2016 has peeped out with sudden drops in temperature, rain and snow even at low altitude and there is no better and more auspicious way, waiting for spring to reappear, which will migrate with the imagination to faraway places …
When you think about your honeymoon, sunny tropical beaches and refreshing fruit cocktails come to mind. The tropics are a marvel! It can not be denied, but for those who celebrate their new union in winter, in line with this season, we offer you romantic and snowy destinations for an unforgettable experience. If at least one of the couple is an avid skier, a spa goer or a hardened adventurer or simply love the idea of being pampered by a lit fireplace, consider these winter destinations for your romantic honeymoon.
Prague, Czech Republic: head to Eastern Europe with your new spouse and wander aimlessly through this magical city, where time seems to stand still. Be sure to take a picture on the Charles Bridge, take a tour of the Prague Castle and look up at the Old Town Hall to enjoy the animated spectacle of the astronomical clock at every hour.
Zurich, Switzerland: the city halfway between a metropolis and a medieval village, between nature and architecture, with a historic center that contains a fairytale landscape. It stretches along the banks of the Limmat River that slopes into Lake Zurich, surrounded by green hills and forests and topped by the Swiss Alps. The Zurich West, a former industrial district, is characterized by the fact that today the disused factories host jazz bars, discos and cabarets, as well as studios of designers and cultural centers.
Amsterdam, The Netherlands: the city of canals is definitely cold in winter, but there is something that makes it absolutely magical. The hotel rates are really cheap at this time of the year, so cover yourself well and rent a bike for a lovely tour. If you need to warm up, stop by one of the cozy cafés in the city or go for a boat ride through the canals (most of the boats are covered and heated). We highly recommend a visit to the Van Gogh museum and to the Anne Frank house.
Reykjavik, Iceland. Aurora borealis, thermal springs, glaciers … when it comes to natural landscapes there is nothing more epic and fairytale than Iceland. We suggest you take advantage of the endless outdoor activities that the island offers, such as the steam baths, but there is also so much to see in the capital: beyond the many museums, you can watch the show of artificial light games at the Harpa Concert Hall, recently completed and constructed entirely of glass.
For the snowy destinations of overseas instead your choice should fall on:
Aspen, Colorado. Cross the Rocky Mountains to spend a honeymoon in one of the most important and elite ski resorts. If you are looking for a mix of downhill slopes and relaxing spa treatments, this is the perfect place. The notoriously luxurious city is ideal for a candlelit dinner followed by a stroll through its renowned streets. The Aspen Institute and the Aspen Music Festival and School have made it an international center for entertainment, art, business and intellectual conversation. If you are not afraid of the adventurous and even a little “sinister” experiences, you can easily reach the ghost town of Ashcroft from here.
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA: Nearly all of Yellowstone’s 3 million annual visitors arrive in the summer, so in the off season, couples seeking privacy can easily have this park of 2,219,789 acres all to themselves. Take advantage of all that space to rent snowmobiles and explore the smoking geysers and to observe the incomparable wildlife.
Antarctica: And finally, for you real adventurers, straight to Antarctica for the most epic of honeymoons. With White Desert, a team that organizes luxury excursions through Central Antarctica and accompanies guests from November to January for the exorbitant cost of $ 25.455 per person all-inclusive. You will be guided through all the Antarctic experiences you need to do, from kite skiing, to ice climbing, to visit the 8,000 emperor penguins that colonize the nearby Ekström Ice Shelf. It is not absolutely cheap, but it is definitely the journey of life.
