When it comes to your honeymoon, you should never hold back. If you are planning an expensive, luxurious trip, you may want to consider these romantic destinations for your honeymoon. Here are 4 top picks:

#1: Venice, Italy

Despite making recent headlines for slowly sinking below the water's surface, Venice is one of the most romantic cities in Europe. Venice has many things that make it stand out from other destinations, including the fact that the entire main tourist area is car-free, meaning reduced noise, and it is surrounded by water, giving you a beautiful view no matter where you go.

During your time in Venice, it may be hard to pick where you want to visit simply because there are so many options. However, riding a gondola, visiting Doge's Palace, and kissing under the Bridge of Sighs are favourites among tourists from all over the world. As for dining, Venice has hundreds of romantic places to eat, but considering the high price of food in the area, you may want to read up on tips to win the lottery.

#2: Santorini, Greece

Santorini is another popular romantic destination for newlyweds due to its stunning sunsets, white-washed buildings, and crystal-clear waters. You'll never find a shortage of things to do or places to see in Santorini, as there are plenty of beaches, restaurants, hiking trails, and wine tours to explore.

Plus, Santorini's history is sure to be one that will intrigue you. Known for the volcanic eruption that destroyed much of the city, Santorini has many museums and tours that bring you back in time to experience what the city once looked like and the chaos it once went through.

#3: Paris, France

It may be a cliche, but we simply couldn't make this list without featuring Paris. As France's largest city by a huge margin, there are so many things for couples to do here. With a population exceeding 2 million just in residents, Paris is truly alive, and you are sure to feel the city's energy when walking around.

There are quite a few must-visits when visiting the City of Love including (of course), the Eiffel Tower, the Notre-Dame Cathedral, and strolling along the Seine River. If you are looking to visit at a less busy time to enjoy shorter wait times and more romantic moments, consider a visit to Paris during February. While there will be colder weather, most people do not visit around this time which means you can save on airfare and hotel stays among other things.

#4: Victoria, Canada

While it may be the smallest city on our list, Victoria has secured its place on our list of romantic places to visit on your honeymoon. Situated just over an hour out of Vancouver by car, Victoria is well within reach during your next getaway. This city offers plenty of relaxation and natural beauty for couples of all kinds.

Victoria is known as the “Garden City” due to its abundance of English-style gardens, making it a perfect place for you and your significant other to take in the sights as you explore the town together. Plus, some of Victoria's famous attractions include the Royal British Columbia Museum, Butchart Gardens, and Craigdarroch Castle, all of which are perfect spots for a romantic date or stroll.

Final Thoughts

Romance is truly in the air in every corner of the world, but where you choose to venture is up to you and your partner! However, we hope that our list has given you a head start on choosing where you will spend the next romantic getaway.
