% Destinations that will make winter more fun

Icicle, fireplaces, snow-covered mountains and long walks through the white wonderland.
It’s winter, the most beautiful time of the year!

Ohh wait, a quick reality check out the window – gray skies, wet roads, uncomfortable cold. Not quite the crisp, cool winter here that you remember from your childhood. But we do not give up hope yet, because there are still some places where our winter dream comes true. Let’s go on a journey.

1. Hungary

If you dream of long walks with frosty breath in a beautiful city, Budapest is the right place for you! Here you can go ice skating outdoors in the Városligeti Műjégpálya City Park as well as visit various Christmas markets and warm up afterwards in one of the many steaming historical thermal baths.

2. Finnland

You don’t feel like walking but still want to enjoy the winter wonderland, reindeer sleds will pull you through the icy nature in Rovaniemi, Finnland, and give you unique insights into life in the Arctic Circle. Let’s say hi to Santa Claus! After having this unique experience, the ice hotel in Jukkasjärvi is waiting for you and welcomes you with some coooold drinks.

3. Sweden

In comparison, our four-legged friends in Swedish Lapland provide a bit more action! Unforgettable moments on a sled dog tour through dense forests and the view of the northern polar lights. What warms the heart and the soul more than cuddling some cute huskies?

4. Mexico

And as we are really frozen we need a warm coffee on the plane and a few days of sun in Mexico! For a few days, we escape to Tulum, where we can explore ancient Mayan ruins, dive and snorkel in cenotes, and end the day relaxing with tacos and margaritas. Known for its culture, beautiful landscapes and amazing food, it’s the perfect winter escape for everyone and leaves nothing to be desired.

5. Egypt

You’ve been to Mexico and tacos don’t taste good to you? How about pyramids instead of ruins, the Red Sea instead of cenotes and falafel instead of tacos? Egypt is also a great place to refuel our vitamin D levels and have an adventurous time. Work and recreation don’t have to be mutually exclusive either, a coworking trip is the perfect way to combine both of them. Working together is a lot more fun. After work is done, an Egyptian TripLeader shows you her home country and gives you deep and unique insights into the culture of this fascinating country.

6. Canary Islands

Another perfect combination of long-distance travel and wanderlust are the Canary Islands! With mild temperatures all year round, they make the perfect getaway for frostbite sufferers. From hiking to snorkeling and going out in the evening, there’s never a dull moment here! And if one island isn’t enough, there are 6 more to explore! Only a short flight away from Europe, it also offers the optimal conditions for a short trip.

You see, the options are endless and you don’t have to go into hibernation for the winter month.
From exploring a cold winter wonderland like in your imagination to recharging your sun level in Mexico.
There are many cheap direct flights from Europe and many travel enthusiasts who want to give in or escape the winter! Now it’s up to you, the pain of making a choice – but I can calm you, the decision will be great anyways!
