The Top 10 Honeymoon Destinations

Honeymoons aren't just for romance. These days, many couples seek adventure and entertainment from their honeymoons. However, with so many exciting destinations to choose from, picking a honeymoon destination can quickly turn from a fun task to an overwhelming ordeal.

To help, we've picked some of the top honeymoon destinations:

• Cancun: Cancun is a well-known destination for newlyweds. With its beautiful beaches and relatively close proximity to major U.S. cities, Cancun is a honeymoon hotspot. Cancun honeymoons can be easily arranged as complete packages, making it not only a great destination but a headache-free honeymoon as well.
  
  
• Fiji: Fiji honeymoons are becoming increasingly popular, with Fiji ranking high on the list of fall and winter honeymoon destinations. Fiji is a picturesque isle in the South Pacific, with gorgeous coral reefs that are in full bloom come October, when temperatures are in the 80s.
  
  
• Paris: The City of Lights is world-renowned for its romantic aura. On a Parisian honeymoon, you can see historic sites such as the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum and, of course, the Eiffel Tower. Shopping is world-class in Paris, and nothing rivals the city's cuisine.
  
  
• New York City: There is something electric about a New York City honeymoon. Couples can see the famous sites (the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, Times Square, etc.) and take in a Broadway show before sampling some of the city's finest fare. New York is lovely in the fall, before the cold strikes and when the leaves change into magnificent shades of red and gold.
  
  
• The Bahamas: The Bahamas is another excellent honeymoon choice for couples. It is an archipelago made up of 700 islands that stays comfortably warm (between 70° F and 75° F) from September to May.
  
  
• Italy: Italy is full of gorgeous sites, romance and fine food and is quickly becoming a top honeymoon destination. Historic sites allow couples to peek inside ancient Rome while Milan and Florence offer modern fashion and shopping hubs. Couples on an Italian honeymoon will want to be sure to take in an authentic Venetian gondola ride.
  
  
• Hawaii: Hawaii is quite possibly the most popular American honeymoon destination. And why not? Hawaii has stunning beaches and great surfing. The islands are also drenched in tropical romance, all of which Americans can enjoy without a passport.
  
  
• London: For couples seeking to check out a chic city, London may be their honeymoon destination of choice. London's nightlife is said to be some of the best in the world, and there's no shortage of historical landmarks in the city. London also offers honeymooners plenty of shops to explore and plays to see.
  
  
• Australia: Australia not only has adventure to spare, but it is also an excellent winter honeymoon destination, because the country's seasons are inverted compared to America's. This means that a couple that is married in the winter in the Northern hemisphere can enjoy a warm honeymoon Down Under. Couples can tour the famed Sydney Opera House and explore the outback or spend their days lounging on the beaches, swimming, surfing or exploring the Great Barrier Reef.
  
  
• Las Vegas: Vegas is a great honeymoon choice for couples. The City of Sin offers not only great restaurants and accommodations but also ample entertainment options, from roller coasters atop towering hotels to concerts to gambling. Las Vegas honeymoon packages are economical and also provide tons of fun.
