Agadir, Morocco – February Weather

What’s the weather like in Agadir in February

Temperature

The month of February has weather very similar to January. The month starts off with average lows of 8°C and ends with a slightly warmer average low of 10°C. This slow but steady warming trend continues with the average highs. At the beginning of February most days reach 23°C and by the end 25°C. Overall monthly average temperature lows are 10°C and highs are 20°C.  It still has never reached freezing in the past 19 years of record keeping with the lowest temperature on record being 3°C. Temperatures as high as 33°C have occurred.

It may be winter in Agadir, but the area remains a popular holiday destination with all those looking to enjoy some mild, pleasant weather and plenty of sun on their winter break.

Average Sunshine and Daylight Hours

Agadir sees an average of 9 hours of sunshine each day throughout this month. The daylight hours continue to creep upward and by the end of the month the average length of day is almost 12 hours.

Average Sea Temperature

The average temperature of the sea is 17°C.  Sure, the weather isn’t summer-hot yet, but the sea remains warm and, besides, that’s what wet-suits are for.

Rain

There is less chance for rain in February than in January. The one inch average rainfall for the entire month makes rain very unlikely to adversely affect your holiday. Only about 5 days a month will see any sort of rain showers and these do not last long.

Humidity

The relative humidity in February varies between about 60% and 83% but, like January, the dew point remains a relatively comfortable 50%.

Wind

Winds as with most of the year remain in the “gentle breeze” range at about 3mph if they blow at all.

Sand Storms

The chances of a sand storm affecting your daily run are slimmest in February with an average of 3 days at most where sand where gusts may contain sand particles.      

February 10^th is on average the clearest day of the year. Three days at most there may be some morning fog which dissipates within a very short time.

Agadir Hotels in February

The entire region is dotted with many interesting places to stay. If you make the journey to Tiznit to see the prehistoric art and decide to spend the night, try the Dar El Janoub. Beautiful sea views from the rooms, lounge areas and fabulous pool, the hotel style is very Moroccan.

For a romantic get away with a very distinct local flavor try the Auberge Figue de Barbarie. Very rustic, isolated and located by an isolated beach, the service is good and makes a great getaway for couples wanting privacy and not concerned about amenities.

If you are looking for a family friendly, all inclusive hotel located in the center of the action, you can’t go wrong at the Club Med. Golf, tennis, and by the beach like all Club Meds the hotel is great for children.

Agadir Beach for February

If you’re holidaying in Agadir in February, it would be a shame not to take advantage of the excellent surf conditions the area is known for. For the novice or pro, trade winds and sheltered spots mean it’s the ideal place to ride the waves. 

Whilst you’re on the coast, why not take advantage of the stunning scenery with a walk along the miles of golden sand that stretch out along the coastline. Agadir’s beaches are a beautiful sight and, though it may still be a bit chilly to relax on them in your swim-wear, they’re still well worth a visit.

There are miles of beaches along the Atlantic coastline of Morocco by Agadir. The beach by the resort itself extends for over 3km. The promenade, which borders the beach, extends a further 2km. You can bike or walk in the perfect February sunshine. Several locations offer bike rentals including many of the hotels. 

The old lighthouse by Cape Ghir is one of the most picturesque beach locations in the area.  Walking along the beach in the evening and watching the waves break over the rocks, this historic light house built in 1932 makes a great backdrop if you have a penchant for photography or painting.

Bars and Restaurants

Just about any block in the city contains a variety of places to eat and drink. If you like fish and don’t want to pay premium prices, you can get a great meal for as little as $5 at the Fish Market. Choices are plentiful and the fish is always fresh.

If you don’t like fish, but also don’t want to spend a fortune, try the O Playa. A mixture of Moroccan, American and continental fare, the steaks are excellent. They are open for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner.

Nightlife goes on until the wee hours of the morning. Nightclubs like El Paradiso in the Hotel Argana in the heart of the tourist section of the city by the beach operate from dusk to dawn. If trendy is more your style, then the Flamingo has a large dance floor and plays the latest European music all night long.

Things to do in Agadir in February

If the beach seems a bit chilly in February, the winter months are a great time to go fishing. Anglers of all sorts will find something to please them. If you want to try your hand at sport fishing, the mild weather, calm seas and abundant sunshine offers a fun day-trip on the ocean for the whole family. There is freshwater fishing too. At Lake Ait Aadel, about 3 /12 hours by car, you can catch black bass, trout, perch and other game.

If you don’t want to fish but want to take a different sort of day trip, about two hours south of Agadir you can tour the famous prehistoric rock carvings in the town of Tiznit. You can get there by private cab for as little as $75 to include a private tour guide.

Visiting Morocco in February

As with the rest of the Northern Hemisphere, winter is the coldest season of the year in Morocco. But temperatures begin to warm up a bit in February, making Morocco a great destination for a winter vacation. February is also one of the cheapest times to travel to Morocco.

If your heart is set on seeing the Sahara dessert, February may be your last best chance to do so as the weather is quite temperate. Even if you’re just looking to escape the winter snow at home, the sunny beaches of Morocco are waiting to welcome you.

Two advantages to visiting are that Morocco’s weather in February is very temperate and it is still a slow season for tourists. Prices for flights, hotels, hostels, and riads may be quite a bit less expensive than during the summer, and you’ll have a better chance of booking the accommodations you are dreaming of. If you take a tour, you’ll likely get a lot more time to talk one-to-one with your tour guide.

It is important to remember that, while the daytime temperatures can be quite warm, temperatures drop fast once that sun goes down. Morocco is sometimes referred to as the “cold country with the hot sun” and there is no time that this is more true than in the winter. But as long as you’re prepared for the temperature fluctuations, February is a great time to visit Morocco.

 

If you’re looking to book a romantic getaway for Valentine’s Day (like Marrakech in February!), a sunny vacation in Morocco might just be your dream come true!

Morocco Weather in February

Winter slowly begins to release its hold on Morocco in February. Temperatures go up slightly, averaging 10°C to 22°C or more, depending on the area of the country you are in. There is a bit less rain fall in February, too, with 3 to 4 rainy days bringing up to 1.5 inches in precipitation.

Sunny days will feel quite warm and pleasant, but once the sun goes down, things will still get very cold, reminding you that it is still winter. The coastlines and dessert areas are warmest, while mountain temperatures may still be 8°C or lower, with snow as a very real possibility, as well.

 

Be prepared with these ideas of what to pack when visiting Morocco in winter.

What to Wear in Morocco in February

The temperature can fluctuate a great deal in Morocco in the winter. If you decide that February is the best time to take that sunny winter vacation you’ve been dreaming of, just remember to pack a variety of clothing that will allow you to dress in layers.

During the day when the sun is out, days may be warm enough to allow for short sleeves and light slacks. You may even find it hot enough along the coast to wear a bathing suit at your hotel swimming pool.

But if you do any sightseeing, having the ability to add or remove clothing to accommodate the temperature changes is invaluable. And remember that after the sun goes down, it is still likely to get quite cold.

When packing, remember to take shirts in lightweight material, and heavier material, too. Slacks and longer skirts are great when you want to dress up a bit when going out for the evening.

Long johns and thermals will help you stay warm, no matter what else you are wearing. And if you are going to be out for long in the evening, you should also consider a hoodie or heavy jacket and hats, scarves, and gloves, too.

 

If you are going to be staying somewhere without heating, which can be quite common, warm sleepwear is great to have on hand, as well. This time of year the weather really varies depending on where you will be so keep this in mind with your planning and packing.

Festivals and Celebrations in Morocco in February

Second Week of February – Approximately 250 kilometers from Agadir, is the beautiful and secluded oasis of Tafraoute.

Best Places to Visit in Morocco in February

Tafraoute

The oasis of Tafraoute is approximately 250 kilometers outside of Agadir, and you’ll have to drive a lot of winding (and often dirt) roads to get there. But if you are in Morocco in February, the trip to Tafraoute is well worth the effort. Come during the second week of February to enjoy the Almond Blossom Festival. Stay for the many other treasures this region has to offer.

If you’re looking for a breath-taking adventure, rent bikes, hire a guide, and take a bike ride from Tafraoute to Tiznit where you can see some of the most beautiful and astonishing views you’ve ever imagined. Be sure to keep on the lookout for Les Roches Bleues, the “Blue Rocks”, which were painted in 1984 by Belgian artist Jean Verame.

If your adventures help you to work up an appetite, the La Kasbah is a popular restaurant in Tafraoute. The traditional rugs and lanterns are beautiful, and the traditional Moroccan cuisine will tantalize your taste buds. And if you’re looking for something a bit more casual, be sure and check out some of the local snack kiosks and patisseries you’ll find in the area.

