Chilly Honeymoon Spots You'll Love

For your post-wedding vacation, why not skip the tropical hot spots and embark on a much cooler adventure? These destinations have incredible fall and winter activities, sights, and experiences — perfect for any newlywed couple. If you’re looking for a honeymoon destination where you won’t have to beat the heat, opt for one of these gorgeous spots instead.

Finland

There are a few reasons why Finland is considered one of the happiest countries in the world. We like to think the cleansing and peace-seeking nature of Finnish sauna culture has something to do with it! Kemi, Espoo, and Helsinki are romantic spots with all kinds of landscapes that you won’t want to miss.

Colorado

There’s so much to do and see in Colorado, and it just so happens to be one of the chillier U.S. states year round. From hiking the Rocky Mountains and skiing in Aspen to indulging in the state’s fascinating beer culture, Colorado is a cool pick — pun intended.

Queenstown, New Zealand

Stunning lakeside views, wine tasting, and sunrise hot-air balloon rides! If you’re planning to have your honeymoon in the coming months, you’ll be happy to know that our summer is New Zealand’s winter, making it the perfect destination for a romantic, hibernal trip.

Zermatt, Switzerland

This cozy, yet lively town at the foot of the Matterhorn has so much to offer couples on their honeymoon. Aside from the unbelievable view, Zermatt features rich cultural heritage, outdoor activities, and mouthwatering local cuisine. The best time to visit is between June and September, but feel free to visit later in the year if you’re game to brace the much colder temperatures!

Salt Lake City, Utah

Explore the natural wonders of Big Cottonwood Canyon, tour Temple Square, and learn how to curl! This city has so much to offer beyond its top-tier winter sports and activities. And, of course, a visit to the Great Salt Lake is a must, no matter what time of year you visit.

Reykjavik, Iceland

You can experience so many natural wonders in Reykjavik, like the Northern Lights and the famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa. If relaxation and immersing yourself in beauty is your main honeymoon goal, this is the destination for you and your partner.

Prague, Czech Republic

Appreciate the arts and music at the National Theatre, shop at the markets, take in Prague’s history at a number of museums, and enjoy a Medieval dinner experience. Not only is Prague a gorgeous city, but it also has something for everyone.
