

This saves some of the most beautiful parts of the country for last which can be a great way to end your Icelandic vacation.

Both a popular tourist destination and secluded island, Iceland makes for a magical 2 week Europe itinerary with its countless, giant waterfalls, black sand beaches, striking mountains, and windswept coastlines.

Be sure to pack warm layers no matter what season you plan on traveling and always, always, always pack a bathing suit… there are dozens of gorgeous hot springs all over the island!

✔️ Pro Tip: If you plan on visiting in winter, be sure to rent a vehicle with high-quality snow tires and chains. Service can be limited and food and gas stops can be few and far between. Ensure your vehicle comes with 24/7 roadside assistance and always carry extra blankets, food, and water in the vehicle.

✈️7. Oslo, Stockholm & Copenhagen: 2-Week Europe Itinerary

These cities are some of the most vibrant (both culturally and literally) in all of Europe! Walk the colorful streets along Nyhavn harbor in Copenhagen , swim in the Baltic Sea surrounding Stockholm, or take in the picturesque scenery from the Bygdøy Peninsula in Oslo.

Sweden, Norway, and Denmark are a part of the Schengen Area of Europe which signifies a zone of countries involved in the protection of freedom of movement of people and have similar laws regarding external borders and fair judicial systems.

These countries boast a high quality of life and low criminal ratings, making them fantastic destinations for everyone! You can expect to meet friendly, hospitable people, and experience a relaxed, positive vibe while exploring the region.

For families traveling with kids to older couples and everyone in between, Oslo, Stockholm, and Copenhagen make for the perfect 2 weeks Europe itinerary!

Day 1 : Arrive in Oslo Day 2 : Explore the City Day 3 : Bygdøy Peninsula & Museums Day 4 : Akershus Fortress & the Royal Palace & Mathallen Food Hall Day 5 : Oslo Fjords Tours Day 6 : Fly (or take a train) to Stockholm & Gamla Stan Old Town Day 7 : Explore the City Day 8 : Swim in the Baltic Sea & Canal Boat Tour on the Royal Canals Day 9 : Day trip to Ørland Day 10 : Fly (or take a train) to Copenhagen Day 11 : Strøget & The Old City Day 12 : Nyhavn Harbor Day 13 : Rosenborg Castle & Christiansborg Palace Day 14 : Return Home

Oslo sits in a network of fjords, all offering incredible views of the surrounding landscapes and dramatic vistas, so it would be silly not to take advantage of a boat ride through these fjords for a spectacular vantage point.

Bookings can be made through the highly rated company, Fjord Tours , several months in advance here !

As for Stockholm, be prepared to witness extremely fine, white sand beaches and picturesque harbors throughout your stay. Some of my family’s heritage goes back to the municipality of Ørland , an island connected by a striking bridge with beautiful gardens, stunning beaches, and unique history.

Easily reached in under 2 hours by car, this island makes for a great day trip away from the more touristy city of Stockholm.

If you love to travel or often seek out those quintessential European towns, there’s a good chance you have seen at least a picture of the famous Nyhavn Harbor in Copenhagen.

Lined with colorful, cookie-cutter buildings and elegant schooners, this town is one of the most sought after in all of Europe. Be sure to stroll the harbor at night for the ultimate romantic experience!

✈️8. Munich, Prague, & Vienna: 15 Days Europe Tour Itinerary

These popular tourist destinations are well known across Central Europe for their lovely squares, medieval architecture, and pedestrian-only cobblestoned streets. But, that’s not all!

Full of traditional European charm and romantic ambiance, there’s no wonder why this is one of the most popular European itineraries among tourists.

For the ultimate experience, I highly recommend traveling during the off-season in September, during Germany’s world-renowned Oktoberfest festival. Traditional German activities combine with endless food and brews, authentic lederhosens, and dancing!

You will also get to experience lower accommodation and flight costs ( bonus! ) during this time of year.

Head to Germany, Czech Republic, and Austria to immerse yourself in the classic charm of old-world Europe while diving deep into the contemporary lifestyles of modern Europeans.

Day 1 : Arrive in Munich Day 2 : Marienplatz Square Day 3 : Oktoberfest (if visiting in September, highly recommended!) Day 4 : Day Trip to Nymphenburg Palace Day 5 : Train to Prague Day 6 : Wenceslas Square & Old Town Square & Astronomical Clock Day 7 : Charles Bridge & The Lesser Town & Prague Castle Day 8 : Lennon Wall and St. Vitus Cathedral Day 9 : Train to Vienna Day 10 : The Hofburg & Belvedere Palace Day 11 : Catch a Showing at the Vienna State Opera House Day 12 : Day Trip to Schönbrunn Palace Day 13 : Hundertwasser House, Austrian Gallery Belvedere, and Austrian National Library Day 14 : Travel west to Salzburg Day 15 : Return home

For the most convenient method of travel among these countries, I highly suggest using the Eurail . With frequent trains between dozens of European cities daily, there’s no stressing about how to get from one destination to the next, but just be sure to book your train tickets as soon as they become available. This typically occurs between 60-120 days prior to your travel dates.

Munich , Prague , and Vienna are also extremely walkable, leaving no reason to rent a car.

Have more time for travel? Consider tacking on other popular destinations including České Budějovice in the Czech Republic and Salzburg in Austria (home to famous composer Wolfgang Mozart).

If you’re a fan of sophisticated music and shows, be sure to get tickets to a play at the Vienna State Opera House… one of the most paramount opera houses in the entire world!

✈️9. Athens & The Greek Islands: Europe Itinerary 3 Weeks

There is so much more to Greece than just delicious feta cheese (yes, it is incredible) and beautiful sunsets. Think whitewashed villages painted with deep blue rooftops, rugged coastlines, white and black sand beaches, and marvelous ancient ruins.

Also, the entirety of the islands are covered in vibrant, blooming wildflowers adding supreme brightness to the country. So, if you have time for a 21 days in Europe itinerary, you won’t regret spending it in Greece!

Even if you aren’t a beachbum, this itinerary has something for everyone. Are half-day hiking treks more your style? Check out Mount Ida on the island of Crete or Mount Zeus on Naxos (supposedly Zeus’ birthplace) for sensational views of the rugged coastlines and crystal clear, blue waters of the Meditteranean.