Agadir

Agadir is bustling, and busy. Considered the capital of the south of Morocco, Agadir is the principal fishing port in that region. It is also known for beautiful clean beaches and weather very similar to San Diego. Though don’t be too fooled. The Agadir temperatures in February can still be cool, especially at night.

History buffs should be sure to take a tour of the Municipal Amazigh Museum and enjoy their beautiful collection of pottery, Amazigh wood, and weaving from local regions around Agadir. There are also some delicious places to eat around the museum, after all that history works up your appetite!

The corniche is a very popular area of Agadir, especially in summer months. This means in February you might find many shops and restaurants closed or operating on reduced hours.

However, it remains a place to go. You may also want to head to the medina of Agadir. The entire city was leveled in an earthquake in 1960 so the city is almost entirely rebuilt – including the medina.

Ouarzazate

There are those that say that no trip to Morocco is complete without a visit to a desert oasis. Ouarzazate serves as the gateway to many of the most wonderful places in the desert. This exciting town is also home to film studios, earning it the nickname, the “Hollywood of Morocco”!

If you are interested in learning all about how Ouarzazate became the Hollywood of Morocco, the Cinema Museum of Ouarzazate is a great place to start. You’ll learn about the filming of “Lawrence of Arabia” and how the movie industry has progressed through the years into the present . . . and the future!

 

If you want a more hands on movie experience, be sure to visit Atlas Film Studios for a tour. You’ll see sets from movies such as “Gladiator” and “Cleopatra” and have the chance to explore many other sets, like the set of “old Tangier” which has been used for many “medina shots” in movies over the years.

Where does this data come from?

Weather data for Agadir was collected from the MERRA-2 project from NASA, which used a climate model combined with historical data from weather stations around the world to estimate what the conditions were like for every point on the Earth.

For all data based on historical data, we’ve averaged the data from the past 11 years (2010-2020). For example, for the hourly temperature at 10am, we’ve looked at the temperature at 10am on every day in February (e.g., February 1, February 2, etc. in 2010, 2011, etc.) and took the arithmetic mean. We did not smooth the data, so for example, our daily temperature line will have some randomness due to the fact that weather is random in the first place.

weather, temperatures and travel tips for your holiday

What’s the weather like in Morocco in February? What sort of temperatures can you expect? And what other things should you bear in mind if planning a Winter holiday, Moroccan style? This overview – with individual sections on the country’s main regions – covers everything you’ll need to know about the weather in Morocco in February.

Is February a good month to travel to Morocco? Absolutely, especially given that most countries across Europe will be at their coldest and grimmest at this time of year. Anyone who finds themselves fed up with the damp and the chill of the European winter is likely to appreciate the respite of Morocco’s warmer climes.

But before you plan your trip, it’s worth finding out more about the weather you can expect in different parts of Morocco. The country is home to several separate climate zones, so temperatures can vary considerably from one region to the next.

You’ll find a more general overview of the weather in Morocco in this article about travel times, weather data and holiday tips.

Morocco in February: regional weather

A trip to Morocco in February is a great way to escape the European winter. But the coldest season of the year can still be felt in northern Africa. Temperatures in February may be slightly higher than those in January. However, some parts of the country are still much cooler than you might expect from an African country, especially at night.

Further inland and away from the coasts, in the mountains and deserts of southern Morocco, visitors can expect significant variations in temperature from day to night, even in February. However, lows of just above freezing are rarely recorded outside the Atlas Mountains. The mildest weather is likely to be found on the country’s southern Atlantic coastline at this time of year.

Several of the country’s regions are ideal for a holiday in February. The sprawling Atlantic coastline, dotted with cities such as Essaouira and small towns like Mirleft, makes a worthwhile destination for a relaxing seaside holiday, with long walks and short dips into the water.

In southern Morocco and Marrakech, daytime temperatures of 20°C are common, but it cools considerably after sundown. As such, warm clothing is essential. From February onwards, trekking tours of the Atlas Mountains can be undertaken at moderate altitudes without alpine gear.

Marrakech in February

Marrakech in February can be subject to some fairly dramatic and sudden changes in temperature. During the day, the thermometer can easily climb to 20°C. On a sunny afternoon, you can comfortably relax on the roof terrace in a t-shirt. But the situation can change rapidly, especially if exploring the sheltered parts of the Medina, or after the sun sets. The temperature has a tendency to fall rapidly, and it becomes noticeably chillier.

In comparison to the sweltering heat of Marrakech in the summer, February’s temperatures are pleasantly moderate, perfect for a busy day of sightseeing around the city. However, if you are sensitive to the cold, be sure to pack plenty of warm clothing and choose a good riad.

Atlantic coast, Essaouira and Agadir in February

Morocco’s lengthy Atlantic coastline enjoys a pleasant, maritime climate. The Atlantic functions as a sort of heat reservoir, gradually releasing its energy into the air. As a result, Morocco’s coastal towns enjoy relatively mild winters.

The further south one travels along the coastline, the warmer and drier the climate becomes. Essaouira is a notable example. This beautiful harbour town is effectively assailed by strong winds all year round, earning it the nickname, “City of Winds”. If you go for a stroll along the seafront and watch the surfers and kitesurfers at play, you’ll quickly understand the city’s appeal for water sports enthusiasts.

Essaouira is an appealing destination all year round, and well worth a stay. Bathing in the sea is possible even in February, with average temperatures of 18°C. However, the relatively strong winds mean that it is still quite fresh.

For a more traditional beach holiday, however, Agadir is probably your best bet. Although it is located just 200 km further south, it’s quite a bit warmer than Essaouira. Critically, it is far less windy than Essaouira and has less rainfall.

In Agadir, the daytime temperature in February can often climb as high as 21°C. Average water temperatures are much the same as in Essaouira, hovering around 18°C.

Northern Morocco and Fez in February

During February, northern Morocco tends to be relatively cool with higher rainfall than other parts of the country. Although the Mediterranean and the Atlantic can have a stabilising climatic effect, this influence declines the further inland you travel. As such, the climate in the country’s northern interior is invariably less maritime and more continental, resulting in a notable disparity between daytime temperatures and those overnight.

Fez, northern Morocco’s biggest city, is not located on the coast. Here, you can expect warm, almost spring-like weather in winter. But in the evenings, the temperature can drop to around 5°C.

The climate in northern Morocco is undoubtedly much more pleasant in February than the weather in most of Europe. It is warmer, with more sunlight and less rain. But suppose you are travelling to Morocco in February specifically to flee the chilly European winter.

In that case, you are advised to head for the south of the country and save northern Morocco attractions for another visit, preferably in the spring or autumn. This is not to suggest that northern Morocco’s weather is unpleasant in February. Merely that other places are likely to be much warmer.

Southern Morocco and the deserts in February 

As far as the weather is concerned, southern Morocco’s desert zones provide the sharpest possible contrast to the milder destinations along the coast. The differences in temperature between day and night can be extreme. And rainfall is a rarity here, as one might expect.

February is in many respects an ideal month for organised desert tours in Morocco. Primarily because the daytime temperatures are fairly pleasant. That said, the mercury can drop to as low as 6°C overnight. If you plan to undertake a tour of the Sahara, spending a night under the stars in a desert camp, a sleeping bag and plenty of warm clothing will prove indispensable.

Another highlight in February is the almond blossom festival in Tafraoute. This charming little village lies on a plateau beside the Atlas Mountains. The region is famous for its annual festival, which celebrates the blossoming of the almond trees.

The Almond Blossom Festival is among Morocco’s most enchanting folkloric events. It is usually held during the second week of February, although this can vary slightly depending upon the trees’ blooming. For example, in 2019, the festival took place between the 22nd and the 25th of February.

In short…

Travelling to Morocco in February promises an escape from the frosty northern winter and a welcome dose of warmth and sunshine. Although Morocco’s weather is much nicer in February than the weather in Europe, it is worth considering your destination carefully, because there are noticeable differences between the weather in the country’s different regions.

In general, if travelling in February, I would recommend either a stay on the Atlantic coast, south of Rabat, or a trip to southern Morocco and Marrakech. Recommended excursions at this time of year include organised desert tours and trekking holidays in the Atlas Mountains.

