Eureka Springs, Arkansas
Ever wonder how you can impress your beloved with a dream honeymoon?
With all the fantastic options depicted on travel oriented
television shows and state run hospitality advertisements, the
options are truly endless.
Many travel agencies offer payment programs to make your ideal
getaway within grasp. Even when money is not an issue, everyone
loves to get a good bargain. Many newlyweds often report having
buyer’s remorse after splurging on an expensive week and having to
pay for it, literally for years to come.
One option for a great escape honeymoon can be found stateside at a
very impressive price tag. Eureka Springs, Arkansas is a lovely burg
nestled in the mountains about an hour from Branson. Eureka offers
the visitor a trip back in time. The historic district is a maze of
multi-level streets that lend themselves to pedestrians. There are
horse and buggy rides and trolleys for those who prefer to tour in
style.
Eureka is a town that caters to visitors as many hotels are
available and often offer romance and honeymoon packages. This is a
town of wedding chapels and numerous B&B’s. Quaint stores offer all
sorts of shopping, but the big draw is the scenery and the art. Art
galleries are plentiful as this Victorian village prides itself on
having an enormous artist population. There are also many
restaurants offering everything from Caribbean cuisine to authentic
Mexican, German and local fare.
Eureka is a town of great history with ghost tours and even a
Carnegie library. But, don’t be fooled, Eureka does rock! Whether
you are into low key piano bars or line dancing honky-tonk revelry,
this town has it all. Eureka has a Jazz Festive and a Blues Fest
every year. Don’t dismay if you travel off-season, you can usually
find a variety of live music year ‘round as many bars pepper the
historic downtown and even have jam sessions and acoustic music
during the week.
If you love the outdoors, Eureka Springs will also fill your bill.
There are many natural springs to visit and other adventures may be
booked through most major hotels such as The Crescent and Basin
Park. Table Rock Lake virtually connects the Eureka area to Branson
and is a haven for boating and fishing. Beaver Lake is also nearby
and offers trophy Striper fishing. There are hunting expeditions in
the area on a seasonal basis and diving tours on Table Rock Lake.
Eureka Springs is surrounded by nearby towns that offer numerous
guided cave tours.
Just in case you still have energy left after checking out all
Eureka has to offer, you can buzz over to Branson, Missouri. Branson
is about an hour away and offers shows, great restaurants and
fabulous shopping. Branson is a bargain hunter’s paradise with two
outlet malls and high end deals and scrumptious delights at the
pedestrian mall, Branson Landing.