In Greece, you can also expect to find incredible cuisine boasting fresh, local ingredients grown on the islands. Fish, grilled meats, olives, taramasalata, and other dips are highly popular among both locals and visitors.

If you aren’t really interested in most of these foods, don’t fret, they also have some options more geared for tourists.

Ferries frequent between islands all over Greece, so be sure to check out some of the other islands available on your route, and if you have time, spend a day there!

Each island is unique in both design, scenery, and activities, so be sure to do a little bit of research if the islands I have mentioned below don’t seem to excite you. But, to be honest, I truly believe anyone could enjoy themselves on this Greece itinerary!

This Europe itinerary has been created for 3 weeks since we believe that is how long you’ll need to get a really good feel for each island’s unique characteristics. If you only have 2 weeks, simply remove a couple of the islands that are on the itinerary below.

Day 1 : Arrive in Athens Day 2 : The Parthenon & The Acropolis Day 3 : Ferry to Mykonos Day 4 : Delos Ancient Greek Ruins & Little Venice Day 5 : Beach Day (highly recommend Ftelia Beach & Elia Beach) Day 6 : Ferry to Naxos Day 7 : Apollo Temple & The Old Town Day 8 : Beach Day (highly recommend Plaka Beach & Mikri Vigla Beach & Kato Koufonis i) Day 9 : Ferry to Santorini (also known as Thera) Day 10 : Akrotiri Archaeological Site & Watch the Sunset on Oia Day 11 : Akrotiri Lighthouse & Explore Fira (the capital) Day 12 : Visit the Village of Pyrgos Day 13 : Beach Day Day 14 : Day Trip to Anafi Island Day 15 : Beach Day (highly recommend Kamari and the black sand beach of Perissa) Day 16 : Ferry to Crete Day 17 : Elafonisi Isle Day 18 : Rocca a Mare Fortress & Heraklion Day 19 : Beach Day (highly recommend Vai Beach) Day 20 : Beach Day (highly recommend Preveli Beach) Day 21 : Ferry back to Athens & Return Home

Whether you want to spend your Greek Island vacation basking in the sun on one of the hundreds of beaches and secret coves or you want to discover the truth behind the lost city of Atlantis at the Akrotiri Archaeological Site , this culturally extravagant country should have its very own 21 days in Europe itinerary.

Although it is often combined with a trip to Italy, I believe there is so much to do and see on the 6,000 islands of Greece (yes, you read that right) to give it the spotlight it deserves.

This trip can be shortened if you’re willing to pack more into your days, but be sure to factor in some time to relax and unwind, because Greece is one of the best places in the world to just sit back and enjoy the view.

✈️10. An Irish Road Trip: 2-Week Europe Itinerary

Rolling hills, scenic vistas squared off by stone wall boundaries, and sheep… so many sheep! Don’t let me forget to mention the gorgeous, rugged coastlines, vibrant shades of green, and endless pubs bustling with traditional Irish music that will make you dance the night away, I know I did!

Ireland is one of my favorite places in Europe and I highly suggest adding it to your 2 week Europe itinerary or creating an entire trip centered around this one country (like I did!)

Road trips are a great way to go at your own pace and really take the time to appreciate your surroundings and truly relax. Ireland is just the place for that.

Ireland is a destination filled with wonderful, hospitable people, beautiful scenery, and inspiring heritage that will entice you to keep coming back. On my next trip to Ireland, I’ll be road-tripping once again since I truly believe it is the best way to see the beauty of this country.

Day 1 : Arrive in Dublin Day 2 : Guinness Factory & The Temple Bar Day 3 : Drive to Kilkenny & Kilkenny Castle Day 4 : Drive to Cork & stroll Wild Atlantic Way Day 5 : Sightseeing in Cork & Blarney Stone Day 6 : Drive to Killarney – Sightseeing & Ross Castle Day 7 : Killarney National Park Day 8 : Drive to Dingle on the Dingle Peninsula Day 9 : Slea Head Drive up to Adare – short pitstop on route to Limerick Day 10 : King John’s Castle & The Hunt Museum Day 11 : Drive to Cliffs of Moher & stay in Doolin Day 12 : Pub crawling through Doolin Day 13 : Drive to Galway & Trad On The Prom (Traditional Irish music and dance show) Day 14 : Drive to Shannon airport and return home

Ireland always leaves a lasting impression on my heart. There truly is nowhere like it in the world that makes you feel so “at home” while overseas!

From the people to the music and the breathtaking scenery, not to mention the endless charming pubs overflowing with refreshing brews, Ireland is one of my favorite places in the world and should have its very own 2 week Europe itinerary.

✈️11. The Best of Portugal : 2 Week Europe Itinerary for Families

Ever had a pastel de nata (traditional Portuguese egg custard tart) while strolling the windy streets of Lisbon? If not, it will change your life! In Lisbon , you’ll find a sea of red clay roofs perched on a hilltop above the ocean.

In Porto , vibrant buildings rest side by side on a harbor, surrounded by iconic bridges and large street markets.

Then, there’s the Algarves … an entirely different world set on the far south of the country.

The southern coast of Portugal boasts stunning beaches enclosed by intricate cliffs and vibrant wildflowers. If you’re up for a little swimming (or kayaking!), you can find secluded beaches hidden away by the sea that reveal themselves with the outgoing tide.

The Algarves offer some of the most spectacular coastlines across the Mediterranean and Europe, so if you’re a true beachbum, you had better add them to your 2 weeks Europe itinerary!

The best part about Portugal is that it’s extremely family-friendly. From the beaches to the cities, it’s easy to get around, everything is relatively affordable, and there are tons of family-friendly hotel options everywhere you go.

Portugal not only offers a wide range of delectable foods but also boasts stunning artistry in the form of hand-painted and hand-crafted pottery. There is no end to the exciting opportunities waiting to be had in this beautiful region.

Ask yourself: what am I looking for? Beautiful beaches, windy, cobble-stoned streets, medieval history and architecture, luxurious cuisine, famous museums, mountains, traditional folk music?

What is it that makes you say “Yes! That’s what I want to do on my vacation” . Once you find your “wow” factor, you can start to narrow down which country or countries you want to visit.

I suggest making a list to help you keep track of the ones you especially want to visit, then crossing items off your list based on the following factors:

➡️ Step 2: How Much Time Do I Have to Travel in Europe?

Do you plan on traveling to Europe for a few days, a week, 2 weeks, a month, or more?