Reviews of tourists about the weather in Morocco in February

I arrived in the capital of Morocco – Rabat in early February from Casablanca. It was a local winter in the city, at night the temperature drops to 2 degrees, the cold is felt, since there is no heating, you had to sleep in clothes under a warm blanket (they don’t have batteries in inexpensive hotels). It was warm during the day, but I still walked around in a sweater and a light jacket. There was no rain. Things, by the way, dry slowly.

Not the most convenient time to visit the country, however, there are many free places in hotels, few tourists, there is no summer heat, so February is quite suitable for exploring the cities.

In my opinion, it is ideal to have a rest there in the middle of October.

Weather in Morocco in February

Many people think that it is always hot in Africa, including in winter. This statement is only partly true, since the evenings in the Maghreb are very cold, and suggest the presence of a coat in the wardrobe, and the days are moderately warm, but against the background of “our” frosts, no doubt, “summer”. Speaking specifically about February, we can conclude that its temperature regime throughout the country is undergoing a slight increase. Going to Morocco this month, you find yourself in very favorable climatic conditions, formed due to its location in the subtropical zone. They are very conducive to making educational trips and leisurely sightseeing during daylight hours, the duration of which, by the way, also increases slightly. Due to the diversity of natural landscapes, the weather conditions in different regions are not uniform. For a generous portion of sun and warmth, you should go to the southwestern resort of Agadir. At noon in the sun it is quite comfortable – +22 .. + 24 ° С, T-shirts and shorts will be very useful. However, with the onset of twilight, a sharp cooling of the environment reminds you of what season the calendar really is: the thermometer drops rapidly, “freezing” at +10 .. + 12 ° С. Focusing on these indicators, one should also take into account the increased level of relative humidity and possible winds.

Morocco weather forecast for 14 days →

Based on this, we recommend stocking up not only with warm outerwear, but also with a hat and scarf. Precipitation is represented by five “wet” days. Sometimes the rains are light and short-term, and sometimes protracted. So an umbrella in the travel luggage will not be superfluous. In general, the western regions are considered the most pleasant in terms of climate. True, it must be borne in mind that in the mornings there are often fogs. In the port town of Essaouira, meteorologists register +10..+20°C and 7 wet days. In the south, at lunchtime, due to the proximity of the Sahara, it is much hotter, and at night, a street thermometer often shows below 0 ° C. In Casablanca, where chilly winds from the Atlantic penetrate, the daily temperature range is from +10°С to +17°С. In the capital located to the north of it – + 18 ° С during the day and only + 8 ° С after sunset. Here and in Casablanca, the probability of precipitation is expressed in 10 days, so it is unlikely that you will be able to do without waterproof shoes. Continental features appear in the interior. If you plan to spend the night, make sure that your suitcase contains sweaters and a jacket with a thick down lining. In Marrakesh, located at the foot of the mountains – +7..+18°С. In the evening, temperatures down to +5°C are not ruled out. In Fes, the weather is “severe”: up to +15..+16°C at noon and up to +4..+6°C at night. Here, surprisingly, it is not as damp as on the coast – only 4 days with precipitation. A separate line in the weather forecast is the system of the Atlas Mountains. In January and February, the most snow falls there. In the highlands, the thickness of its cover is usually at least 5 meters, which creates excellent conditions for the development of skiing.

What to do in Morocco in February?

As a rule, people go to Morocco in winter not for the sake of beach leisure, since the water in the Atlantic Ocean at this time is very invigorating. At this time, the country is visited by tourists who are seriously focused on studying its many monuments and traditions without the fuss and scurrying crowds of sightseers. The highlight of the February holidays is skiing from the slopes of the African mountains. Relaxation fans will be able to appreciate the degree of local residents’ mastery of the art of thalassotherapy.

Beach holiday

As already mentioned, the idea of ​​​​a beach holiday in winter is doomed to failure. The water in the Atlantic Ocean becomes unsuitable for swimming in mid-late autumn. In February, it warms up to +16°C in the northern part of the coast and up to +17°C in the south.

Bathing is also prevented by occasional storms and strong waves. By the way, the latter are in the sphere of interests of advanced surfers and kitesurfers. Their main habitat is the spots of Essaouira, “Fanatic” and “Club Mistral”.

Beginners and intermediate surfers catch waves and line up mainly from June to September at the Panoramas spot in Tamrat. As for sunbathing, it is unlikely that you will be able to bring a chocolate tan from your vacation. But if you give preference to Agadir, then a beautiful skin tone is guaranteed to you. He is not afraid of piercing winds or downpours.

Entertainment and excursions

The absence of excessive heat and crowds is an excellent reason for making an exciting journey through authentic cities and villages, thoroughly saturated with centuries-old history and having its own unique atmosphere. The ancient capital of Marrakech, perfectly preserved to this day, is a real quintessence of Arab exoticism, permeated with the breath of antiquity Essaouira, business-like Casablanca, in which a European flair is clearly felt, hospitable Agadir, similar to Spanish Grenada, charming with Moroccan flavor and “magnificent” architecture Rabat – in this country there is something to see and something to marvel at.

If you have a driver’s license, you can rent a car and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscapes, driving along the most scenic routes.

Particularly fascinating is the road to the provincial town of Tafraout and rocky “arches” made of pink granite on Lazgir beach. An excellent end to a busy day will be relaxation in one of the thalassotherapy centers. Alpine skiers are looking forward to the resorts of Okaymeden, Ifrane and Azrou.

Holidays and festivals

The grandiose Almond Blossom Festival, which takes place annually in Tafraout, promises a lot of unforgettable impressions in February. By February, several hundred almond trees in its vicinity are covered with touching flowers that exude a wonderful aroma. The program of the event includes music concerts, dance performances, fairs and traditional tea parties.

What are the prices for holidays in Morocco in February?

The cost of tours in February is one of the lowest of the year. For tourists on a budget, you can hardly find a better time.

Europe in February | 10 Best European Places to Visit in February

Thinking about visiting Europe in February? February is often overlooked as a great month to travel because it falls in between the holiday season and spring break and summer, but if you travel during this month you can enjoy benefits such as the reduced number of fellow travelers, and you can even save money as you’d be traveling during the off-season.

Here is a list of events that you can enjoy during your February trip to Europe:

Fête du Citron, Menton, France

This unique winter festival in the city of Menton was first proposed in 1875 when local hoteliers suggested an event to draw visitors to the area during the colder months. The ensuing festival turned into the Fête du Citron during the 1930’s. Menton is located along the French Riviera, near the Italian border, and the Mediterranean climate makes it an ideal place for citrus fruits to grow, especially lemons. Not only does the festival include incredible food, but you can witness some incredible sculptures and floats made from lemons and limes. Usually the festival picks a theme for the year – past themes have included Bollywood, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and the Tribulations of a Lemon in China.

Where to Stay:

Instead of Menton, we recommend you stay in Nice. For less than 40 minutes by train, you’ll have more options to explore the area once the festival is over. Some of the best hotels in the areas are Hotel de France, Best Western Plus Hôtel Massena Nice, and Apart’hotel Ajoupa.

Things to Do:

If you are in Menton and Nice, don’t miss out on the opportunity to explore! The tours such as Discovery tour of Italian Markets, Menton and la Turbie from Nice, Fun open-top car tour in the french riviera, and the Verdon Gorge group tour from Nice are some of the most popular things you can do while in the area.

Carnival of Venice, Italy

One of four carnivals on this list, the Carnival of Venice is perhaps one of the most well known. Carnivals are festivals that are held annually, and ends at the same time as Lent starts. The carnival of Venice in particular is well-known throughout the world for the elaborate beautiful masks that you can buy not only during the festival but throughout the year when you’re visiting Venice.

Where to Stay:

There are so many charming accommodations in Venice to stay in during the carnival, but they can also be very expensive. Some of our favorites are Hotel Concordia, Hotel Bucintoro, and h20 Palazzo Canova. These hotels are centrally located, have great reviews, and their prices are more reasonable.

Things to do:

While in Venice, a private gondola ride and dinner in Venice or Welcome to Venice: Walking Tour, St. Mark’s Basilica & Gondola Ride is a must! For those who love to cook the Fresh Pasta Private Cooking Class can be so much fun. But if you are not so much of a cook but you would like to still have some great Italian food experience, there is a Walking tour with Venice street food tasting that we think you might like.

Carnival of Binche, Belgium

Like the carnival of Venice, the carnival of fish takes place annually proceeding ash Wednesday. This carnival has taken place since the 1300s, and has been listed by UNESCO as a masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity. Although the carnival itself takes place in February there are several weeks of events that lead up to the major celebrations, including various performances. This carnival is known for the inclusion of clown-like performers who wear wax masks and vibrant attire. On the final day of the carnival these performers will all gather in the center of town to dance and ward off evil spirits.

