Here are the top of best places to honeymoon in Europe.
1. Paris - The City of Light
Tops the list of most romantic cities, and for good reason. A day spent sipping cafe au lait in a tiny side street bistro, window shopping along the ritzy Champs Elysees, and visiting Sacre-Coeur Basilica for a jaw-dropping view of the city, and all the while eyeing the Eiffel Tower, is enough to make any pair of honeymooners feel like they're floating on air. Pack your itinerary with culture and take in modern art at the Centre Pompidou and classic masterpieces at the Louvre. Spend a leisurely evening people-watching and drinking champagne.
2. Venice
Few images are more emblematic of romance than a gondola ride on the waterways of Venice, the city that came in a close second in our survey. Venice's unique layout -- curvy, narrow streets interspersed with canals -- makes it a wonder to explore. Although you shouldn't miss the major tourist spots like Piazza San Marco, the city's main square, and Ponte dell' Accademia, a bridge across the Grand Canal, you should also take a boat off the beaten path.
Travel by a water bus (called vaporetto) to visit the nearby island of Murano, famous for the glass-blowers who practice their trade there, or to the less-traveled Burano, known for its lacework.
3. Rome + Florence : Two more Italian cities finished neck and neck in our poll, each with its own reasons to rank among the world's most romantic cities.
Rome has a more energetic feel, and you can spend each day admiring monuments like the Colosseum and St. Peter's Basilica.
The ambience in Florence is all about the Renaissance, so soak in the art of Michelangelo and Botticelli, and marvel at the dome in the Duomo Cathedral.
4. Barcelona
Even if you're not architecture buffs, nearly everyone who sees the surreal designs of Antoni Gaudi -- which can be found throughout Barcelona -- is enthralled. The most awesome example is the enormous (and still unfinished) basilica Sagrada Familia, which Gaudi worked on for over 40 years. Don't forget to wander around the cool shops and cafes on Las Ramblas, one of Barcelona's most famous and lively streets.
5. Vienna
Austria's capital is totally conducive to taking long, romantic walks. The main streets are laid out in rings, and there are lots of little shops and cafes on streets like Karntnerstrasse. The buildings have the sort of stylized facades that make you really feel like you've traveled to Europe. And don't forget to try a traditional weiner schnitzel, a thinly sliced piece of breaded veal.
6. London
London is the perfect honeymoon destination for travelers who want the culture of Europe with the convenience of an English-speaking country. There's lots to see in the city's museums (trips to the Victoria & Albert and Tate Modern are a must), and if you're there in season, see a play at Shakespeare's Globe Theater. There's no roof and the space in front of the stage is standing room only. After the performance find a bench along the Thames River (preferably one with a view of St. Paul's Cathedral) and simply enjoy being newlyweds.
7. Prague
Nothing says "fairytale" like a castle on a hill, and Prague has just that. Even in the winter (when there are way fewer tourists), Prague's dramatic architecture is a wonder. Spend a day exploring Prague Castle and return to the Old Town Square on the hour so that you can witness the chime of the 600-year-old astronomical clock.