Knowing your timeline will really help you decide on how much of a region you can cover. Depending on your travel style (i.e. backpacker vs luxury), a few days to a week can usually only give you enough time to really discover a single country or a small region between countries.

If you have more than a week available, consider combining a couple of countries to get the most out of your trip! My itineraries above range from 10-18 days, but can be easily shortened by removing an activity or region.

The bottom line is you can squeeze as much or as little into your time as you want, but think about how you want to feel when you get home. Do you want to have seen a ton of amazing sites , but be tired ?

Or would you rather take your time and possibly see less, but feel rejuvenated on your return from vacation? Your answer to this should guide how much you try to fit into your time.

➡️ Step 3: Getting Around on Your 2-Week Europe Itinerary

Is it possible to do a 2 week Europe itinerary by train? Yes! Train travel is extremely popular across Europe and offers thousands of different route possibilities. So, don’t be so certain that flying will automatically be faster and easier (or cheaper!)

Dealing with airports can cause a lot of unwanted stress during a trip, so do a little research and see how far you are from your destination. If you’re already in Europe, train travel might be the better option. Not to mention it is far more scenic.

➡️ Step 4: Choosing Accommodations for Your 2-Week Europe Itinerary

Are you traveling to a big city like Paris or London, or to a remote island off the coast of Greece?

Depending on your destination, you’ll want to choose an accommodation that fits both your style and your needs. For me, I like to stay in unique places that offer something more special than a chain hotel can. I enjoy local bed & breakfasts, Airbnb’s , and cabins that bring me closer to the local beauty of a particular place.

When in Paris, I enjoyed staying in tall lofts that overlooked the city, but in Ireland, I opted for charming b&bs and cottages with fields of cows.

It’s all about getting immersed in the culture of a specific place and enjoying where you stay because if you don’t like where you’re staying, it can really put a damper on your trip (trust me!)

➡️ Step 5: Departure

So you have decided where you are going, how you are getting there, and your accommodations. Now, all you have to do is get ready for departure! Plan your ride to the airport or train station ahead of time and pack up all your travel documents and necessities.

I always suggest leaving a printed copy of your passport in your home country and one in your luggage in case it were to be lost or stolen. This way, you or a family member can help prove your citizenship and return home.

Also, print copies of your flight tickets, accommodations, and any train or bus tickets in case your phone gets wet or lost.

Departure is the most exciting part of a trip for me… just before you leave when the anticipation of experiencing a whole new world really sets in. Enjoy this time, because when you return, you’ll be itching to get back on another plane.

This is what we in the travel world call “the travel bug” , and once you’re hooked, you’ll never want to stop traveling.

Map for Planning Your 2-Week Europe Itinerary

You can use this map to start planning your route and to get an idea of where the countries that you may want to visit are located.

For example, while combining a trip to France with Spain would be both simple to plan and efficient, adding a trip to Romania with France may be a bit difficult.

Europe Itinerary 2 Weeks Budget

Depending on your travel style (budget vs luxury) , the season of travel, how many people you are traveling with and if any of them are dependents (i.e. children, in-laws, etc.), and your destinations, this will vary greatly.

Below I have provided a list of guidelines for average costs on budget, mid-range, and luxury travel during the peak season and shoulder season. Budgets will vary from country to country, so be sure to do individual research on each country that you plan on visiting.

➡️ Accommodations per night:

Budget : €10-€70 (single occupancy) Mid-Range : €80-€160 (double occupancy) Luxury : €180-€400+ (double occupancy)

➡️ Flights per person:

Shoulder Season (from the U.S.) : between €200-€500 Peak Season (from the U.S.) : between €500-€1,100

➡️ Food per person per day:

Breakfast: €2-8 Lunch: €5-15 Dinner: €10-35

FAQ: 2-Week Europe Itinerary

Is Europe Safe?

Yes and no. Just like every country in the world, each country within Europe is going to have its safe and not-so-safe areas. It’s impossible to generalize Europe as a whole as “safe” when anything can happen there just like anywhere else in the world.

If you are worried about feeling safe on your trip to Europe, do some research (but not too much!)

If you are heading to Berlin, Germany , then research some best practices for traveling around the area. Is it safe to walk around at night? Are there any streets or neighborhoods you should avoid?

All of that information can be easily found with a quick Google search. Do your best to not overdo it though since you’ll likely just end up making yourself more nervous.

Once you have a good idea about the more seedy areas of a destination, you’re all set. Do your best to avoid them on your trip then follow other basic precautions such as walking in groups, not trusting strangers, and only ordering rides through reputable companies (like Uber).

✔️ Pro Tip : If you research where you live, you’ll probably find equally unsettling results… but that doesn’t stop you from living there, does it? No. So, don’t let safety precautions about a new destination scare you!

When is the Best Time to Visit Europe?

Most people you ask this question to are going to say that the summer months between late May and August are the best time to visit Europe.

And while they would be correct in terms of weather and longer summer hours, they are forgetting to mention that this is also when you’re going to be surrounded by swarms of tourists.

What does this mean for you? Well, for starters, you can practically guarantee long wait times at restaurants, landmarks, and attractions each day of your vacation. I’m sure that the idea of standing in line for every part of your day doesn’t really appeal to your idea of “vacation”, right?

Additionally, this is also when prices skyrocket in terms of flights, accommodations, tours, and food. If you’re looking to visit Europe on a budget, then avoiding the summer months is key.

If you prefer fewer tourists in your pictures, shorter wait times, and want to spend less money, then I highly suggest visiting during the off-season months of April through May and September through October .

During these months, you’ll find incredible deals on flights, accommodations, and even tour groups, so you can live the luxury life in Europe without emptying your wallet!

How Many Days is Enough to Visit Europe?

1-2 weeks is usually enough time to visit Europe depending on what you want to do and see. But, if you’re honestly attempting to see all of the different regions of Europe, well… you’re going to need a lot more time than that!

For us, we found a 10-day European itinerary to be optimal. This amount of time typically allows travelers to explore at least a few different cities in several countries or travel to numerous locations in one specific country.

It allows provides enough time for both sightseeing and rest days, so you can return from your vacation feeling excited and refreshed.

Among the itineraries listed below, you’ll find schedules ranging from 10 days to 3 weeks. But, if you only have 7 days for your European itinerary you can easily transform one of my shorter itineraries into something that has been customized to fit your time needs.