Where to Stay:

Staying in Binche during the carnival might not be ideal. Not only it’s very crowded but Binche has limited accommodation options for you to choose from. Since Brussels is only about an hour by train, we recommend you stay there instead. The hotels such as Aris Grand Place Hotel or Hotel Hubert Grand Place are centrally located in the Brussels city center so you have easy access to the train stations and can explore Brussels and nearby towns in addition to the carnival.

Things to Do:

Besides the carnival, you definitely want to spend some of your time exploring Brussels and nearby towns. The Ghent and Bruges private tour from Brussels is one of our favorites. While Brussels is beautiful in its own right, Bruges and Ghent are unique and you don’t want to miss the opportunity to visit these gorgeous towns while in the area. While in Brussels, explore the main attractions on your own or check out the sightseeing tour. If you like sweets, you must try the Belgium waffle or even try to make your own with the waffle workshop.

Carnival of Nice, France

The Carnival of Nice is one of the biggest carnival events throughout the globe. Like the other carnival festivals mentioned here, this celebration has been an annual tradition for quite some time. Although the exact date of the first Carnival of Nice is unknown there are records that suggest that it has been occurring since before 1294. This event is a huge attraction for people all over the world and over 1 million visitors come to the region to celebrate. The Carnival of Nice also picks a specific theme each year – for example the proposed theme for 2020 was the king of fashion.

Where to Stay:

There are plenty of accommodations to choose from. Some of our favorite hotels located in the Nice city center are the Best Western Plus Hôtel Massena Nice and Mercure Nice Centre Notre Dame.

Things to Do:

What we love about Nice is the fact that you have a variety of things to do regardless of the season. Some of the things you might enjoy during your visit in addition to the Carnival of Nice are such as the half-day e-bike vineyard tour with wine tasting from Nice, a small-group day trip to the Grand Canyon of Europe.

Carnaval de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

The Carnaval de Santa Cruz de Tenerife experience is as close to a Rio de Janeiro Carnaval as you’ll be able to find in Europe. The Canary Islands come to life with all the music and colors of this legendary celebration. Revelers take to the streets and fill venus while floats, bands, and dance troops parade through the vibrant streets. While all the carnivals mentioned on this list are well-known and popular in their own right, the Carnaval de Santa Cruz de Tenerife is often considered the second most popular carnival after the Rio De Janeiro event. Like many other events listed here, this carnival picks a theme every year. Past examples include horror films, the depths of the sea, and magic.

Where to Stay:

We recommend Silken Atlántida Santa Cruz and Hotel Taburiente S.C.Tenerife.

Things to do:

The Carnaval de Santa Cruz de Tenerife last for many days with plenty of things to see and do. If you still finding yourself wandering for more, why not explore the beautiful island of Tenerife and see some of the best sceneries it has to offer with the Tenerife island tour.

Berlin International Film Festival, Germany

The Berlin International Film Festival occurs over the course of two weeks in February. This festival began in 1951 as a beacon of culture in a city largely cut off from the world due to the Cold War. About 400 works are shown each year. Whether you attend for the films, the glamorous atmosphere, or the bustling nightlife that occurs around the festival, you’ll find something that excites you here.

Where to Stay:

The hotels in the heart of Berlin such as Classik Hotel Alexander Plaza and Radisson Blu Hotel, Berlin are great choices. It’s within the walking distance of the city center and you have easy access to many of Berlin’s main attractions.

Things to Do:

Because Berlin International Film Festival occurs over the course of two weeks, you might wonder what else can you do to mix things up. The good news is that you are in Berlin, the capital of Germany! There is plenty of things to do here. If this is your first time visiting the city, definitely consider a guided tour such as the Explore Berlin: Top Attractions Walking Tour. With this tour, you get an insider’s look at Berlin, the capital and cultural centerpiece of Germany, and have an opportunity to visit some of Berlin’s most popular attractions — like the Berlin Wall, Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag and Checkpoint Charlie — as well as a few lesser-known locations that you might miss when exploring on your own.

Germany is famous for its beer, so if you have time and want to learn all about innovative new Berlin brews, check out the Secret Beer Tours: Berlin w/ Private Tour Option. With this tour, you’ll get the chance to taste nine different beers, so you’ll come away with an in-depth knowledge of the varieties being produced in the German capital.

Vinterjazz, Denmark

Vinterjazz is a widespread jazz festival for three weeks during February. With a lineup featuring both Danish and international artists, this music festival offers an incredible amount of variety. In fact, over 450 musicians and groups perform in over 100 locations around the country! Some of the shows are free, and some are specifically organized for children making this truly an event that’s accessible for everyone.

Where to Stay:

Vinterjazz celebrates Jazz all over Denmark for three weeks, including in Copenhagen. If you are planning to attend this event in Copenhagen, then we recommend staying at Scandic Palace Hotel or the Hotel Danmark by Brøchner Hotels.

Things to Do:

In addition to the festival, if you have an extra day to spend we would like to recommend you check out the Grand Day Trip around Copenhagen. It’s an all-day tour but it’s worth the trip because you will have a chance to visit UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kronborg Castle and Renaissance-era Frederiksborg Castle. Plus, learn how the Vikings constructed their ships at the Viking Ship Museum and so much more.

Rainbow Ball, Austria

One of the most unique events to take place in Europe during February is Vienna’s Rainbow Ball. Balls are not a new phenomenon to Vienna, which is well known as Europe’s capitals of classical music. This, however, is no ordinary ball. The Rainbow Ball celebrates everything LGBTQA+. While still a formal event where attendees are meant to wear either tuxedos or gowns, the energy at this event is unmatched. The playlist contains a mix of tunes from the 20’s, the 40’s, and the 80’s that are all perfect for dancing.

Where to Stay:

The Boutique Hotel am Stephansplatz and Schlosshotel Römischer Kaiser are in excellent location.

Things to Do:

Vienna offers many great things to see and do. With Vienna Pass Including Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Ticket you can see many attractions and save a lot on the entrance tickets.

If you have time for something different outside Vienna, you might like the Budapest Full-Day Trip From Vienna With Accommodation Pick-Up. What we like about this tour is the fact that you get a chance to enjoy the journey through scenic countryside to Hungary’s imperious capital, set on the River Danube, and view its must-see monuments and UNESCO-listed sights, including the Chain Bridge, Parliament, and medieval Buda district. You will also have some free time to shop, stroll and have lunch (own expense) before heading back to Vienna.

Snowattack, France

This festival is the embodiment of that ski trip you planned in college with your friends but never quite got around to. The slopes are open all day and are only interrupted by the occasional beer pong tournament or organized snowball fight (known here as snow dodgeball). When the sun goes down, the torches go up to keep the skiing and snowboarding going all night long. Music and parties run until dawn, or you can slow things down with some old fashioned ice skating if you’re looking for a break from all of the excitement.

La Festa di San Valentino, Italy

February is perhaps most famously associated with Valentine’s Day, and what better place to celebrate this holiday than in the place where St. Valentine himself was from. Celebrations for the holiday take place for the first two weeks culminating in a feast on the 14th.

15 Best European Destinations in February

Last Updated on September 16, 2020 by hungryoungwoman

There is just something about winter that makes me want to curl up in a blanket with hot coffee AND also plan for traveling at the same time! Are you the same? Not only does the season have lots of events but also it’s the perfect time to head abroad to make use of the holidays! Here are the best European destinations in February to visit for couples, families, and some are good for solo travelers too.

I got in touch with fellow travel bloggers who are experts in their fields to tell me about the best places in Europe to visit in February and they came up with quite a few destinations. Scroll down to plan your winter holiday in Europe right away!

This includes

Lucerne, Switzerland in winter – My Faulty Compass

Would you believe me if I say Switzerland is absolutely gorgeous and better in winter than in the summer?!

Picture this, you’re in a small Swiss village – pristine and clean, beautiful wood carved chalets, a light dusting of snow everywhere, the aromas of a bakery or a chocolate shop, valentine’s day decorations everywhere, high mountains visible in the distance, a lovely
stream flowing next to you into the lake close by – can it be any more romantic?! Switzerland is ridiculously charming and will win you over at one glance. That’s why it’s in the list of best places to go in February Europe.

Head to Lucerne! It’s a fairy-tale-like place with pretty much everything I’ve described above. It’s also very easy to reach – just an hour from Zurich either by train or car.

