Unique European Honeymoon Destinations

Travel + Leisure Logo By Patricia Doherty of Travel + Leisure | Slide 1 of 16: <p>Beachside <a href="http://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-guide/barcelona">Barcelona</a>, popular for its beautiful and varied architecture, eclectic nightlife, delicious seafood, and cosmopolitan atmosphere, is a vacationer’s paradise. For another beautiful city with a similar resume, couples should look to Cologne as they make honeymoon plans.</p> <p>This city on the Rhine River was founded by the Romans in 38 B.C., and parts of the ancient Roman wall and aqueduct are still evident. The gorgeous Gothic Cologne Cathedral, the city’s most notable symbol, took 600 years to build. In contrast, the postmodern quarter of the city has marvelous examples of avant-garde architecture. </p> <p>Cruise the Rhi ne for views of the city or ride the cable car over the river for some fun and a different perspective. Nightlife is lively, with more than 70 clubs featuring jazz, rhythm and blues, reggae, and techno music through the wee hours. Dining options range from Michelin-starred restaurants to cafés, beer gardens, and stand-up snack bars where you can get a freshly baked pretzel to go with your locally brewed Kolsch beer. </p> <p>Stay at the five-star <a href="http://www.lhw.com/hotel/Excelsior-Hotel-Ernst-Cologne-Germany">Excelsior Hotel Ernst</a> directly opposite the Cathedral or the nearby <a href="https://cologne.regency.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html">Hyatt Regency Cologne</a>, with its spa, pool, Finnish sauna, and Roman steam bath.</p>
