Places to Visit for the Mini-Moon for Newlyweds

Mini-moons, the name given to a short break taken by newlyweds, are on the rise. They are normally taken ahead of a longer honeymoon so couples usually look for destinations closer to home, leaving the big trip to a later date.

But with only a short amount of time away, you want to make sure you make the right decision and get the most out of it. It’s still a very special holiday, after all.

So here are a few ideas of where you can head on your mini-moon adventures.

Georgia

If you fancy exploring somewhere a little different, then spend your mini-moon in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. Here you will get the best of both worlds as the city is influenced by several cultures both European and Asian.

Explore the rustic beauty and cobblestone streets of the old town, and then cross the river and take in the contemporary architecture. Head up to Mt Mtatsminda via the funicular and take in views on the entire city from Narikala Fortress. After a busy day of exploring you can settle in a café and try the delicious local food and wine the country is famous for.

This stunning city is the perfect size to explore in a few days, so you have time to take in all it has to offer.

Sri Lanka

There is plenty to see and do in Sri Lanka, an island that is home to no less than eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This is the perfect destination for wildlife lovers. Here you can enjoy a safari tour of one of the national parks. You’ll spot everything from leopards to water buffalo or watch as elephants walk down the local streets for a shower in the river.

There’s so much to do in close proximity. You can go trekking through the rainforest before relaxing on the beautiful beaches.

Austria

Austria’s capital Vienna, located on the Danube River, is a beautiful and atmospheric city. This makes it the ideal place for a romantic break.

Vienna is known as the City of Music due to a musical heritage that includes composers Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss and Brahms. Alongside this it has a rich history, which you can take in as you stroll around the city streets. Visit the palace of Schönbrunn and Hofburg by day and then wile away the evenings at the lively cafes and bars.