Also, if you can finagle a 1 month Europe trip itinerary, then you can easily add on destinations or time to one of my other itineraries!

Is 2 Weeks Long Enough for Europe?

No, 2 weeks is not long enough to see all of Europe. But, it is long enough to see and do a lot in just a few countries in Europe!

Even though it doesn’t look like it on a map, Europe is huge. It would take somebody years to really see all of the best sites and do all of the best activities in each country in Europe.

In just 2 weeks, you’re going to be seriously limited on time. But, that’s okay! Instead of trying to squeeze too much into your itinerary, opt to choose just a few countries (or even just one country!) and do everything you want in those countries.

If you try to see and do too much, you may end up feeling rushed, overwhelmed, and disheartened when you realize how much stuff you’re going to miss out on.

For example, if you’re thinking of including France on your 2 week Europe itinerary, you wouldn’t go to just Paris and call it a trip. I mean, you could … but you’d be missing out on Normandy, the wine regions, the French Alps, the French Riviera… you get it.

Trust me when I say: “It’s far more valuable to see everything in one country than to see the bare minimum in five countries.”

So, while a 2-week Europe itinerary is not long enough to see and do everything on the continent, it is long enough to get a really good taste of what Europe has to offer!

How Many Countries Should I Visit in Europe in 2 Weeks?

Owing to the continent’s great public transportation system and small size in comparison to other continents, you can get around quite easily and efficiently in Europe.

But, every country has SO much to do and see, so it’s going to depend on where your interests lie.

If you are only interested in seeing the capital city in every country (definitely not recommended), then you could probably see between 8-10 countries during your 2 week Europe itinerary.

But, if you want time to relax, explore, and wander around a few different places, then between one and four countries is the sweet spot in our opinion .

This way, you have plenty of time to see all of the major sites in each place, and you don’t have to spend your entire vacation rushing from place to place.

Coming up with multi-week Europe itinerary ideas can be stressful, but if you stick to this general rule of thumb you can practically guarantee you’ll have a pleasant trip!

What is the Best Way to See Europe in 2 Weeks?

Unfortunately, even though Europe is far more compact than the U.S., Africa, Asia, or South America, it’s still very big and can’t be seen in just two weeks.

But, that doesn’t mean that you can’t get a really good taste for what Europe has to offer in that time! You simply need to be diligent in picking efficient routes and travel methods so you can get the most out of your 2 week Europe trip.

Over the years, we have found that the best way to get around Europe is to take advantage of their amazing public transportation system… the Eurail!

With thousands of routes to thousands of destinations, there really is no limit to where you can go with a Eurail pass. You can choose your pass based on your needs, so if you want one pass for just France for 10 days, you can book it!

If you want a monthly pass that allows you to go from country to country whenever you decide, you can do that too!

Europe’s train system is affordable, dependable, convenient, and very easy to use which is why most travelers take advantage of it.

I don’t recommend renting a car in Europe unless you plan on taking road trips to very specific towns and villages that aren’t accessible by train.

The roads in Europe, generally speaking, tend to be uneven, bumpy, covered in potholes, full of pedestrians, and made of broken cobblestones. Many European roads are also one-way and street signs aren’t always in English.

It’s far easier to take the train from place to place, then take day trips to smaller towns and villages and use a bike or the metro to get around the big cities.

How Should I Get Around Europe?

In our opinion, the best way to get around Europe is via train travel on the Eurail. Car rentals are also a great way to get around in Europe since they allow you to be completely on your own schedule and see the smaller, off-the-beaten-path villages and towns.

However, it really depends on the country (Ireland is a great country to do a road trip with a rental car!), but most of the time I would recommend just taking the train or flying between countries if you aren’t comfortable with a rental in a foreign country.

The European trains can be exceptionally scenic, but they aren’t always the most efficient. If you are traveling between countries with a big distance between them, it’s usually a more efficient option to fly.

If driving a car across Europe doesn’t scare you, then you also have the option of renting an RV or camper van and living in it while you travel! This can saves you tons of money on accommodations and eating out, so it’s a win-win if you have the time to drive everywhere.

✔️ Pro Tip : If you do plan on driving everywhere, keep in mind that you may need an international driver’s license depending on the countries you go to. Also, not all car rental companies allow you to bring rental cars over international borders, so you may need to rent multiple cars from multiple different agencies. If you plan on putting your car on a ferry to Europe so you can avoid this hassle, it’s going to cost you a very pretty penny…

Do I need a Visa to Go to Europe?

Depending on your citizenship, you may or may not need a Schengen Visa to enter the EU (European Union).

U.S. citizens do not need a visa to go to Europe. As a tourist, you are allowed to spend up to 90 days in 26 European countries visa-free. However, if you are a foreign national living in the U.S., you may or may not need a visa depending on your nationality.

Here is the list of countries that Americans can visit without a visa for up to 90 days.

There is a list of over 100 countries that will be required to obtain a Schengen Visa to enter the EU. You can take a look at the list here .

Is Europe Expensive?

In general, Europe is expensive. But, depending on where you decide to visit, it can actually be quite affordable!

Portugal, for example, offers some of the lowest rates on tourist accommodations, tours, attractions, and food across the continent. Switzerland, on the other hand, is continually listed in the top 3 list for most expensive countries in the world. Norway and Iceland aren’t far behind, either.

If you want to stay on a budget during your 2 week Europe itinerary, choose your destinations wisely.

Of course, not eating out at every meal and not doing every attraction you see will help immensely, but in the end, the destination is going to play a big role in how much money you spend overall.

Is $10,000 Enough for 2 Weeks in Europe?

$10,000 is absolutely enough for 2 weeks in Europe (depending on your travel style) . While Europe is known for some pricy destinations, $10,000 can indeed get you a comfortable and memorable two-week trip. It’s all about how you budget and plan.

That budget can cover your flights, accommodation, meals, transportation within Europe, and even some fun activities and souvenirs. You can save by staying in lesser-known hotels or bed & breakfasts instead of luxury resorts.

Eating at local markets and cafes rather than high-end restaurants can also give you a taste of authentic cuisine without breaking the bank. Don’t forget that some of the best experiences in Europe are free: exploring the cities, admiring architecture, and basking in the rich history.

