Top Honeymoon Destinations
The search for that perfect dream honeymoon destination can be daunting for many couples. With so many romantic
spots in the world, where do you begin?
With the best, of course!
Modern Bride Magazine "Best of" List for 2009
We realize that what's "the best" for some is not for "the best" for others, but, when searching for that
perfect honeymoon spot, it sometimes helps to know what others have chosen. For example, every year Modern Bride
magazine polls around 6,000 plus travel agents to come up with the year's Top 50 Honeymoon Destinations. You might
be interested in knowing the top 20 for 2009. According to Modern Bride Magazine, they are:
- Italy
- Hawaii
- Tahiti
- France
- Greece
- Bali
- Mexico
- Fiji
- Maldives
- St. Lucia
- Turks & Caicos
- Costa Rica
- Seychelles
- Anguilla
- St. Barts
- South Africa
- Thailand
- California
- BVI
- Australia
Now, Italy's a pretty big country, but we would venture a guess that Venice has to be one of the top cities in
Italy for Honeymooning couples. Nothing says romance like a sunset gondola ride through the canals of Venice.
You'll also notice that tropical destinations or locations famous for having beautiful beaches appear to
dominate the list. Again, the sun, the sand, the beautiful sunsets - they all add up to one very romantic
experience.
Is the Modern Bride Magazine list the only "Top Honeymoon Destinations" list out there? Absolutely not. It seems
everyone weighs in on what they consider the best honeymoon spots.