February is a wonderful time to visit Luzern – the snow-covered town is absolutely enchanting at that time, there are very few tourists around and there are several mountains right next door that you can visit (such as Mt. Rigi or Mt. Pilatus). It’s an absolute delight to head up to one of these snowy mountains (there are cable cars/ trains that take you up there) and take in the stunning panoramic views that Switzerland is known for.

If you need another reason to visit, February is also the time of the carnival in Luzern! It’s the most festive time to visit – you can witness elaborate costumes, foot thumping band performances, confetti strewn parades, decorations along the streets and a vibrant, good atmosphere everywhere! It’s absolutely magical (and still amazingly orderly, it’s the Swiss after all!)

Iceland in February – Swedish Nomad

Visiting Iceland in February means that you will get a real nice winter experience with great possibilities of seeing the Northern lights. In addition to chasing the magical phenomenon also known as Aurora Borealis, you can go ice-crevassing, glacier walking, and much more that only the winter season can offer.

February is one of the best months to visit if you want to avoid the crowds, and it’s generally considered as a shoulder season in Iceland since most people don’t have a vacation in February.

Prices are also generally lower on tours and accommodation, which means it’s easier to travel Iceland on a budget in February. Tours won’t be sold out either, so you can opt for last-minute tours if you’re not sure what you want to do before arriving.

The same goes for the famous Blue Lagoon, which is often fully booked in peak season. The other hot springs in Iceland will also have fewer tourists, and many attractions will be more enjoyable since the crowds won’t be there

Crete, Greece in winter – The Solo Life

The largest of the Greek islands, Crete is full of Greece’s characteristic history while also being not as crowded as Santorini. It has a wide range of activities and landscapes with beaches, charming harbor towns, and even mountains. Crete has everything you need for a winter getaway, including 60-degree weather. This will probably make for one of the best winter city breaks Europe has.

Although there are many places to visit, must-see highlights are the Venetian harbor and lighthouse in mild Chania and for a true winter experience, snow sports at the White Mountain. The town of Chania is a charming location, with Egyptian, Ottoman, and Venetian influences. The harbor and lighthouse, in particular, are a picturesque place to stroll and enjoy a meal, without all the tourists. The most popular winter sports in Crete are ski mountaineering, which combines mountain climbing and skiing, and snow-kiting, a newer sport similar to kiteboarding, only on snow instead of water.

There are many other wonderful activities to do on Crete, but the best part of visiting in the winter is that the island is full of locals instead of tons of tourists, and the prices are very reasonable. Although other Greek islands get more hype, Crete is an island not to overlook, regardless of the time of year. Check out more on Jordan’s Instagram feed here.

Krakow, Poland in winter – Lazy Travel Blog

To get the most out of Krakow holidays without having to elbow your way through the throngs of tourists that visit this popular city each year, the best time to visit is in winter if you are not daunted by gray days and frosty temperature. Usually warmer in February with fewer rains, throw on your heavy winter coat, hat, gloves, and scarf to explore the city.

A must for best European destinations in winter, Krakow’s many attractions, like museums, churches, and market squares, will help you see more of the Polish culture as you will be there for the Sea Shanties Festival and Fat Thursday (precedes Ash Wednesday a day to let you have as many donuts as possible). Learn more about the tradition of sailor songs as you join the parade during Sea Shanties Festival or try some traditional Polish sweets, like pączki, donuts with rose marmalade filling, and the faworki, the crispy pastry that melts in your mouth. Don’t worry about the cold as you can easily warm up by taking some of Krakow’s delicious hot chocolate

Sarajevo, Bosnia in winter – Backpack Adventures

February is the coldest month in Sarajevo. You might think this is not the best time to visit Bosnia, but that is not necessarily true. If you dress warmly Sarajevo has lots of things to offer this time of the year.

First of all, February sees the annual International Sarajevo winter festival. This cultural event sees artists from all over the world coming together in Sarajevo. During the festival, you can expect some interesting concerts, theater plays, and exhibitions in the capital.

Second of all, winter is a cozy time in Sarajevo. The snow turns the old town in a winter wonderland. The cobblestoned streets and the mosques are even more scenic under a white blanket of snow. If it gets too cold, there are plenty of indoor activities like visiting one of its interesting museums or trying Bosnian food in one of Sarajevo’s traditional restaurants.

The filling Bey’s soup is a popular dish in winter. You can also always warm up with a cup of coffee or herbal tea. Sarajevo has a strong cafe culture and they are never far away.

At last Sarajevo is surrounded by mountains. For winter sports you can head to the ski resorts of Bjelasnica and Jahorina. They used to be the center of the Winter Olympics in 1984 and it is not for nothing they were held near Sarajevo. Here you will also find some mountain resorts with log cabins where you can stay the night in some of the most beautiful settings for your winter vacation in Europe

Views from the mountains – Switzerland in February

Florence, Italy in winter – Untold Italy 

In mid-winter, Florence is quiet and goes about a slower pace than in the summer months. You can visit the city’s iconic galleries and museums in relative solitude. Take your time gazing at the Renaissance treasures at the Uffizi Gallery or Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia and soak up their beauty.

In February, the city stages several historical enactments including the Cambia della Garda (changing of the guard ceremony) outside the Palazzo Vecchio with actors dressed in 15th-century costumes. And if you’re there mid-month you can experience the city’s homage to Anna Maria de Medici. The last surviving member of the Medici family, she bequeathed their amassed fortune to the city of Florence, ensuring their incredible collection remained intact. On the 18th of February every year, there is a parade in historical costume in her honor. This makes it to the top of must see places in Europe in winter.

February is also a popular time for antique markets. They pop up in piazzas throughout Florence and are the perfect place to find unique souvenirs.

After your culture fix, it’s time to eat and there is no better time to enjoy the hearty Tuscan meat dishes such as beef peposo (peppered beef in a rich tomato sauce) served with polenta. You might also like to try the famed bistecca all fiorentina. This prized cut of meat and dish made with only five ingredients is a must-try experience and you’ll find the best at Trattoria Sostanza in the heart of Florence

London in winter – Spud on the Run

At the start of February is Chinese New Year, where London’s China Town, close to Leicester Square, becomes awash with color and festivities. The celebrations last for a whole weekend; there is a parade and food trucks are set up for visitors to enjoy. For delicious hand-pulled Chinese noodles, try out nearby Lanzhou Lamian Noodle Bar.

London is the perfect location to celebrate Valentine ’s Day. Stroll hand in hand through one of the beautiful royal parks, or check out the city’s dizzying array of cozy restaurants.

If you’d like to avoid the cold for as long as possible, London has many museums and art galleries that are free to explore such as The British Museum, the Science Museum, the V&A, and the Tate Modern which has a great viewing terrace overlooking the Thames.

Menton, France in winter – Wandering Bird

If you’re looking for more best European cities to visit in winter, look no further than Menton. This beautiful town on the south coast of France comes alive in February and is filled with the delicious scent of lemons. Over one million lemons to be exact!

For one week, the town is home to the Menton Lemon Festival. Huge sculptures are created out of lemons (and other citrus fruit) and you would not believe the number of tourists who come to visit. The sculptures are different every year and are kept very secret until the grand reveal.

It’s also surprisingly warm in February- we wandered around in just light t-shirts whilst we enjoyed the show. If you stay long enough, there’s even a lemon parade!

TOP TIP– arrive early. I’m serious when I say THOUSANDS of visitors arrive. Parking becomes a problem very quickly and is almost impossible after lunch

Granada, Spain in winter – The Road is Life

After visiting Granada last February, I can highly recommend this destination as the perfect place to add to your winter travels bucket list! The weather is between 17- 20°C and sunny. Besides the nice weather, it is Spain’s most popular attraction that makes it worthwhile.

The beautiful Alhambra Palace complex attracts over 2 million tourists per year, most of them choosing to visit during the spring/summer months. The Alhambra is a beautiful Moorish style palace dating back to the 14th century. It sits on a hilltop, towering over the city of Granada with a stunning backdrop of snow-covered mountains. It’s easy to see why the Alhambra attracts the masses, it is truly an impressive sight!

It is one of the best winter destinations in Europe as I was able to take nice photos without crowds and explore the different palaces slowly without standing in long queues. Why battle the crowds and the heat if you don’t have to? Choose to visit the beautiful Alhambra in Granada in February for a memorable experience!

Northern Ireland in winter – Live in 10 Countries

With one eye on Valentine’s Day, why not make your winter break a couple’s getaway? You can cozy up against the cold together and turn the whole trip into a series of date nights.