I would even go as far as to say that $10,000 can be disproportionate to what you’ll need for a 2-week trip if you’re traveling solo or with one other person, since I’ve returned to Europe many times, each never exceeding $2,000 for 7+ days with my husband.

Of course, we’re light packers and usually stay in mid-range hotels with a focus on our budget, but we definitely do a lot of exciting activities when we’re in town too! If you aren’t flying first or business class, aren’t staying in luxury 5-star suites, and you book your accommodations in advance with some attention to seasonal rates, you’ll be able to visit Europe for far less than $10,000.

What is the Average Cost of a Two Week Trip to Europe?

The average cost of a two-week trip to Europe can vary greatly based on several factors, such as the time of year, the countries you’re visiting, your accommodation choices, and how much you plan to sightsee or dine out. But as a general range, you might expect to spend anywhere from $2,500 to $3,500 per person, including flights.

This estimate includes modest accommodations (think 3-star hotels, bed & breakfasts, or vacation rentals), meals at a mix of inexpensive local spots and nicer restaurants, public transportation, and admission fees for major attractions.

Remember, this is just a ballpark figure. If you travel off-season, eat more meals from food trucks and the supermarket, or stay in budget accommodations, you could spend much less.

Conversely, if you opt for luxury hotels, dine at high-end restaurants, and take part in exclusive tours, your costs could be significantly higher. The key is to budget accordingly and plan your trip based on your personal preferences and financial comfort zone.

By setting your budget ahead of time, you’ll be able to create a 2-week European itinerary that fits your budget needs without sacrificing too much on the things you want to enjoy!

What Currency is Used in Europe?

Since 1999, the European Union has used the Euro . If you’re coming from the U.S., it will look similar to Monopoly money… but don’t be fooled.

It actually has a higher value than the U.S. dollar and many other currencies, so when you exchange your money you’ll get fewer euros in return.

For example:

✔️ $1 USD = 0.91 euros ✔️ $1 CAD = 0.73 euros ✔️ $1 AUD = 0.68 euros

So, while it doesn’t almost look like play money, don’t forget that it’s actually a very expensive currency to hold so you don’t want to be careless with it.

Do Most People Speak English in Europe?

During your 2-week Europe itinerary, you’ll find that many people do speak English, especially in the capitals and main cities. English is taught in most European schools from a young age, so much of the working class can understand and speak English.

However, you will find smaller towns and villages where the locals don’t know much English at all, if any. This is especially true in the smaller towns of France, Belgium, Spain, and even Italy. This is why it’s important to brush up on your language skills before your trip!

If you’re heading to France , Spain , Luxembourg , Germany , or similar, you can use my French and Spanish articles to help you start learning! They are all linked at the bottom of this post for your convenience .

The Top-Rated Tours in Europe

Even if you prefer to roam on your own, there are some amazing tours offering unique experiences that you won’t get unless you book a tour in Europe.

I, personally, am not a fan of group tours, so I wouldn’t recommend these unless I didn’t truly believe they would improve your travel experience. Take a peek at some of the tours below and decide if one may be right for your trip.

How to Visit Europe on a Budget

Europe is expensive, there is no denying that. But, there are tons of ways to travel Europe on a budget! Don’t believe me? I visited a dozen European countries on a college student’s budget and got to see everything I would still want to see today had I not gone then.

Take my advice and follow these steps:

✔️ Visit Multiple Countries

What? Yes. The more countries you visit on one trip, the cheaper it tends to be. Of course, this depends on which countries you visit, but you can save a ton of money by traveling to multiple countries via train travel and cheap flights.

If you want to visit France and Spain from the U.S., you wouldn’t fly to France then fly back to Spain the following summer, would you? Well, some people would and I can guarantee they wish they didn’t spend the money on 2 roundtrip flights instead of just one multi-city flight.

✔️ Eat with the Locals

If there is a street food cart or cafe overflowing with locals, eat there. I can practically guarantee the food quality is going to be insanely good and the prices will be a lot more reasonable than if you were to sit down at a restaurant.

Anywhere you go or walk by where a waiter immediately runs up to you with a menu, just keep walking (also politely say “ no, thank you ” of course). These are usually tourist restaurants and the prices will be sky-high compared to most other eating establishments.

You can also save money by getting food at grocery stores (the food quality is almost always very good) and eating small meals on the go.

Scams to Look Out For in Europe

✔️ The Pickpocket

The picture pretty much explains what pickpocketing is. When you’re distracted and someone comes along and snatches something off of you, whether it be your phone, wallet, jewelry, or something valuable, it’s sneaky stealing and you need to watch out for it.

Typically, most places around Europe are very safe and all you need to do is follow basic safety precautions (i.e. stay with people you trust, don’t walk alone at night, etc. etc…).

But, pickpockets are extremely common across Europe and unsuspecting tourists are at the heart of the problem.

Don’t be silly and leave your phone on a cafe table when you go to the bathroom. Don’t leave your purse hanging on the back of your chair and don’t leave anything valuable where people can easily see and take it.

✔️ The Active Petitioner

See people yelling at or coming up to tourists looking for them to sign a petition? Keep walking.

Most of the time, whatever they are petitioning is fake. Why? Because they are either trying to get your personal information (i.e. name, phone number, or email) so they can send you spam, or they are just trying to distract you while you get pickpocketed.

If you see a petitioner, just keep on going.

✔️ Street Games

Whether it be dice, playing cards, cups, or the like, don’t play and don’t stand around to watch. The players get scammed owing to the fixed dice or playing cards and the onlookers get pickpocketed.

Again, only watch street artists from afar to prevent falling victim to scams and petty theft.

✔️ Streetside ATMs

Very popular in Prague, scam artists will actually put an invisible scanner over the card reader so they can steal your information when you go to withdraw money.

Additionally, streetside ATMs are designed to make you withdraw insanely high amounts of money with no option for small bills.

If you need currency, only use ATMs found inside a secured building with cameras. Never use an ATM you see on the street.

5 Honeymoon Destinations in Europe for an Amazing 2-Week Romantic Getaway

• January 12, 2021

Table of Contents

Deciding where to go and choosing your honeymoon destinations in Europe can be a fun but intimidating task!  You’re planning for what will literally be a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, and trying to plan an itinerary that has the right mix of relaxing, adventuring, romance, and sightseeing is no small feat. Read on to discover a list of the best honeymoon destinations in Europe, and some recommendations to help you plan your perfect trip.

