Yes, there is no point in comparing trips to Russia with a vacation on the coast of Italy or the south of France - not because one is better than the other, but because these destinations are too different. But newlyweds are also different - and if you don’t necessarily have to have authentic French croissants for breakfast on your honeymoon, these places may be suitable for you.

Karelia
Karelia is an entire republic with amazing northern nature and a special national flavor. The beauty is that you can go here from St. Petersburg by car and visit several corners of this region at once. Both those who like to relax with a tent and go fishing, and those who prefer a “civilized” holiday in hotels will like it here. You can also visit Karelia by water - the ship will take you to Kizhi and the capital, the city of Petrozavodsk. It will be important for religious people to visit Valaam. And here you can take amazing photos in the Ruskeala marble canyon, visit several waterfalls at once, find petroglyphs that are more than 6000 years old... In general, a honeymoon in Karelia is a real adventure!
We suggest making a white gold engagement ring with diamonds as clear as the waters of Lake Onega as the talisman of your honeymoon trip to Karelia. The austere beauty of these rings is so similar to the discreet beauty of the landscapes of the generous Karelian Peninsula!

General recommendations
- It is advisable to plan everything in advance:
- How will you get there?
- Where will you live?
- What kind of entertainment program will there be?
- What is the budget?
- It’s best to go where neither of the couple has been before, then your impressions will be much brighter.
- It is advisable to travel on your own, and not according to a tourist program. Again, there will be more spontaneity and, accordingly, more vivid impressions. But this is recommended only if at least one of you has experience in wild tourism.
- It’s better to start preparing (at least informationally) a couple of months in advance.
- Don't forget to share your photos by posting them on social media and tagging them with the hashtag #START TRAVELING.

Ideal time for a honeymoon
Although traditionally the honeymoon travel season runs from April to October, hotel sales from international tour operators show that the most popular months are July and August. During this period, the best hotels collapse instantly. This is not surprising because the weather is very good at this time. Most often, newlyweds go on a romantic vacation two or three days after the wedding. July and August are the hottest, but the most valuable and most popular months of the season, so prices are higher. However, planning your trip in advance and booking your hotel early can really save you money. often there are discounts or simply a large selection of available seats. The best way to start planning a trip is six months before the celebration. You will not only get the hotel you like, but also book it. It is no secret that tour operators apply attractive conditions for the advance purchase of packages and special discounts for newlyweds. Therefore, if you are planning a wedding holiday in the summer, it is better to book a trip before the New Year.
Your citizenship status will soon change significantly. You will become husband and wife. Such a radical transformation will certainly affect your entire life and its current routine. But for now, don’t think about it, but enjoy the present!
Kamchatka
A flight to Kamchatka (otherwise there is no way to get here) is a very unusual honeymoon trip that you will definitely remember. It feels like here you are communicating directly with the planet - the energy of Kamchatka is unique. The harsh region of volcanoes and glaciers will delight you with geysers and hot springs in which you can swim, the beauty of lakes and waterfalls. Of course, it is better to visit here in summer or early autumn. Look at the photo of the Putorana Plateau to get inspired for your trip to Kamchatka. Of course, such a holiday is not suitable for everyone - there are many walking routes here.