Northern Ireland is a great choice. It has the metropolis feel of Belfast with its cute cafes and stylish buildings – plus limitless Titanic history for fans of Rose and Jack. Flights from the South Coast can be considerably cheaper and the immersive Titanic Experience has to be seen to be believed.

From there, road trip the Northern Irish coastline heading northeast – crashing waves and stunning views come free of charge. Free from crowds at that time of year, it’s the perfect time to see National Trust gems like Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge or Dunluce Castle and get some photos without people.

If you’d rather be indoors, winter is exactly when you want to bounce to high heaven at the Vertigo trampoline park, Belfast, do some skiing in Armagh, or venture out to see the frosty trees in Tollymore Forest Park

Barcelona, Spain in February – History Fangirl

A city that has become one of the major centers in Europe’s fight against over-tourism. Settling for a trip there in February, I was curious to see if it was as crowded in winter as the rest of the year. I was pleasantly surprised!

While there are definitely still tourists there, February is the perfect time to visit. Barcelona’s mild climate means you can get by with a jacket and some light layers, so it won’t feel like a true winter getaway. Instead, you can enjoy the cool weather but still do all of the city’s amazing outdoor activities.

Stroll down La Rambla, Barcelona’s famous pedestrian street. If the weather does turn and you want to escape a cold spell, you can step into the Picasso Museum to enjoy a few hours indoors with one of the world’s greatest artists.

You’ll still want to make reservations for visiting the Sagrada Familia, but many of Gaudi’s other works will be far less touristed than in the summer. We even enjoyed a walking food tour during our visit that started with some amazing local cheese at La Boqueria, the city’s famed covered market. The weather is perfect to enjoy a brisk walk between delicious rounds of tapas

Paris, France in winter – World in Paris

Paris is always a good idea, also in the colder months of January and February. When the crowds are gone, February is a great month to spend in Paris. The low season in Paris means more accommodation opportunities and better prices. Also, lines to visit the main Paris tourist attractions are almost nonexistent!

Winter in Paris is not as cold as the other cities in Northern Europe so you can still wander the streets of Paris for hours if you don’t have a problem with warm jackets and cozy scarves.

What to do in Paris in February? Apart from the off-season attractions, there are always interesting temporary exhibitions of all genres. Also, the three Chinese communities in the city, in Paris 3, Paris 10, and Paris 13 get festive for the Chinese year, with parties, parades and yummy food. February is also the month of Carnivals (more parties follow) and the month of lovers, with an extra touch of romance in the city during the days around Saint Valentine’s

Bucharest, Romania in winter – Earth’s Attractions

If you’re thinking of where to go in Europe in winter, Romania might most probably be on your list of top winter destinations in Europe. December is a month filled with events – with the National Day on December 1st, and Christmas is celebrated with numerous, beautiful markets, and then it’s the New Year’s Eve party.

February is also special in Romania. On one side, there is snow, so skiing is still a favorite activity.

But, for many years now, they also celebrate Valentine’s Day and there are many romantic places in Romania. This means numerous fairs – in parks and malls – with various products. There are also concerts, and you’ll also be able to get special offers for numerous spa experiences, restaurant dinners, hotel packages for short trips, and more. Love is in the air 🙂

Bucharest, Romania’s capital, is one of the cities where you’ll find many fairs and Valentine’s Day-related events. Everything is decorated in style, so prepare for a lot of red and many hearts! Plus, there is also a Romanian love celebration called Dragobete and it takes place on February 24th which means a new set of events and more opportunities to celebrate love!

An insider’s tip: If you want to go out for dinner on Valentine’s Day, make a reservation in advance, as it’ll be hard to find a table that evening

Venice, Italy in February – Dive. in

Absolutely nothing in Venice can be expressed without being marveled! Its canals are grand, its architecture is extraordinary, its history is old, and its location is puzzling. This is why you need at least a couple of days to fully “feel” the city if you are wondering how many days in Venice would be enough.

Two of the incredible points to experience in Venice throughout the wintertime are Venice Carnevale and a taste of delicious chocolate.

The Carnival of Venice is an annual festival in Venice, Italy. The Carnival finishes with the Christian event of Lent. The celebration is world-famous for its intricate masks. As a matter of fact, the word Carnevale may come from the Latin words carne as well as vale, meaning “goodbye to meat”! The use of masks indicates to conceal the person’s identification as well as social reputation.

Now, let’s take a cup of Hot Chocolate in Caffé Florian. Warm cocoa plays a crucial role for us most specifically during winter months when you really feel the cold bite of the snow. Spending some time cozied in the oldest coffee house in Venice with warm hot chocolate to soothe you is really the best feeling! The hot chocolate here is thick and velvety, a must-try.

This what makes Venice a stunning place to go to besides it has no roadways, simply canals. Come and experience the impressive Venice Carnevale as well as take a sip of the delicious hot chocolate when visiting Europe in winter.

Mallorca, Spain during winter – The Elusive Family

Visiting the island of Mallorca in February is a great way to get away from the much colder areas in Europe in winter. Though the weather varies a bit, Mallorca can be pleasant in February. The mild weather during this month makes Mallorca one of the best places in Europe in winter.

Sa Rua takes place in Palma every year at the end of February/early March if you are lucky enough to catch it. It is celebrated at the beginning of Lent, typically end of February/early March with two separate carnival-style marches; one for parents and one for children. The festival includes costumes, music, dancing and special performances.

There is also a local festival in the city of Son Servera, which celebrates almonds! The celebration of almonds is a homage to Mallorca’s almonds, knowns to many as some of the best in the world. Over 5 million almond trees grow in Mallorca and the almond festival celebrates almonds in style with vendors selling a variety of almond products including almond wood.

So, ready to take a trip to one of the best European countries to visit in winter? Book your flight here for one of the best places to visit in February in Europe.

Until then, happy traveling! xx

The benefits of Europe in the spring

Spring is the perfect time to fly away to Europe—especially if you’re keen on lower hotel rates and fewer tourists. It’s during this window that some destinations start showcasing colorful buds while others cling to a frosty winter climate for a bit longer. The weather certainly comes into play, though it’s not the determining factor for a lot of cities that don’t revolve entirely around outdoors. (Insert architecturally significant buildings, must-see museums, and quaint cafes.) Whether you prefer to vacation in an idyllic village or urban sprawl, it’s all waiting across the continent. Before you commit to a locale, scroll through to discover the best places to go in Europe for spring break.

Other notable monuments include the emblematic Charles Bridge, St. Vitus Cathedral, and the Lennon Wall. Sightseeing isn’t the only basis for jetting off to Prague this spring.

When you envision spring break, Glasgow probably isn’t the first destination that comes to mind. That’s primarily because this underrated port city in the western Lowlands of Scotland doesn’t get the credit it very much deserves. Perched on the River Clyde, Glasgow (“dear green place” in Gaelic) lives up to its name with over 90 verdant parks and gardens. Though rain is par for the course, luckily, there are ample indoor activities to occupy your time.

Perhaps that’s enough high-altitude excitement for one morning. But, if you’re game to journey further, start the nearly 12-mile trek to Mount Ulriken.

Split, Croatia

Book Now

Located on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, Split is the gateway to the wonder of Dalmatia—and one of the few destinations in the region that’s open for business 365 days a year. A spring break trip to Croatia’s second-largest city isn’t going to be an island-hopping adventure like it would in the warmer months, but you can still charter a boat. There’s plenty to do on dry land during the low season, too. It’s particularly enjoyable to explore Diocletian’s Palace and the waterfront promenade without the swarms of summer tourists. Wallet-friendly rates, shorter queues, and less congestion on public transportation are an added perk especially when you consider that Split is already one of the best budget-friendly beaches in the world.

On that note, the capital of the Netherlands is home to the world’s only floating flower market, Bloemenmarkt. It’s also acceptable, even encouraged, to eat pannenkoeken (pancakes) for dinner. When the sun goes down, drink a few pints at a bruin café or head to a prohibition-style speakeasy. For an only-in-Amsterdam evening, meander over to the notorious Red Light District. Staying on this side of the pond? These are the most beautiful places in America in the springtime.

Reykjavik, Iceland

Book Now

Iceland is blessed with hot springs, glaciers, jagged peaks, waterfalls, and volcanos. The gateway to all this natural splendor? Reykjavik. Your first question probably involves the northern lights. November through March is prime for aurora borealis chasing, however, the odds of glimpsing this celestial phenomenon are pretty decent until mid-April. Beyond astronomical pursuits, the world’s northernmost capital gives travelers the chance to go horseback riding, whale watching, hiking, ATVing, and caving. Reykjavik also promises to nurture your creative side with photography exhibits, art museums, and music performances. We highly recommend journeying to the Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa just 45 minutes outside the city.

