#AD It’s a new year and that means at least one person you know got engaged over Christmas or has a wedding planned for 2019. If that’s you, massive congratulations! If not but you’d still like to dream about your ideal wedding and (more importantly in my opinion) your ideal honeymoon, then welcome. You’ve come to the right place. I’m not married myself but I know that if/when I do, the honeymoon will be the thing I look forward to the most. I’d rather have a small, cheaper wedding and save my money for a luxurious holiday where my partner and I can experience new countries, cultures and make loads of memories instead.

Europe is a great choice for a honeymoon destination. If you’re in the UK (like me), then nowhere is really too far. There’s likely going to be an airport not too far from you and you’re pretty much guaranteed some decent weather, if you pick the dates right.
Italy
Spending your honeymoon eating the best pasta and pizza in the world? I don’t mind if I do. When it comes to honeymoons in Europe, Italy can be one of the most beautiful and romantic choices (if you don’t mind gaining 10 pounds from all the amazing food). Italy has such a rich culture and not to mention stunning scenery, swoon-worthy beaches and exciting cities with plenty to see and do.
Italy Top Pick: Hotel Bellevue Syrene, Sorrento

Austria
Probably not the first destination you’d think of when it comes to booking a honeymoon, but Austria has some of the most stunning landscapes and scenery you could ever possibly hope for when it comes to a romantic getaway where nothing else in the world matters. Austria is perfect for couples who love the outdoors, architecture or even a spot of skiing on the Alps, if you’re feeling brave!
Austria Top Pick: Grand Hotel Zell am See

Iceland
If you want a truly magical honeymoon, Iceland might be the perfect option. Honeymoon doesn’t always have to equal a hot country so changing it up and having a different sort of experience might be just perfect! Explore the fascinating city of Reykjavik, go on a boat trip, spend time in the infamous blue lagoon and spot the Aurora Borealis if you’re really lucky.
Iceland could definitely be the most magical honeymoon choice. Spend a quiet night in the company of your dearest and the northern lights. No need to go anywhere or even go outside because you can stay warm and cozy inside your camper in Iceland while enjoying the spectacular light show above.
Iceland Top Pick: Hotel Ranga, South Iceland

Multi destination honeymoons
If you’re really going all out with your honeymoon and don’t want to stop at just one place, then a multi destination honeymoon might be an excellent choice for you to extend your holiday and really make the most of the time together. This can also give you a chance to do different types of activities, depending on what you both like. A multi destination honeymoon can take you all over the world – not just confined to Europe.
If you’re married, I’d love to hear where you went on your honeymoon! If not, where would your dream honeymoon be?

These are some lovely honeymoon destinations. That photo of Austria is stunning. 💗 If I get married I’d probably choose Italy as a European destination or New York if I went further afield.
It is isn’t is! Santorini would definitely be a high up choice of mine!
Woud add Croatia to your list 🙂
We took our honeymoon over two years after getting married, haha, but we did a multi-destination honeymoon! We went to Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France and it was so lovely. I love the Alps and they’re very romantic so made a perfect honeymoon tour!

That sounds like my perfect trip tbh! I’ve been skiing in the Alps although it was with the school so not a romantic holiday ahah!
I think my dream destination for Europe would be Italy, especially venice x
I’d love to go to Venice too! x
Very much not married or even close but I adore Italy. It’s so beautiful, like you said, the food 😍. I’ve never been to Iceland but I’d absolutely love to. I’ve never thought of it as a honeymoon destination before though! Great picks here, I love that they’re a little different x

Thank you 😌 I’d never pick a “typical” place I don’t think! (Apart from Disneyland Paris haha!)
Iceland and Italy look incredible! Definitely bucket list places and great for a honeymoon.

Definitely both!
We went to Marrakech for our honeymoon and had an amazing time! I would love to go to Italy though for our anniversary… Maybe after a few years or so!
I’ve heard amazing things about Marrakech!
All such good ideas! We chose Paris for our honeymoon which we adored but it took us such a long time to decide! I think Italy would be absolutely perfect xx

I love Paris! Perfect honeymoon destination 😌
Just looking at all these places makes me want to go on holiday so bad!!

