Paris, the city of lights is not only known because it is the home of the Eiffel Tower, but because of its unique history, contemporary and classic architecture, beautiful scenic spots, famous art museums and galleries and delicious French cuisines.

5. Italy

Two cities in Italy have entered the 5th spot of our list. First is the city of Rome. Full of history, Rome has attracted tourists all over the world, including honeymooners, due to its interesting structural architecture, medieval churches, beautiful scenic spots, museums and Renaissance palaces. Furthermore, located in Rome are St. Peter's Basilica and the famous city-state of Vatican.

What you can do in Rome is to go sight-seeing. Rome hosts a thousand of scenic spots and historical places like the "Collosseum" (Coliseum) or the Amphitheatre which stands for almost a hundred years; the "Domus Aurea, the ruins of the legendary Golden House of Emperor Nero and the "Pantheon", the best place where you can drink in elegance while in Rome. Elegant and classy - the perfect description for a honeymoon vacation spent in Rome.

Next is the floating city of Venice one of Italy's most romantic and beautiful cities. This city is unique because it is built on water in the middle of a lagoon. The only means of public transportation is via gondola, a romantic boat ride along the myriad of canals within the city. This ride is usually the highlight of every honeymoon spent in Venice.

4. Mexico

This country attracts a lot of tourists, including newlyweds, because of the beautiful climate, unspoiled beaches, Mayan archaeology and luxurious accommodations. Tourist destinations include Tulum, Cancun, Cozumel, Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco. In Mexico, they offer all-inclusive packages to tourists especially couples and honeymooners looking for relaxation and romance.

For example, in Tulum, Mexico, you can enjoy luxury and privacy at reasonable prices. Tulum is a site of a walled Mayan city, and it rests on the Yucatan Peninsula, well-known for the world-famous ruins. What you can do here aside on swimming in the beautiful beaches are zip-lining, cavern snorkeling and canopy adventures.

Although not as cheap as a honeymoon vacation in Bali, staying in Mexico will give you the luxury of all-inclusive deals in a reasonable yet still affordable price.

3. Bahamas

Aside from being a stopover point for most Caribbean cruise, there's more to Bahamas than you think. Aside from the Nassau and Paradise Island and the amusement park hotel Atlantis, Bahamas also takes pride in places such as the Andros, Exuma, Green Turtle Cay and others among its 700 isles.

This place is highly accessible for honeymooners especially for those living in the U.S. Cruises and flights are really frequent in Bahamas. Newlyweds and couples will have plenty of options to choose from the vast array of water sports, golf courses and gaming casinos. Furthermore, they have a wide selection of accommodations, fine dining and delicious cuisines or simply dance to the rhythm of Calypso music and party all night. Every couple will definitely enjoy their honeymoon in Bahamas.

2. Hawaii

Many couples and newlyweds dream of spending their vacation or honeymoon the beautiful islands of Hawaii though most of them end up going to another place because they thought the price was too much. However, due to the worldwide recession, Hawaii has become more affordable than ever. Hawaii has always been on top of the list when it comes to "honeymooning" spots.

Among its six islands, Maui is the most popular destination for newlyweds. In Big Island, couples can experience the thrill in various volcanic adventures. In Oahu, you and your partner can go sight-seeing in Hawaii's most historical places like the Pearl Harbor and the Iolani Palace and much more.

Staying in Hawaii wouldn't be that expensive as you think. There are many Hawaii hotels that offer great deals even an all-inclusive package, especially for couples. A couple of things which you can do in Hawaii are diving, snorkeling, kayaking and "SNUBA". You and your partner can also try hiking, mountain biking or just enjoy nature tripping with your honey.

1. Caribbean

Topping our list is St Lucia, Caribbean. Although the Caribbean is filled with alluring honeymoon spots, we will focus on the island of St. Lucia, an island country in the eastern Caribbean Sea, part of the Lesser Antilles. This small island is very ideal for newlyweds and couples due to its private yet fun atmosphere. The island has a mountainous and volcanic terrain, with broad and fertile valleys and a vast array of tropical flora and fauna making this place the perfect Eden for honeymooners.

Adventurous couples can climb the peak of the volcanic mountain Gros Piton, one of the island's two great majestic peaks and is a World Heritage Site. You can also take a tour via Rain Forest Aerial Trams in Babonneau, St. Lucia's most relaxing and serene adventures. You and your partner will tour along the lush tropical rainforest of the Castries Waterworks Reserve, focus on your left and right, and you might find yourself a parrot.

St. Lucia has countless white sand beaches in the north and black volcanic sand beaches in the south. You can also visit Petit Piton, the other "signature" peak. Honeymooners will find their stay in St. Lucia more relaxing and tranquil compared to the other islands in the Caribbean, though there are still places where you can enjoy shopping, bar hopping and nightlife.

This concludes my list of top 10 honeymoon spots in the world. To start planning, I suggest you check out some vacation packages by asking a travel agent or by checking online because each of these places listed here offers various tour packages from an all-inclusive to an air fare plus accommodation or accommodation plus tour only. Availing one of these can surely save you lots of money for your trip.
