Located right in the heart of Europe, balancing western and east European sensibilities, Austria makes for a great Honeymoon destination. Vienna and its classical theatres, trams, inherent sophistication with its fancy Hofburg Architecture and its bistro cultures, Salzburg comes a close second, with its Sound Of Music hangover.

This coastal nation is a favourite with the backpacker, but despite being a budget friendly location, the country has plenty to offer, and for a variety of reasons it features on top choice country for a honeymoon.

4. CROATIA:
We fell in love with Croatia, when we were there last year! The classical Zagreb with its bicycles and parks, and such pretty streets. Move over to the coastal Istria for a flavor of Italy without the mad rush of tourists. Rovinj is a fairy tale like town in Istria, and we wanted to set up home there.
The western coast with the beautiful islands off Split, Hvar and Bric, to name a few, and the sea organ of Zadar or the pop culture references at Dubrovnik. For those who don’t want to travel too much, Zagreb, Rovinj and Plitvice will make for a great circuit, you can rent your own car and just take off! Ad a Dober Dan it promises to be!
