Top Honeymoon Destinations
by Heather Greene

Ahh, the honeymoon, whether it be a trip to Vegas or a quiet beach hideaway it will
always be remembered as one of the best and most important vacations you've ever
gone on. Here's the Wedding Wonderful hotlist of great honeymoons.

Las Vegas, Neveda-- Las Vegas is like nothing else in this world. The lights, the
gambling, the shows, the $4.99 prime rib, you'll find it all here in Las Vegas like nowhere
else. For the couple who enjoys gambling, seeing shows, and the night life this is the
perfect trip.

Orlando, Florida-- Orlando is not just for kids, Walt Disney World and the newer Universal
Studios rank as one of the top honeymoon destinations in the world. Not only does
Central Florida have the draw of the theme parks, but also plenty of beaches and other
attractions. This is the perfect trip for the couple who enjoys roller coaster fun in the
sun.

Niagara Falls, New York/ Canada-- Once the classic honeymoon destination, Niagara
Falls is still a great choice for couples interested in sightseeing rather than laying on the
beach. Both the American and Canadian sides are great, but most of the action, including
gambling, occurs on the Canadian side and you have a better view of the falls.

Hawaii-- The main destination of choice for today's honeymooners, Hawaii offers the
perfect combination of sightseeing and beach fun. We selected the Big Island of Hawaii
for a place on our top ten honeymoon beaches list, but Maui, Oahu, and Molokai are great
options too.

New York City-- The everything capitol of the world. New York is full of exciting cultural
and sightseeing opportunities. Our pick for the most romantic NYC activity? A moonlight
horse and buggy ride in Central Park.

Hilton Head, South Carolina-- Long known for being a golfing mecca, Hilton Head is
quickly developing into one of the biggest northeast honeymoon destinations. The Old
South is alive and kicking here both architecturally and in terms of hospitality and the
white sand beaches are some of the prettiest you'll find in this part of the country.

Poconos, Pennsylvania--Nothing screams heart shaped hot tub more than the Poconos.
This once premiere honeymoon destination is still a wonderful choice for couples who
want to relax and enjoy the great outdoors mountain style.

Puerto Rico-- Puerto Rico has long been a hot spot for beach loving couples and buffs of
history. San Juan is the oldest US-owned capitol city and the whole island is rich in
Spanish culture. Nightlife including dancing and casinos abounds.

The Bahamas-- The Bahamas is a string of 700 islands, the most popular of which are
located just off the coast of Florida. Nassau, the capitol and any of the beaches on
Grand Bahamas Island or Paradise Island are popular with honeymooners. Our Bahamas
beach pick? Pink Sands.

Bermuda-- The island of Bermuda and it's infamous "triangle" are located about 500 miles
off the coast of North Carolina. This string of 150 islands is famous for it's pink sand
beaches and unique pastel architecture. St. George is the main honeymoon destination.

Caymen Islands-- The Caymens are located about 430 miles south of Miami and although
these islands have become popular lately, they are much less commercialized than many
other Caribbean destinations. This is the perfect trip for the couple who prefers quiet
days in the sand and snorkeling to a wild nightlife. Grand Caymen Island is the most
popular island.

Jamaica--Jamaica is famous for it's white sand beaches and waterfalls as well as it's
regee culture. Although it is not quiet as popular as some other Caribbean destinations
due to concern about crime this is still a great vacation for those who enjoy a tropical
setting. Nergil Jamaica made our list as one of the top ten honeymoon beach sites.

The Virgin Islands-- Half US owned and half British owned, the most popular Virgin
Island destinations include St. John, St. Thomas, St. Croix, and Tortola. St. Thomas and
St. Croix, both US owned are huge tourist destinations while St. John and Tortola are
popular but less touristy. We picked the island of St. John as one of the ten best
honeymoon beaches in the world.

Mexico-- The beaches of Mexico are said to be some of the best in the world and like
many of the Caribbean islands very snorkeling and SCUBA diving friendly. The most
popular honeymoon spots include Acapulco, Cancun, and Puerto Vallarta. Acapulco
made our list of the top ten honeymoon beaches in the world.

Italy-- Italy has long been the world center for romance and Italy is generally one of the
most popular Europen honeymoon destinations. Want romance? Spoleto, Bellagio, and
Todi are recommended by Frommer's. For historical sites we recommend the Coliseum,
the Roman Forum, Pompeii, the Vatican Museums, and the Academy Galley art museum.

France-- Whether it's hitting the beach at the French Rivera or seeing Paris from the
Eiffel Tower, France offers a great deal of romance. For history buffs, Château de
Versailles is said to be the most opulent palace in the world and the Louvre contains
some of the world's most famous artwork. The vineyards of Bordeaux and the French
Alps are terrific options for couples looking for a more serene scene.

London, England-- London offers the cosmopolitan couple almost everything they could
want in a honeymoon destination-- culture, history, scenery, and a kicking nightlife.
Westminster Abby, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and the Houses of Parliament are must
sees.

Prague, Czech Republic-- A piece of the Old World in modern Europe, Prague is an exotic
and deeply historical city. This is the place where Mozart lived (the movie Amadeusreally
was primarily shot in Prague) and is famous for it's hundreds of spires. Romantic ideas
include visiting the Prague castles and taking your own dinghie for a row at night on the
Vltava.
