Quick answers
When is the best time to go?
Start with May, June & September. Choose August only with a written reason.
Is this a good honeymoon pick?
Romance score 96/100 sits next to crowd 92/100 — read both.
How crowded does it get?
On red months, empty midday or change region.
What should I budget per day?
Use bands in EUR. Mid is the baseline. Not a live fare.
Do I need a visa?
Schengen short-stay rules apply for many passports.
How many days do I need?
Countries breathe at 7–12 days, honeymoon islands at 5–8. Continents: pick one region.
A Amalfi Coast honeymoon reads crowd 92 next to romance 96.
An emptied midday matters more than a floral arch.

- Density — The density that works for two can differ from the guidebook cover.

Caution
- Overcrush — Midday in August is a queue, not a romance.
- Overplot — A honeymoon that moves every day is a business trip.
- Audience — Sunrise viewpoints have an audience. Lower the expectation or go earlier.
What remains is the empty afternoon, not the queue.
