Four of the top honeymoon destinations in the United States:
- Florida: There’s a reason it’s called the sunshine state. Florida has some of the best weather you can find, along with beautiful beaches and palm trees. Florida attractions include Disneyworld and the Florida Keys, a group of tiny, connected islands off the tip of Florida.
- Colorado: This state is the outdoorsman’s (or woman’s) dream. It’s famed “red rock” is everywhere, and affords wonderful rock climbing. For winter honeymoons, Colorado offers skiing, and hiking is possible any time of the year. Pike’s Peak makes a wonderfully scenic hike. It’s a 13.6 mile round trip, but transportation down is available at the top if you prefer.
- Hawaii: A great option for a Hawaiian vacation is to take a cruise. That way you can enjoy the beautiful scenery completely free of any stress or hassle. Gourmet meals are provided on board, as is entertainment, such as dancing. Many cruises stop at several ports, and you’ll always have a great view from on deck.
- New York City: Enjoy the skyline of New York City, historic Central Park, and some great shopping. You can visit landmarks such as the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. This is one location, though, that you may not want to venture during winter, since New York’s temperature plunges below zero for several months.
