Madeira
#5 in Best Honeymoon Destinations in Europe
The striking mountainous landscape that makes up this Portuguese archipelago appeals to adventurous couples. If you enjoy hiking, you won’t want to miss climbing Pico do Arieiro or trekking one of Madeira’s scenic levada paths. For another adrenaline rush, cozy up to your significant other during a basket car (or toboggan) ride from Monte to Livramento. After you’ve gotten your fill of heart-pumping adventures, sink your toes into the sand of one of the island’s spellbinding beaches.
Cinque Terre
#6 in Best Honeymoon Destinations in Europe
The five seaside villages that make up this strip of northwestern Italy’s craggy coastline are both awe-inspiring and romantic. After hiking this UNESCO World Heritage Site’s scenic cliff-side trails and admiring the towns’ pastel buildings, head to Fegina beach in Monterosso al Mare to sunbathe or cool off in the Ligurian Sea. Or, for an unforgettable honeymoon experience, take a boat tour to get a full view of Cinque Terre’s world-famous landscape.