Greece is a perfect destination for your honeymoon in Europe for many reasons. There are gorgeous landscapes, delicious food, beautiful sandy beaches, and sparkling turquoise water.

When visiting Greece, it’s a great idea to go during the off season months during the fall and spring months. The sights are still beautiful and the weather is still warm, but there are less tourists and you might even save some money on hotels and other excursions.

Fly into Athens to start your Greek getaway. It’s a city full of history, so you’ll want to put aside some time to see sites such as the Parthenon and the Acropolis. There are also countless places to enjoy the local culture and cuisines, so it’s a great place to recover from traveling before venturing on.

Next, take a ferry to the gorgeous island of Santorini . Known for its iconic white and blue structures, this is a location you can’t miss when you’re in Greece. You can have unique experiences, such as traveling up the island pathways via donkey. Crete is another delightful island retreat. This 160-mile-long island is chock full of history and opportunities to shop for local and traditional items such as olive oil.

Finish off your Greek honeymoon in Mykonos . Whether you are looking for a place to party or a place to relax, you’ll be able to find it in this beachside city.

Brimming with both romance and history, Italy is an ideal honeymoon destination in Europe. Whether you are looking for stunning coastal towns, historic sites, or delicious food, you will surely find it throughout Italy’s beautiful cities and towns.

Start your Italian honeymoon in Rome , the nation’s capital and one of the most famous and historic cities in the world. Visit iconic sites such as the Trevi Fountain or the Colosseum, and indulge in gelato or coffee. Head north to the sparkling blue water of Italy’s Lake Region , and stay at the famed Grand Tremezzo Hotel in Lake Como . This region is a great destination for history lovers and for those who want a beautiful space to unwind for a few days.

Next, head to the Amalfi Coast . This beautiful region features historic structures built into the rocky coast, perched over the Mediterranean Sea. There are beautiful hiking trails and the views of the rocky coast tinged with greenery and beautiful flowers in a variety of hues. If you have an extra day to spare, try to fit in a trip to Naples , the birthplace of pizza!

Finish your trip off with a shorter stop in Venice to experience the canals, bridges, and walkways.

When thinking about a list of the most romantic countries in the world, France definitely tops the list.

Start your trip off in Paris , the famed City of Love. You’ll want to spend time on more traditional tourist destinations, such as visiting the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Louvre. You can experience some of the world’s best shopping along the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, or experience the historic grandeur of Versailles.

To the north of Paris , you can visit Normandy’s peaceful beaches and beautiful towns. This geographic and cultural region. A unique place to visit in Normandy is Le Mont-Saint-Michel, a tidal island with thousands of years of history. It’s also one of the most visited places in France.

Next, head south to the Loire Valley . This region is known as the Garden of France due to the number of vineyards and other crops the region produces. This is also a great destination for history lovers – there are several distinct examples of historic architecture such as the Château d’Azay-le-Rideau, and the central part of the valley has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Finish off your trip in the famed wine region of Bordeaux . Sample some of the world’s best wine at any of the area’s beautiful vineyards, or experience the wine culture by visiting La Cite du Vin, a unique wine museum that has interactive exhibits and a variety of wine classes and experiences that you can take while experiencing a beautiful view. You can pair your wine with some delicious food, such as oysters from Arcachon Bay.

Bordeaux also has an international airport, so you can leave from that area rather than traveling all the way back to France via car or train.

The United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is a fantastic honeymoon destination, full of places that are brimming with history and culture. Even though you may associate the UK with cloudy skies, if you visit in the fall or spring you have a chance of avoiding the rainy days.

Start your trip in London , England, and experience it’s historic charm. You can taste traditional pub fare such as fish and chips, walk through Hyde Park, or visit the Tower of London. No matter what your hobbies or interests are, you’ll find something for you in London.

Next, head up to The Cotswolds . This region was officially designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1966, and if you visit you’ll see why.  Known for its historic towns and stone-built villages, this area is the perfect place to retreat to after the hustle and bustle of the city. The storybook charm of these picturesque villages and towns create a perfect romantic retreat.

Finish off your trip in Edinburgh , the capital of Scotland. Walk through the historic Edinburgh Old Town and immerse yourself in the historic architecture.

Planning a romantic and unforgettable honeymoon in Europe can be an exciting and memorable experience.

Whether you’re envisioning a luxurious, all-inclusive resort or an adventurous, budget-friendly getaway , this guide will help you navigate the planning process and ensure your honeymoon is truly special.

Determining Your Honeymoon Goals and Preferences

As you embark on planning your European honeymoon, the first step is to determine your goals and preferences as a couple. Do you envision a romantic getaway filled with candlelit dinners and scenic vistas, or do you prefer an adventure honeymoon with outdoor activities and exploration? Are you looking for a budget-friendly option or are you willing to splurge on a luxury resort ? Considering the preferred travel seasons and honeymoon durations can also play a significant role in your planning.

Romantic Getaways or Adventure Honeymoons

Reflect on the type of experience you and your partner desire for your honeymoon. Do you envision a leisurely, indulgent getaway with plenty of opportunities for romance and relaxation, or are you craving an adrenaline-filled adventure with outdoor explorations and cultural immersion? Understanding your shared vision will help you narrow down the best destinations and activities to create a truly memorable honeymoon.

Budget-Friendly or Luxury Resorts

Another important factor to consider is your budget and willingness to splurge on your honeymoon. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, you may want to explore a range of accommodation options, from cozy bed and breakfasts to mid-range hotels. Alternatively, if you’re open to a luxury resort experience, you can indulge in opulent amenities and personalized services to elevate your honeymoon celebration.

Preferred Travel Seasons and Durations

The travel season you choose for your honeymoon can also impact your overall experience and budget. Consider factors such as peak tourist seasons, weather conditions, and local festivals or events that may enhance or detract from your trip. Additionally, decide on the ideal honeymoon duration that aligns with your schedules, budget, and desired level of relaxation or adventure.

By taking the time to discuss and align your honeymoon goals and preferences as a couple, you’ll be able to tailor your European adventure to perfectly suit your shared vision and create an unforgettable experience to cherish for a lifetime.

