OVERVIEW

Switzerland is the perfect honeymoon destination for couples who’d rather explore than spend their days lounging on the beach. Here, you can expect to discover thousands of years of fascinating history, thought-provoking cultural delights and not forgetting an abundance of natural wonders – including towering mountains, sparkling lakes and enchanting waterfalls.

Situated between Germany, Italy, France and Austria, this small landlocked country is ideal for couples who’d much prefer to stay active during their honeymoon than laze the days away on the sands – and with so much to pack in, you’re sure to enjoy a full itinerary.

If you have never visited Switzerland before, you may wish to start your Swiss adventure by visiting the county’s most popular cities of Geneva and Zurich. You’ll be swept up by the lively atmosphere and be spoiled for choice as to how to spend your time – whether it be visiting the best local bars and restaurants, shopping until you drop or exploring the key sights and attractions.

If you’d prefer to enjoy a traditional Swiss experience (something a little less touristy and urban), you may enjoy venturing to Interlaken – one of Switzerland’s most popular honeymoon destinations. Set amongst the backdrop of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, this is the perfect place if you’d prefer to be close to nature and away from the hustle and bustle. Adventure seekers may enjoy an afternoon session of paragliding here, or if you’d prefer to keep your feet firmly on the ground, why not hop aboard a traditional train to the Schynige Platte? Last but not least –  another romantic destination to add to your honeymoon itinerary is Lucerne, which is known for its medieval architecture set amongst snow-capped mountains – an image sure to take your breath away.
