Romance, culture and local gastronomy
A city break as a honeymoon comes with a romantic atmosphere. Go for a city with plenty of history and a rich culinary offer. Stroll through narrow streets and admire beautiful old buildings. Visit the most beautiful parks and gardens, grab a terrace - and who knows, maybe your city of choice also has a beach? A city trip as a honeymoon also offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy delicious food and drink - an unforgettable experience for true foodies!
Lots to do and see
On a city trip, you will discover a wealth of activities and sights. Whether you want to shop together or visit museums - there is always something to do. Moreover, a city's main attractions are often within walking distance of each other. Enjoy pleasant sight-seeing walks with your partner, from one sight to another.
Short travel time
Don't have much time to go on a honeymoon? Then a city trip is a very practical solution. A city trip also offers you the advantage of short travel times. From Belgium you can reach numerous beautiful cities, which are only a few hours away by car or plane. Less time on the road means more time on site with your partner. Moreover, in many cities you enjoy good public transport connections, which makes getting around the location easy.
Budget-friendly
A city break can also be a budget-friendly option for a honeymoon. Compared to an all-inclusive resort or a long holiday in a tropical location, a city trip can often be cheaper.
Unique experience
A city trip as a honeymoon might also allow you to visit a new city together, and discover what it has to offer. You are guaranteed to create new memories together that you will cherish forever.