Top Honeymoon Destinations in Europe

Europe is renowned for its wealth of stunning and romantic honeymoon destinations . Some of the top options to consider include Italy, with its picturesque cities of Rome, Venice, and the Amalfi Coast; France, with the iconic city of Paris, the French Riviera, and the charming region of Provence; and Greece, with the enchanting islands of Santorini and Mykonos. Each of these honeymoon destinations in Europe offers a unique blend of history, culture, cuisine, and natural beauty, making them ideal choices for couples seeking a memorable and personalized honeymoon experience.

Italy: Rome, Venice, and the Amalfi Coast

Italy is a perennial favorite among Italy honeymoon couples, offering a captivating mix of ancient history, world-class cuisine, and breathtaking landscapes. Begin your journey in the eternal city of Rome, where you can stroll hand-in-hand through the iconic landmarks, such as the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain. Then, venture to the romantic canals of Venice, where you can glide through the waterways in a gondola and indulge in the city’s rich cultural heritage. Finally, explore the picturesque Amalfi Coast, with its pastel-colored cliffside towns, crystal-clear waters, and charming seaside cafes.

France: Paris, the French Riviera, and Provence

France is another renowned France honeymoon destination, offering a diverse array of romantic experiences. Begin your journey in the City of Love, Paris, where you can stroll along the Seine, visit the Eiffel Tower, and savor exquisite French cuisine. Then, head to the sun-drenched French Riviera, with its glamorous coastal towns like Cannes and Nice, where you can soak up the Mediterranean sun and enjoy luxurious beach resorts.

Booking Your Honeymoon Package

When it comes to planning your European honeymoon, you’ll have the option to choose from pre-designed honeymoon packages or create a custom itinerary through independent travel planning . Both routes offer unique advantages, and it’s important to weigh the pros and cons to find the best fit for your preferences and budget.

All-Inclusive Resorts vs. Independent Travel Planning

All-inclusive resorts can provide a stress-free and hassle-free honeymoon experience, with accommodations , meals , and activities all bundled into one convenient package. This can be an attractive option for couples who want a seamless, all-in-one honeymoon experience. On the other hand, independent travel planning allows you to customize your itinerary and potentially find more budget-friendly options by booking each component separately.

Comparing Prices and Amenities

Whether you choose an all-inclusive resort or plan your honeymoon independently, it’s essential to thoroughly compare prices and amenities to find the best value. Consider factors such as the quality of the accommodations , the range of dining options, and the availability of special honeymoon-themed experiences or activities. By doing your research, you can ensure your honeymoon package aligns with your vision and budget.

Travel Insurance and Visa Requirements

In addition to booking your honeymoon package, don’t forget to purchase travel insurance and research any necessary visa requirements for your chosen destinations. Travel insurance can provide valuable protection against unforeseen events, such as trip cancellations or medical emergencies. Likewise, understanding the visa requirements for each country you plan to visit will help you prepare the necessary documentation and ensure a smooth and hassle-free journey.

How to Plan a Perfect Honeymoon

Planning a perfect honeymoon involves several key steps, starting with creating a detailed honeymoon itinerary and securing all necessary honeymoon reservations . This includes booking your accommodations , transportation , and any special experiences or activities you’d like to enjoy during your trip.

Creating an Itinerary and Reservations

Begin by mapping out your desired destinations, activities, and daily schedule. Research and book your honeymoon accommodations , ensuring they align with your preferences for romantic getaways , luxury resorts , or budget-friendly options. Don’t forget to reserve any transportation , such as flights , trains, or rental cars, to seamlessly get you from one location to the next.

Packing for Your Honeymoon

Carefully consider your packing for the honeymoon , ensuring you have all the essentials while leaving room for souvenirs and mementos. Make a comprehensive list of must-have items, from clothing and toiletries to any specialized gear for outdoor adventures or formal occasions. Aim to pack light and smart, making your travels more comfortable and efficient.

Travel Documents and Currency Exchange

Lastly, don’t forget to gather all necessary travel documents , such as passports and visas, well in advance of your departure. Additionally, plan for currency exchange to make your transactions seamless during your European adventure. Research the local currencies and consider obtaining some cash before your trip to avoid any delays or complications.

Romantic Activities and Experiences

To make your European honeymoon truly unforgettable, consider incorporating romantic activities and experiences into your itinerary. From candlelit dinners to outdoor adventures , these unique moments will create cherished memories and deepen the connection between you and your partner.

Candlelit Dinners and Wine Tastings

Indulge in intimate candlelit dinners at charming local restaurants, savoring the flavors of the region and each other’s company. For a more sophisticated touch, embark on wine tastings in renowned wine regions, exploring the nuances of the local vintages.

Couples’ Spa Treatments and Massages

Pamper yourselves with couples’ spa treatments and massages to unwind and reconnect. Indulge in soothing rituals that will leave you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and deeply connected.

Scenic Hikes and Outdoor Adventures

For a more adventurous touch, explore the stunning natural landscapes of Europe through scenic hikes and outdoor activities. Breathe in the fresh air, marvel at the breathtaking scenery, and create lasting memories as you engage in thrilling explorations together.

Budgeting for Your European Honeymoon

Budgeting for your European honeymoon is an essential step to ensure a stress-free and enjoyable experience. Start by estimating the costs for flights , accommodations, and transportation to your chosen destinations. Factoring in additional expenses such as meals , activities, and souvenirs will help you get a comprehensive picture of your total honeymoon budget .

Estimating Costs for Flights, Accommodations, and Transportation

Begin by researching flight prices to your desired European destinations. Consider booking well in advance to take advantage of early-bird discounts. Next, explore a variety of accommodations, from luxurious resorts to budget-friendly hotels, to find the perfect fit for your honeymoon budget . Don’t forget to factor in the costs of ground transportation, such as trains, buses, or car rentals, to get around during your trip.

Factoring in Meals, Activities, and Souvenirs

In addition to your travel expenses, be sure to allocate funds for meals throughout your honeymoon. From indulgent, candlelit dinners to quick bites, these costs can add up quickly. Additionally, plan for any activities or experiences you’d like to enjoy, such as guided tours, couples’ spa treatments , or outdoor adventures . Finally, don’t forget to budget for souvenirs and mementos to commemorate your special trip.

Money-Saving Tips for Newlyweds

As newlyweds, there are several ways to save money on your European honeymoon. Consider booking your flights , accommodations, and activities in advance to take advantage of early-bird discounts. Remain flexible with your travel dates, as prices can vary significantly based on the season.

