A romantic European honeymoon doesn't have to break the bank. Here's how to spend smart without compromising the magic.
Travelling in the shoulder season — May, June, September or October — cuts flight and hotel costs significantly while giving you pleasant weather and fewer crowds. The same hotel can cost noticeably less in late September than in peak August.
A common mistake is trying to see too much. Two well-chosen bases — say Paris and the Swiss Alps, or Rome and the Amalfi Coast — mean fewer transfers, deeper experiences and more value than a rushed multi-city dash.
Splurge on one memorable experience — a Seine dinner cruise, an Alpine railway, a special dinner — and save on the everyday by using regional trains, picnicking on local market food and choosing characterful mid-range hotels over five-star towers. We build honeymoon itineraries exactly this way.
