Very often it comes down to the classic debate of either wanting to take a city break to explore cultural sights and adventure around different towns or opting for a beach getaway to properly unwind and sip cocktails in the sun.
Top locations to embrace the relaxed romantic vibes include a break in Hawaii, while putting on the tourist hat and going sightseeing in central London will suit those newlyweds that don't like to sit still.
