Trip Ideas Honeymoon Destinations This Country Is the Top Honeymoon Destination of 2022, According to Expedia Expedia just released a report on honeymoon trends — and here's where newlyweds are heading this year. By Dobrina Zhekova Dobrina Zhekova Facebook Instagram Twitter Website Dobrina Zhekova discovered her passion for travel at age 17 after spending four days in a bus traveling 2,500 miles from her home country of Bulgaria all the way to Lisbon (the bus broke down in the middle of the night in Serbia, but she still enjoyed the trip). She moved to New York City in 2010, and after completing her M.A. in Journalism, she started working at Elle.com. She is now a freelance writer based in Alexandria, VA, and her writing has appeared on InStyle.com, Vogue.com, Departures.com, Elle.com, and Sunset.com among many others. She covers travel, design, architecture, art, and weddings. When she is not learning a new language (her latest obsession is Icelandic), she daydreams about traveling to remote islands. Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Published on June 14, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Joe Daniel Price/Getty Images The pandemic put a halt not only on a lot of people's wedding plans but also on their honeymoons. In fact, a whopping 97% of couples were forced to cancel, downsize, or scrap their post-nuptial trips over the last two years, according to a new survey by Expedia. But as COVID-19 restrictions lift and countries open up to travelers again, 2022 is projected to be a big year for both weddings and honeymoons. In fact, make that "mega-moons," because according to Expedia, 53% of couples plan on spending more on their honeymoons than they originally budgeted, and an impressive 83% are planning multiple honeymoons.

Joe Daniel Price/Getty Images Most couples said they are hoping to plan a trip across the pond that includes a mix of urban and countryside experiences in Scotland and England. Expedia offers a dream itinerary that's gaining popularity on their site. It starts with a tour of Edinburg's medieval Old Town and a train ride along the majestic Glenfinnan Viaduct built 100 feet above the ground (the landmark also served as a filming location for the Harry Potter movies). Then, your romantic adventure continues through the Scottish Highlands with landmarks like Urquhart Castle at Loch Ness, St. Andrews Cathedral, Culloden Battlefield, and Clava Cairns. Your honeymoon would end in London, where Expedia recommends checking out Kensington Gardens as well as some of the English capital's trendy restaurants and The Connaught Bar, crowned the World's Best Bar several times. Visits to Bath, Windsor Castle, and Stonehenge are also part of the itinerary. Alexander Spatari/Getty Images Expedia's list of top honeymoon destinations also includes Dubai, which ranked second, and Paris at No. 3. According to the poll, almost half of respondents, or 48%, said they wanted to visit museums, art galleries, and shows, and 42% prioritized restaurants, bars, and clubs on their honeymoon itineraries. Multi-destination honeymoons are also trending among newlyweds, with 18% saying they hoped to check out more than one destination. You can read Expedia's full honeymoon trends report here.
