Our honeymoon in Europe was absolutely magical, and we spent around €3,500 (roughly ₹3,00,000) for a 10-day journey across Italy and Switzerland. Every moment felt like something out of a movie, and it was worth every penny!
Flights: We found amazing deals for ₹70,000 for both of us. We flew directly into Rome, and as we approached the city, the sight of the ancient ruins from above felt like the start of an unforgettable adventure.
Accommodation: We stayed in a charming boutique hotel in Rome, with a view of the Spanish Steps just outside our window. The sunsets from our room were breathtaking—just the two of us, sipping wine and watching the golden hues paint the sky. That was around €500 for 4 nights. From there, we traveled to Florence and Zurich, staying in beautiful Airbnbs with cozy, candle-lit rooms, for about €1,200 in total.
Food: Italian food was, of course, divine. But it wasn’t just the food—it was the experience of having dinner at a rooftop restaurant in Rome with a view of the illuminated Colosseum. We shared our first glass of wine together as a married couple there, laughing over how surreal it all felt. Our meals averaged around €50-60 per day, totaling €600 for the trip. And those gelato dates at night, while strolling through the cobblestone streets of Florence? Magical.
Romantic Activities:
In Rome, we took a moonlit walk along the Tiber River, hand-in-hand, with the ancient bridges reflected in the water. We paused to share a kiss under the glow of streetlights—one of those moments that truly felt like time stopped.
In Florence, we spent an afternoon on a private wine-tasting tour in Tuscany. As we sat on a terrace overlooking the rolling hills, the sun setting behind vineyards, I could hardly believe how perfect it all was. We even picked a bottle of wine to bring back with us to savor on our first anniversary.
One of the most romantic moments was in Zurich, where we spent a day at Lake Zurich, with its serene waters and the Alps in the background. We took a private boat cruise and held hands as we drifted along the lake, surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Later, we rode the cable car to Mount Pilatus, where we shared a quiet, peaceful moment at the top, wrapped up in each other’s arms.
Transportation: Traveling by train through Italy and Switzerland was like a fairytale—gliding through picturesque landscapes, sharing a cup of coffee, and just enjoying each other’s company. The total cost for all our train rides was €300.
Every single moment was filled with romance and adventure. From the cobbled streets of Rome to the serene lakes of Switzerland, our honeymoon was a perfect blend of love, culture, and exploration. Honestly, it was beyond what we had imagined—each place felt like it was made for us. We will always cherish these memories. The love, laughter, and shared dreams make this trip an unforgettable chapter in our lives."**
