What to do and see in Alabama, United States: The Best Things to do for Honeymoon

March 15, 2022 Karren Gelb

If you head for the hills in the state you’ll end up in the northern sector where the inspiring mountains and attractions like the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, the Blue & Gray Museum in Decatur and the Ave Maria Grotto in Cullman represent the diversity of experiences available in the area. In the middle of the state you’ll find Birmingham, an urban center with great attractions and museums, and Tuscaloosa, the quintessential college town and home to the University of Alabama. For beach lovers, sandy destinations like Dauphin Island near Mobile, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach offer beautiful beaches, superb golf, fantastic seafood restaurants and heaping helpings of Southern hospitality. For those who love to chase the white dimpled ball, Alabama offers one of the best golf values anywhere. The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, a collection of 468 holes at 11 different sites across the state, features top-notch, championship style courses at affordable rates.

Bellingrath Gardens and Home

Enjoy 65 acres of year-round floral pageantry in a Southern estate garden with blooms and beauties every day of the year. It is our passion at Bellingrath Gardens and Home to preserve and enhance the 65-acre garden and grand estate home of Walter and Bessie Bellingrath.

Reviewed By TAskewTraveler - Arlington, United States

I spent several formative years in Mobile, so Bellingrath's was not new to me. I hadn't been there in over a decade, so I'm pleased to report that it's still a delight, particularly when you have perfect springtime weather and a lazy Sunday afternoon. When you purchase your ticket, you'll get a map of the gardens as well as an insert that lists what's currently in bloom. It's worth it to add the home tour to your ticket if you love antiques and/or ceramics, silver, and china (although many ceramics are also available for viewing in what used to be the carriage house, which does not require a separate admission price from that of the gardens). If you're traveling in the area around the winter holidays, consider going for the Magic Christmas in Lights--the last time I went (granted, over a decade ago), it was truly magical.
