Getting married is the best excuse to take the romantic getaway you and your partner have always dreamed about. The Honeymoon Handbook (Lonely Planet / $17.99 / January 17, 2017) is a welcome planning tool for making it come true.
This is Lonely Planet’s first guide exclusively for honeymoons. The Honeymoon Handbook features over 25 of the most exciting locations for couples – from Andalusia to Zambia. It starts with a quiz to determine what kind of trip to take based on what you two love the most, whether it’s backpacking in Borneo, touring Tuscany or cruising around Cuba.
Beyond the destination sections, The Honeymoon Handbook also offers safari-, luxury-, island- and family-themed getaway ideas – even how-to’s on so-called ‘minimoons’ and getting married abroad. Other features include budget breakdowns and alternative destinations, and an LGBT-friendly indicator for same-sex couples, rating each location from 1 to 5.
