Honeymoons in Europe |
One of the most spectacular ways couples like to start off a new life together is by taking honeymoons in Europe. Many people have no experience with foreign travel, so honeymoons in Europe can be difficult to plan and exciting all at once. By choosing a few key places to visit instead of trying to see the entire continent, your vacation can be stress-free and romantic.
There are many great cities that are perfect stops for honeymoons in Europe. Traveling to them all takes time and money, so instead, try to pick out a few top choices. Many people on honeymoons in Europe like to stop in Paris, London, Amsterdam, the Vatican, Venice, and Athens. You might also consider less popular cities in the Alps or try taking a cruise through the Mediterranean islands. Remember that not all European countries, especially those in the east, are stable, so plan your itinerary wisely. Honeymoons in Europe can include site seeing in some of the most famous places in the world, but don't forget about the night life and beaches you'll find there as well. They can be expensive, but honeymoons in Europe are wonderful vacations.

Honeymoon Destination -
Inverlochy Castle
Fort William, Scotland
 If
staying in a castle in the Scottish highlands is your idea
of the ultimate honeymoon getaway then this is definitely
your place. Inverlochy Castle received the highest
rating in Europe by Travel & Leisure magazine for 2006.
Inverlochy was built in 1863 by the first lord Abinger near
the site of the original 13th century fortress. Queen
Victoria spent a week there in 1873 and her comments were "I
never saw a lovelier, more romantic spot." Nestled in
the glens, lochs, and mountains of the Scottish highlands,
Inverlochy boasts some of the best scenery in all of Europe.
Of course, Scotland is known for its golf, but there is also
white water rafting, mountain biking, clay pigeon shooting,
and horse back riding. At night after a scrumptious
dinner at one of their three restaurants, relax by the fire
with a scotch and a cigar if you're so inclined.