12 things to know before traveling to Georgia

Jun 26, 2024 • 5 min read

Plan your trip to Georgia with these tips © Yumi mini / iStock / Getty Images Plus

With its beautiful but rugged mountain ranges, rich culture and Soviet past, Georgia once had a reputation as a challenging travel destination loved by intrepid backpackers. Luckily, it could hardly be easier to visit Georgia these days, and it’s no coincidence that much of the country’s economy is now based on tourism. 

I’ve been visiting Georgia for more than 20 years, and I’ve seen the country transform almost beyond recognition in many respects, while also remaining reassuringly familiar in others. Few countries can boast the charms that win Georgia so many converts among first-time visitors , and it’s rare not to hear people raving about the country after finally getting to visit. Here are a few of the tips I frequently find myself sharing with those about to discover the delights of the country locals call Saqartvelo.

1. Give yourself plenty of time to explore 

Georgia appears small on a map, leading some first-time visitors to assume it can be seen in just a few days. But due to a combination of mountainous terrain and infrastructural shortcomings, that’s not the case — travel times between regions are significant. Budget at least three full days to explore the capital,  Tbilisi , while I’d recommend spending at least a full week in the country to explore some of the best places to visit in Georgia . Internal flights to the mountains allow you to save a day’s driving in each direction if you are very pressed for time.

2. Pack clothes for all climates

The summer can be stiflingly hot in the lowlands, but as soon as you reach any altitude, let alone the High Caucasus themselves, the temperature plummets and you’ll need a fleece and jacket, even in July. Georgia is generally very relaxed about how people dress, with the only exception being in churches, where skin is best not exposed and where women are expected to cover their heads or don (church-provided) wrap skirts to cover up their pants.

3. Be prepared for some rough roads if you’re driving

Any experienced driver who has driven abroad before should feel fine taking the wheel here. Georgia’s roads have improved immeasurably in the past 20 years, and the vast majority are now sealed, though they remain predominantly single-lane, frequently studded with potholes, and lacking in markings or lighting at night. Nowadays it’s only the famously daunting road to Tusheti that should only be attempted by confident drivers in 4WD vehicles. 

4. Locals give far better advice than apps about driving routes

You may be used to having your apps decide what route you take between two given points at home, but Georgia is not somewhere to entrust your journey to a tech giant. While apps are often very helpful, you should always ask locals before setting out on a long car journey, as what your app might not be able to tell you is how good the road it recommends is or even how surfaced it is. Often in the South Caucasus, it pays to take the more circuitous route!

5. Keep an eye out for sheepdogs in the mountains

Sheepdogs in the Caucasus are bred to be fierce and can potentially be dangerous, so give them a wide berth when hiking in the mountains and carry a stick if possible. For this reason, when walking in the mountains, do also avoid walking too closely to herds of livestock – even if you can’t see a sheepdog, one may suddenly appear from nowhere, which might be an unpleasant surprise.

6. Be aware of political sensitivities

While speaking Russian can be very useful with older people who are unlikely to speak English, do bear in mind that to many younger people, it’s considered a colonial relic imposed on the country by an empire that continues to occupy around 20% of Georgia’s sovereign territory. The breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia (to which many governments advise against all travel ) are both emotive issues for Georgians, so broach them delicately if you want to ask locals for their views on the subject.  

7. Take it easy on the chacha

Georgia’s far stronger version of grappa, chacha is the national drink and you’ll almost certainly run into it during your visit. While commercially produced varieties are around 40% proof, homebrews can be twice as strong, so do genuinely proceed with caution when you inevitably find yourself handed a glass. 

8. Don’t toast with beer 

Georgians only toast their enemies with beer, so make sure you have a glass of wine or chacha to hand if you’re lucky enough to attend a traditional Georgian feast, or supra  (dinner party). Toasts, which are elaborate and usually led by a specially selected toast giver (tamada) , have their own myriad rules, but it’s easy enough to follow along and just drink when everybody else does.

9. Rural areas can be very conservative 

Spend a weekend in Tbilisi and you might come away with a rather unrepresentative sense of just how progressive Georgians are. A trip to a remote area, particularly the mountains, will soon even things out. While the people are delightful and welcoming, there’s no denying that the patriarchy still looms large in rural areas and attitudes that some may consider old-fashioned remain common. If you’re not married and don’t have kids, be prepared to field some fairly direct questions about why on earth you don’t.

10. Drink bottled water in the lowlands

The water in the mountains is generally of excellent quality and perfectly safe to drink, but it’s always safest to drink the bottled variety, which is plentiful and very cheap, in the lowlands, particularly in bigger cities. On the plus side, this does at least give you plenty of chances to try Georgia’s much-loved and unique mineral water Borjomi. 

11. Use Tbilisi’s underpasses to cross busy roads 

The Georgian capital is not a great place for crossing the road, particularly along Rustaveli, Tbilisi’s busy main avenue. Luckily, dozens of underpasses allow you to cross the road safely — it’s wise to use them, as one look at the febrile traffic situation is likely to confirm.

12. In big cities, a small tip will be appreciated 

Hot on the heels of international tourism, tipping has now well and truly arrived in Georgia, though it’s still limited to Tbilisi, Batumi and Kutaisi for the most part. In general, leaving a 10% cash tip when you’ve had good service is appropriate in mid-range and top-end restaurants, but not always expected. Do be aware that tips left on credit cards are unlikely to make their way into the hands of your server, though.

As you can see ... she didn't seem to be getting bothered much -- still ... she was kinda packed in like a sardine ... and even before the flight, she was spotted in the terminal along with everyone else, going through the motions of customs, etc. Like we said, relatable.

Of course, J Lo popped up in Italy just last week for a solo trip without Ben ... getting some R&R with friends along the beautiful Positano coast, where she was beaming.

While J Lo wined and dined in Italy and flew to France for Paris Fashion Week, Ben's been in L.A. ... where he's spending time with his son and hitting the marital home . Of course, he ran into a little drama there with paps ... but the bigger point is, he and Jen are apart.

As you know ... Ben and Jen appear to be hurtling towards divorce, and are living separately as they quietly try to unload the $60 million Beverly Hills home they purchased together just last year.

We've seen Jen and Ben hang out together here and there over the past several weeks -- mostly for family events -- but on this occasion ... it looks like she needs some me-time.

A Euro flight up in the air is the perfect place for that ... just a superstar and her thoughts.