34 Best Places To Travel Alone In Europe: Solo Travel Guide

Be inspired to plan your next solo trip with this list of the best places to visit in Europe as a solo traveller.

Are you itching to take your first solo travel vacation but are unsure where to go? Given that there are so many options and considerations, choosing your ideal solo travel destination can be a tough task.

So what makes the ideal solo travel destination?

Sadly, there is no magic formula and creating your perfect place to travel alone is a carefully balanced recipe of the following ingredients:

• Safety of destination – e.g. crime, terrorism threat
• Affordability
• Opportunities to meet other people whilst travelling
• Convenience – e. g.travel infrastructure, visa requirements
• Preferred activities – city or country, recharge or adventure?
• Preferred climate

It’s not easy.  

I argue that there’s no such thing as a definitive list of perfect solo travel destinations but, as with many other life decisions, it boils down to balancing competing priorities. That said, it’s good to have a few ideas and inspiration for starters.

To help you make this sometimes difficult choice, we’ll consider why Europe is a great choice for solo travellers and list some of the best places to travel alone in Europe.

Travelling Alone in Europe

Europe is a fabulous destination for the first-time solo traveller.

It’s relatively safe, easy to travel around and offers a vast choice of cultures and cuisine. Thanks to the European Union, many countries share a common currency and there are no borders to navigate, making country-hopping a breeze.

In fact, solo travel surveys indicate that nearly half of all seasoned travellers recommend Europe as the ideal destination for those travelling alone for the first time.

I’ve lived in London for many years and have been lucky to travel to most European countries, from the fairytale town of Colmar to the historic city of Split and the artistic treasures of Urbino.

That said, there are places in Europe that are more suited to solo travel than others.

Public transport and infrastructure are better in some destinations, and other places offer a vibrant and friendly local culture. If your travel budget is a consideration, the cost of living is lower in some places than in others.

Best Places to Visit in Europe as a Solo Traveller: City Breaks

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

By Umang of Travelmax

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Amsterdam is a great place in Europe for solo travellers to visit.  

The city has a large and vibrant community of travellers, be it leisure travellers or freelance digital nomads.

People hang out at hostels or connect with each other through communities such as Meetup or Couchsurfing. These hostels have a lot of regular events which are also open to those not staying there.  

Couchsurfing events are a great way to meet locals in addition to fellow travellers (I remember joining a meet-up of Spanish-speaking folks in Amsterdam, which was such fun!).  

In addition to this thriving community, Amsterdam is also home to tons of museums.  If you have even a little curiosity regarding history or art, you can spend hours here, not really caring about having company. 

Getting around Amsterdam is easy and it’s a convenient base for day trips to other Dutch cities. The excellent tram network, comfortable buses and cycling infrastructure are a real boon for a solo traveller in Amsterdam.  

The best sights in Amsterdam are the museums and Dam Square. The Jordaan area is also a good place to spend an evening chilling in cafes and pubs. 

If you feel more adventurous, cross the river and go to the Noord region to enjoy the I AM HOLLAND experience and Adam’s Lookout. The former experience gives you an epic virtual tour of The Netherlands, while the latter offers a stunning view of the city. 

Athens, Greece

By Chrysoula of Athens and Beyond

The Acropolis, Athens

Athens is a wonderful destination for solo travellers. Not only is it friendly, welcoming and easy to get around, but it is also home to some spectacular attractions.

You won’t want to miss out on these just because you don’t have a travel buddy.

With relatively cheap flights from Europe and beyond, some great hostels and an excellent range of bars, restaurants and cafes, Athens is an amazing destination for solo travellers taking a weekend break and for those travelling more extensively across Europe.

Choose centrally located accommodation in Athens so you can easily walk around the top sights.

These include the Acropolis (and Acropolis Museum), the Ancient Agora, Monastiraki, Plaka and Syntagma Square. Thankfully there are so many options within this area that you won’t be hard pushed to find a decent hotel or Airbnb.

Athens also has some awesome tours that you can take (e.g. Local Food Tours, Street Art Tours) which are a great way to interact with both locals and other travellers.

As Athens has both easy-to-use public transport and taxis, you’ll be able to explore the city safely. There are also some fun day trips that can be taken as tours out of the city.

Belgrade, Serbia

By Maggie of The World Was Here First

Belgrade, Serbia

If you’re looking for the perfect solo travel destination in Europe, you really can’t go wrong with Belgrade, Serbia.

The capital of Serbia has lots to offer visitors and it is a great place to visit alone. There are countless things to do in Belgrade over two or three (or more!) days and the atmosphere of the city, along with the gregarious nature of the locals, make it ideal to visit on your own.

Belgrade is a popular city amongst backpackers and there are countless hostels throughout the city, where it is easy to meet other like-minded travellers.

There are also numerous free walking tours of the city’s neighbourhoods. Ideal for meeting others while learning about the destination.

Belgrade locals are also easy-going and sociable and easy to talk to, so you never truly have to feel alone when visiting this dynamic city.

Some of the top sites in Belgrade include the fascinating Old Town, the wonderful pedestrian street of Knez Mihailova and, of course, the sprawling Kalemegdan fortress park overlooking the confluence of the Danube and Sava Rivers. There are also a number of interesting museums where you can learn more about Belgrade’s history plus a great nightlife scene to experience.

All in all, Belgrade is an excellent place to visit in Europe if you are travelling alone.

Bruges, Belgium

By Bridget of The Flashpacker

Picture-postcard perfect Bruges is an idyllic destination for those travelling alone in Europe and an essential part of any Belgium itinerary.

It is picturesque, safe, easy to get to and there are lots of things to do. As it is a compact and walkable city, it is simple to navigate.

Bruges is famous for its meandering canals that lace their way through its perfectly preserved medieval centre, its magnificent Belfry, world-class museums and, of course, Belgian beer.

But for my money, one of the best things to do in this charming city is to take a self-guided Bruges chocolate tour. Belgium produces some of the finest chocolate in the world, and this is the ideal place to try the best of the best from the city’s artisan producers.

Budapest, Hungary

By Disha of Disha Discovers

Budapest, Hungary

There are so many great places to travel alone in Europe and Budapest is one of them.

Budapest is a safe city to visit, even at night. However, as with any big city, take precautions and be aware of your surroundings.

Also, Budapest is easy to navigate. The trams and buses are simple to use, there are lots of helpful maps that will guide you from place to place and the majority of the signs are written in English.

Budapest has great hostels and hotels, world-class attractions and first-rate restaurants and pubs that won’t break the bank. As a solo traveller, you can find anything within your budget.

Some of the most iconic things to do in Budapest include the Parliament House, Dohany Street Synagogue, Fisherman’s Bastion, the Jewish Quarter, St. Stephen’s Basilica, the Chain Bridge, and Szechenyi Spa Baths.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

By Kami of Kami & The Rest of the World

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik, the gem of the Adriatic coast in Croatia, is a perfect destination for solo travellers. As it’s not a dangerous city, you don’t need to take special safety precautions; just use your common sense like anywhere else and you will be fine.

With all the great things to do in Dubrovnik, you will be busy all day long with sightseeing.

Be sure to walk the city walls around the Old Town. The views from there are incredible and with the ticket, you can also visit Fort Lovrijenac just outside the Old Town.

Fans of Game of Thrones will recognise many of Dubrovnik’s sights from their television screen. One of the best activities in Dubrovnik though is just wandering around its narrow streets and enjoying the atmosphere of the town.

The city is very popular among tourists, especially in the summer season, but once the crowds are gone Dubrovnik is bliss.    

Dublin, Ireland

By Emer and Nils of Let’s Go Ireland

Ha’Penny Bridge, Dublin

By day and by night, Dublin, the capital city of Ireland, has a diverse range of attractions to offer. As a solo tourist, you will feel right at home and have a packed Dublin itinerary exploring the city, its culture and top-class tourist sights.  

The must-see attractions include the Guinness Storehouse with an unbeatable view of the Dublin skyline from the Gravity Bar, Trinity College and the medieval manuscript of the Book of Kells and the latest treasures found in the Chester Beatty Library.  

Dublin is designated a UNESCO City of Literature. Join in the fun at the James Joyce Bloomsday Festival in June, or visit the Museum of Modern Literature to get a taste of Irish Literature at its finest. 

