Best Honeymoons in the United States

The best honeymoon destination is the place that you and your fiancé have agreed has the climate, activities, and location you want most and that fits your budget. Do you both want to snorkel in the tropics, lie on a hot beach or climb mountains, museum trek or antique shop, gaze out a window at a sparkling skyline or at a spectacular waterfall? You don’t have to leave the country and spend a lot of time and money on travel if you are looking for romantic and exciting places to honeymoon. Here are some of the best and most romantic/exciting places for a honeymoon in the United States:

A City Honeymoon
New York is one of America’s best honeymoon cities. With world-class shows, museums and zoos, restaurants, shopping and parks, New York is exciting any time of the year. Chicago in the summer is also a beautiful and fascinating city to visit with a great zoo, beautiful museums and waterfront, and there’s always Michigan Avenue. Heading south in winter, there is the ever-magical Miami area with Miami Beach, South Beach, Key Biscayne or Key West to visit. New Orleans in the winter is also great fun, with Mardi Gras in February and the exotic world of the French Quarter to explore. San Francisco is a beautiful and romantic city in the summer, with cool breezes that follow you to Golden Gate Park, Chinatown, amazing restaurants and day trips to the wine country and the Redwood National Park. And there is always Las Vegas, a city that never sleeps with a world of entertainments that cannot be matched anywhere.

An Outdoor Honeymoon
For those of you who want adventure in the scenic outdoors, there is no place like Niagara Falls for spectacular views and romantic walks.

The Great Smoky Mountains provide some of the most beautiful vistas and climbing trails in the East, with quaint and luxurious bed and breakfasts or lovely resort towns such as Blowing Rock and Asheville. New England offers the cool summer pleasures of a romantic honeymoon on Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket Island, Cape Cod, Newport or a leisurely trip up the seacoast of Maine. The West has the grandeur of Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon or Yosemite where you can rough it in a rustic cabin or tent or stay in a luxurious resort hotel within driving distance of the parks. And of course, there are the great winter skiing honeymoons in such exciting places as Vale and Sun Valley in the West and Killington and Stowe in the East.
