The wedding ceremony is over, which means the main question becomes – where to go for your honeymoon. Often, young people ask this question even before marriage, planning their wedding adventure in advance. This is an exciting, wonderful period when lovers can relax together, give themselves completely to each other, forgetting about all everyday worries, indulging in love. To make your honeymoon wonderful, you need to take into account several important points: budget and preferences of the newlyweds.
Determining the budget for your honeymoon
A wedding celebration is a very costly and expensive event. Outfits for the newlyweds, payment for the banquet, accessories and other little things that seem inexpensive, but can cause a significant blow to the newlyweds’ family budget. Such cases force you to save on your honeymoon, looking for a cheaper price. But no matter how much money you're willing to spend on your trip, you shouldn't postpone or cancel your honeymoon.
- To save a little money, as an option, you can go on a honeymoon on a last-minute package. This is now practiced in all travel agencies. The cost of such tours is usually lower, but you will have to sacrifice some comfort conditions (for example, you need to get ready for such a trip as quickly as possible, because you will have to go where there are vouchers). Choose a hotel with at least 4 stars.
- Organize your honeymoon to a place where vacation is budget and economical. For example, choose the Philippines or Tunisia instead of Cyprus or Greece. Such a trip will be more economical, but you will get a lot of pleasure from your time and a lot of unforgettable experiences.
- If your family budget has seriously “suffered” after a wedding banquet, it would be a good idea to visit one of the cities of vast Russia. Sometimes, traveling to another city in your homeland can give you positive impressions and emotions. Contact your local travel agency and they will find the best tour for you. You will understand that not only a foreign resort can be exciting for a honeymoon.
Where to go on your honeymoon in August
Having had a wedding in the summer and planning a honeymoon for August, it is important to choose the right country. Where to go, which country currently has a favorable climate conducive to quality recreation? When choosing a trip in the summer, you should take into account the time to avoid the rainy season, or vice versa, during the period when the thermometer can rise above 40 degrees. The choice of where to go in August depends on the preferences of the young - will it be a vacation on the ocean coast, a sea cruise or a mountain trip.
European countries with access to the sea are perfect for a honeymoon in August. For example, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy, France, Greece. Among the more exotic options, it is worth considering the Maldives, Canary Islands, Dominican Republic, and Mexico.
Visa-free countries
An important factor for a honeymoon abroad is the paperwork, which takes a lot of time and sometimes nerves. You can entrust the preparation of documents to a travel agency, but you should be careful and carefully choose an agency so as not to stumble upon scammers.
To ease the hassle with documents, you should choose to travel to places where a visa is not required. It will be faster and much easier. Such states, for example, include: Brazil, Vietnam, Turkey, Philippines, Georgia, Thailand. Or choose a country where a visa is issued at the border (Egypt, Cyprus, Sri Lanka).

When choosing a wedding date, newlyweds rarely think about where they will go on their honeymoon, but everyone dreams of a honeymoon spent in comfort.

But where is the best place to go if your celebration took place in winter? It doesn’t matter, there are thousands of places in the world for which January frosts are not a hindrance.

For those who are very “summery” by nature, and who want to escape away from the frosts at home - the islands are waiting for you! For example, go to India, to the island of Goa. On the pristine beaches of Mobor and Benaulim, you will spend an incredibly romantic honeymoon, because you will be strewn with flower petals, and you, in turn, will not deny yourself anything, especially fruit, which is abundant here. You can also go to the island of Mauritius, which only a couple of years ago could only be visited by members of royal families.

Winter is not the most favorite time of year for those who want to have a luxurious wedding. Not only is it quite cold in a light dress in frosty weather, but you can’t go too far with a honeymoon in the vastness of your native country and most of Europe. Traditionally, in winter people tend to go to the countries of eternal summer, to the seashore or ocean. However, the winter months also have their own charm in cold climates. It’s not for nothing that children’s fairy tales about the Snow Queen and the Nutcracker are imbued with a special touch of romanticism. To bring a fairy tale to life, it is best to go to Europe. It is especially interesting to see local Christmas traditions.
Benefits of winter honeymoons
In the summer, due to the influx of tourists, the entire holiday takes place at a frantic pace, and it is quite difficult to feel the true flavor of the area. In winter, you can enjoy the sights without having to push through dense rows of other vacationers to them. An additional advantage of winter holidays is reasonable prices, unless we are talking about tours dedicated to holidays. For shopping lovers, the right destination and month allow you to enjoy the sales season by bringing back a new wardrobe from your trip. Well, romance depends only on the state of the soul, and not on the time of year.
Where to go on a honeymoon in winter?
The Scandinavian countries have very good winter weather. You can ride a reindeer sleigh, especially if you manage to attend the winter festival. Skiing and sledding - you can’t do without it either. And when you go on a honeymoon to Finland, you can visit the village - and the fairy tale will come to life for you. Here you can dine in a “fairytale” restaurant, walk around the ice park, and buy Christmas gifts for your witnesses and relatives. Someday you will return here with your children.
You can look into Sweden. This country is ready to welcome newlyweds in a special Ice hotel. It is built annually in the city of Jukkasjärvi and is its main attraction. Due to the fragility of the original material, the hotel operates only in the winter months, from December to April, and is built every year according to a new design project.
Ice for construction is brought from nearby reservoirs in quantities of several tons. The second building material is snow, which requires about 30 thousand cubic meters. For lovers of romance, over the past few years, a separate chapel has been built next to the hotel, where you can hold a wedding ceremony.
Despite the high prices, bookings for rooms at the hotel begin almost from the moment it opens in December. Due to the low temperatures indoors, it is not recommended to stay there for more than one night, but this time is quite enough to feel like you are in the kingdom of the snow queen.
The Czech Republic is interesting in winter. In addition to traditional winter activities such as ice skating, skiing and sledding, there are other delights. Many tourists prefer to travel to the Czech Republic for the New Year. They have been preparing for Christmas since the beginning of December, completely transforming the streets and houses. This is a period of bright illumination, fireworks, hot mulled wine and the spirit of romance literally in the air. Czech Christmas markets are famous. Young people can enjoy beauty, warming each other with their love. And in one of the castles in the Czech Republic you can organize a honey party.
Tours to ski resorts in the Alps are not as expensive as people think. There are quite affordable solutions - in any case, a week in the Alps can cost the same price as a week or two in Gelendzhik in the summer. But the Black Sea is always nearby, and the Alps... Spending even a short honeymoon in a French or Swiss mountain resort is unforgettable!
For those who are not limited on finances, we can recommend a real British castle as a place for a honeymoon. The trade in “family nests” has long been put on stream by the enterprising British, especially since there are more than enough people who want to feel like medieval feudal lords. Thus, anyone can rent a room in a hotel located in an ancient, ancient castle with thick, very thick walls.
The program is organized in full accordance with the spirit of the times: people are supposed to go down to dinner in evening clothes and at the sound of a gong. At the same time, the modern benefits of civilization are present in castles, so you can feel the spirit of aristocracy in a warm pool, communicating with relatives via the Internet. The only drawback of such a trip is its high cost.
