Jetting-off on a honeymoon usually results in a once in a lifetime trip and experience. So when booking a nuptial-inspired holiday, romantic destinations such as – the Maldives and the Seychelles – first spring to mind.

But as of late, many honeymooners have been turning their attention to travel hotspots a little closer to home. With one country quickly becoming a favourite in 2018 with its snow-capped mountains and gushing waterfalls. Of course, it’s Switzerland.

As much as Switzerland seems like a place plucked from a postcard, it’s usually associated with its colder climes, making it an unusual choice. But, according to Pinterest, pins for the European destination as a honeymoon option are up by 856% since last year. With the beautiful country of Bali up by 145%, and opting to embark on an African safari up by 219%.

From excellent transport links and cosmopolitan cities to breath-taking scenery, the country offers a lot to travellers looking for a memorable trip. Just take a look at some of these stunning snaps of Switzerland on Instagram:
