Suggestion for honeymoon vacation?

So....where should one go for honeymoon without burning a hole in the pocket?

I would like to go to eastern/central Europe, but I am open to other suggestions.

1.2-1.6 lakh is my budget.

PS: no places that has beaches. I don't have a body to roam around on the beaches with shorts.

Prague is so beautiful and quite cheap (accommodation and food) compared to other European cities.

Had a good feedback for it..Though it was before the current tensions in that Caucasus region..

As said Prague is a good choice, as is Budapest. Outside of Eastern Europe - Istanbul is even less expensive.

In Italy - Sicily costs the same or less than Prague or Budapest and some cities in Tuscany cost a bit less or more. The there are smaller towns like Trento in Northern Italy which are less than half the cost. It all depends on what you're looking for aside from not beaches.

Yes, I was thinking of Prague/Budapest as well. Italy won't be safe because of how widespread corona is.

Primary goal is to just chill, roam around, have good food and of course lots of romance.

As having studied Tourism, coastal Greece and Polynesia/Micronesia islands would be a good choice since it won't be crowded and will be budget friendly.

You would want to avoid major cities due to corona. Plus it would be better without having people around all the time when your out of the hotel 😆

As long as we are in a global pandemic - Your home

Once the WHO believes pandemic risks are over - Bosnia, Croatia, Romania, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Colombia, Guatemala