Haha same!
I don’t plan to get married or have a honeymoon, but Iceland sounds like an awesome place to visit!
It really does 😌
Italy is breathtakingly stunning, that would be such an amazing honeymoon destination! Thanks for sharing this 🙂
My recent post: https://lifeofellabella.blogspot.com/2019/01/simple-ways-to-boost-your-self-esteem.html
It really would 🙂
Iceland is on my to visit list! It’s absolutely gorgeous!
Love, Amie ❤

I’d love to go 😌
I’ve always loved the idea of the Maldives for a honeymoon – but the idea of a multi destination honeymoon is right up my street!
It’d be fab wouldn’t it!
I am always up for Italy!. Capri, Sicily, Sardinia or anywhere else really. It is always i beautiful. I think Kenya, Tanzania or Japan would also be on my list though
Some interesting places!
I’m not married or engaged, but I would love to have a multi destination honeymoon! Growing up in the US airfare was EXPENSIVE to go outside of the US, but now that I live in Denmark traveling around Europe is doable & would be amazing!
Wow! That sounds interesting, where you’ve lived!
I haven’t thought much about honeymoon’s as I feel like it will be a long while until I get married – weddings are so expensive, even if I wanted to get married I think me and my boyfriend would wait till we had some good savings for it. But as a dream destination I would LOVE to go to Japan – just because we both want to go, and we’re such nerds so I’d go to the Studio Ghibli museum, the Pokemon shop ect, but then seeing the old culture and the amazing buildings would be breathtaking! I would also love to visit Iceland.. I might just go this year because I’ve wanted to go for so long, but it looks like a very pretty place!

Oooh I’d love to visit Japan too! Tbh, I wouldn’t spend much on a wedding at all!
I’m seriously debating a honeymoon touring Italy. It’s my favourite place. I’m going to Turin for Easter and I can’t wait.
Oooh that sounds like it’d be amazing!
We went to Cape Verde, it was so move but very hot xx
Sounds lovely!
I absolutely love how you experiment with different types of blogposts.You’re definitely not an average lifestyle blogger, because I see an immense variety of content in your blog and it inspires me to play around with my niches like that.Love this!
Thank you 😌
I get married next year, and considering Mexico for our honeymoon x
Oooh an interesting choice!
I love Italy but next on my list is Iceland x
http://www.ofbeautyandnothingness.co.uk
I assume not for a honeymoon though? Haha 😂
Oooh I don’t think I’m even close to a honeymoon yet (don’t even have a bf!) but some of these destinations look absolutely amazing!
Iceland is high on the list of places I want to go, as is Italy and I will perhaps do a weekend in Austria if I can get time off this year!
There’s so many beautiful places I want to visit in Europe – Germany being on of them. I speak a bit of German and loved learning the language and all about the culture and life over there so I’m hoping to be able to go at some point this year too!
One place I definitely need to visit is Malta and I’m not sure if you’ve been or seen photos but it’s STUNNING. One of our consultants at work is Maltese and came back from visiting with the most gorgeous photos I’ve ever seen! I think that might be my summer holiday planned…!
Great post and sorry for the long comment thats slightly unrelated!

Haha not at all! I’d love to go to Germany too – it’s high up on my list, as it Iceland and Austria 😌
I went to skiathos for my honeymoon and it was amazing, it was 18 yrs ago.
Wow lucky you!
I am very lucky xx
Austria looks so beautiful! I’ve been to Italy, Venice in particular and loved it. The food was incredible! I never had a honeymoon of any sort, something that I do regret but you listed some really great places! 🙂

I’d love to see Venice, I bet it’s spectacular! 😌
Great post, some lovely picks in this list. The grand hotel in Austria looks beautiful! I’m nowhere near a honeymoon stage in my life but I think I may just have to add these destinations to my travel list!

Same here! Austria and Iceland are already on mine 😌
Great post Jenny! That view of the Grand Hotel in Austria is so beautiful. My top choice would be Italy though. I want to visit there one day 😊
Thank you 😌
