Honeymoon in a . . . hostel?

Honeymoon habits have changed in recent years as couples are looking to make the most of their once in a lifetime holiday. 

More people are opting for an extended honeymoon adventure instead of a week in a five star luxury resort, or even combining the both. Staying in hostels means that honeymooners can make their budgets stretch further allowing them to travel to destinations further afield or lengthen their adventure to months instead of weeks.

So whether taking a short hop city tour  throughout Europe or taking part in the upcoming trend of an extended adventure packed trip to South America or Australia, the experts at  Hostelworld.com have selected hostels from some of the popular honeymoon destinations from around the world to give your marriage the perfect start.
