Honeymoon History

In Western culture, the custom of a newlywed couple going on a holiday together originated in early 19th century Great Britain. Upper-class couples would take a "bridal tour", sometimes accompanied by friends or family, to visit relatives that had not been able to attend the wedding. The practice soon spread to the European continent and was known as English-style voyage in France from the 1820s on.

The most popular honeymoon destinations at the time were the Côte d'Azur and Italy, particularly its seaside resorts and romantic cities such as Rome, Verona or Venice. This lense will guide you to the top 10 best honeymoon destinations around the world. Ready, Steady, Explore!

Italy travel: Venice's Rialto Bridge exploration

Venice, Italy travel: Rialto Bridge exploration. Both sides of the Rialto Bridge provide excellent views of the canals of Venice, Italy. There's another tour company (not Perillo tours) that uses a picture of the Rialto Bridge in Venice on the cover of it's Europe guide book. Not the Eiffel Tower, or Big Ben, or the Leaning Tower of Pisa. They use the Rialto Bridge as their cover representation of all of Europe. It's a powerful sight! www.perillotours.com http://jpmeyer.com

10. Fiji 

Fiji is an exotic destination. It's the exhilaration of a dolphin arching high into the air beside your boat; the long gliding swoop of an orange dove through the rainforest; the smiles of excited children performing in unison to the beat of a hollow log drum. Where the Cloud Breaker, the incredible six-meter wave found offshore at Tavarua, draws surfers from around the world. Fiji is where people wear flowers tucked in their hair, not to impress visitors, but because they like to! It's wonderful place to go for honeymoon!