If you want to learn more about the country’s history, visit Kilmainham Gaol, the birthplace of modern Ireland

Ireland’s capital is an excellent base for day trips with many locations to choose from, so you won’t have to bother renting a car. From Howth harbour outside the city centre (reachable by train) to the Cliffs of Moher or to the Giant’s Causeway, you will be spoilt for choice! 

In the evenings, you can enjoy some great live music in the many pubs around the city. There is always music in Temple Bar, but it can be very touristy. 

Try some of these other pubs for a more authentic atmosphere. Don’t worry about being by yourself, it is very easy to strike up a conversation with most Irish people! 

Glasgow, Scotland

By Kathi of Watch Me See

Templeton Square, Glasgow

As a solo traveller, do you want to visit a city that is friendly and welcoming, gentle on your wallet, filled with fun people and dotted with amazing things to do? Look no further than Glasgow, Scotland.

The city’s slogan “People Make Glasgow” could not be more true. The locals are super friendly, whether you need help with directions to want to meet new people in the pub.  

There are numerous budget-friendly accommodation options from great hostels to quirky boutique guest houses. Most attractions and museums are free to visit, which makes it easy to soak up as much of Glasgow’s history, art and culture as possible.  

Glasgow has also many fantastic green spaces and a colourful street art trail with massive murals. There are several street food markets, cool shops filled with local designs and of course endless pubs with live music and banter.  

I highly recommend taking a history tour with Glasgow Women’s Library and looking into the city’s historic involvement with the slave trade, signs of which can be seen in street names and buildings around the city. 

And that’s just in the city.

Glasgow is also a great place to base yourself if you want to take day trips to the Scottish countryside. Other cities like Stirling and Edinburgh are within easy reach. Beautiful castles, stunning Highland scenery and several Scottish islands are on your doorstep.  

All of this and more makes Glasgow a perfect place to visit as a solo traveller.

Gothenburg, Sweden

By Roshni of The Wanderlust Within

Gothenburg, Sweden

Sweden’s second city, Gothenburg is an underrated destination compared to the capital, Stockholm. But as the world’s most sustainable destination four times in a row, it’s a European city that will inspire any solo traveller.  

Gothenburg is a very walkable city, filled with beautiful botanical gardens, local designer shops, and a strong Swedish fika culture. Gothenburg is a paradise for foodies and has a much more affordable price tag compared to Stockholm. 

With free walking tours, it’s easy for solo travellers to make friends and explore quaint neighbourhoods such as Haga, which is famous for baking the largest cinnamon rolls in Sweden.   

The best time of year to visit the city is December for the Gothenburg Christmas markets. This is when the whole city turns into a festive winter wonderland. 

Gothenburg has four Christmas markets, but the main one is Sweden’s largest and is found at Liseberg Amusement Park. Liseberg is an icon in Sweden and includes thrilling rollercoaster rides, a seasonal ice skating show and over 80 Christmas stalls and shops.

The Christmas markets have a host of festive food choices, including a Swedish Christmas buffet dinner that is served on one long table so solo travellers can mingle together. 

Helsinki, Finland

By Jordan of Inspired by Maps

Helsinki, Finland

Modest Helsinki, or Finland, might not be top of your list when considering places for a solo Europe escape, but it should be. 

Tucked away in the northeast of Europe, Helsinki is an enigma; an excellent secret destination full of local charm and personality but minus the crowds. A short vacation with a difference. 

Not only is it wonderfully weird and completely original, but it is utterly welcoming to everyone. And it is oh so safe! Helsinki is one of the safest cities in the world, and you can walk everywhere during the day without worry. 

Finns are shy, reserved and independent, and love to spend time alone. However, this adds to Helsinki’s appeal as a solo travel destination since most of its attractions can easily be undertaken by one person. 

Dining alone, drinking coffee, sauna, you name it; being solo here is completely normal. And, especially as a female traveller, it would be unheard of for someone to come up and harass you for being alone. 

Strolling around Helsinki is like being in an outdoor museum of architecture, with an eclectic mish-mash of magnificent neoclassical architecture, art nouveau constructs, and modern design. Inside top highlights include the Kiasma Museum, the Löyly Sauna, the Amos Rex, and the Moomin store.  

And don’t forget to visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Suomenlinna Island Fortress. You might not know much about Helsinki before visiting, but you’ll never forget it afterwards.

Krakow, Poland

By Bridget of The Flashpacker

“The Head”, Kraków

If you are looking for a budget-friendly solo travel destination with a first-rate bar scene, Krakow could be just the ticket. This is a city that hasn’t sold its soul to tourism, and where it is possible to feast on a meal for 15 PLN washed down with a glass of craft beer for 5 PLN (around 4 GBP). 

Join one of its excellent free walking tours – I loved the one exploring Krakow’s Royal Road –  to meet like-minded travellers. However, the whole city has a social vibe.

Reflect on Krakow’s tragic past by visiting Kazimierz, the city’s old Jewish Quarter, the former Jewish ghetto in Podgorze and the neighbouring Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory.  For many people, the chance to take a day trip to Auschwitz is reason enough to visit Krakow. 

For something a little different, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Wieliczka Salt Mine, a labyrinthine network of tunnels lacing through the mine’s salty depths. Just 12km south-east of Kraków, this is an easy day trip from Krakow. 

La Valletta, Malta

By Wendy of The Nomadic Vegan

La Valletta, Malta

La Valletta, the capital of Malta, is a great European destination for solo travellers.

It’s delightfully compact, with stone buildings piled on top of each other higgledy-piggledy. The entire Valletta peninsula is only a couple of kilometres long, so you can easily explore the whole city on foot. Just be prepared to climb lots of stairs.

Most locals here speak fluent English, so it’s easy to make new friends

Valletta’s role as the headquarters of the Knights of Malta from the 16th to 18th Centuries is a very important part of the city’s history, and many of its best sights relate to this period. The knights’ armoury can be visited inside the Palace of the Grand Masters, though the palace now serves as the parliament and president’s office, so most of it is off-limits.

St. John’s Co-Cathedral doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the interior is covered head to toe in marble and frescoes and is incredibly ornate. If you love art, be sure to visit the Cathedral Museum, which displays two paintings by Caravaggio, who was once a knight himself.

And Valletta is the perfect base from which to explore the rest of this small island nation. Across the harbour from Valletta are three other cities: Birgu, Senglea and Bormla.

Most locals here speak fluent English, so it’s easy to make new friends.

Finally, don’t leave Valletta without trying some of the traditional Maltese foods like bigilla and pastizzi.

London, England

By Bridget of The Flashpacker

Telephone boxes, Covent Garden

I may be biased, but my home town of London is one of the very best places to travel alone in Europe.  

London has a cultural scene that is second-to-none, with world-class museums, including the British Museum, Tate Britain and Tate Modern, a theatrical and musical landscape to accommodate all tastes, excellent restaurants and, of course, a lively drinking culture. 

There is no shortage of things to do in London as a solo traveller. 

Meet fellow travellers on one of the many walking tours – I recommend one of the London street art tours. Or tick off many of London’s landmarks by taking a stroll along the Victoria Embankment or the South Bank. 

Or see the sights from the water by taking a boat ride along the Thames (for the more adventurous you can ride in a RIB!). This is a great way to fully appreciate London’s magnificent bridges.

On those rainy afternoons (and we do get a few of these!), visit a museum or gallery, get a bargain ticket for a theatre matinee performance, see a new cinematic release or an old classic or linger over a book in a coffee shop.

Finally, if you want a break from city life, take one of the many easy day trips from London, including Bohemian Brighton, the golden dunes of Camber Sands, the dreaming spires of Oxford and the Georgian splendour of Bath.

Lyon, France

By Leyla of Offbeat France

One of Lyon’s famous frescoes

Lyon may be a big city – it is France’s 2nd or 3rd, depending on your source – but that is precisely what makes it perfect for the solo traveller: an abundance of choice. 

If you’re new to Lyon, go see the murals.

These are scattered along the edges of the Old Town, as well as here and there throughout the rest of the city. They not only look realistic, but are huge and provide a strong sense of Lyon’s personality. 

Lyon is considered France’s gastronomic heartland and if you believe French food is sublime, Lyon is amazing when it comes to food. 

There are plenty of great restaurants but try a bouchon, a typical Lyonnais eatery. If the heavy fare is daunting, head for Les Halles Paul Bocuse, a covered market filled with shops that sell every kind of food you could expect to find in Lyon, and more.

Just bring along a large appetite. 

Wandering around Old Lyon is always a pleasure, as is visiting the Roman Fourvière theatre. But for an intriguing view of Lyon, two things should grab your attention, both related to silk, of which Lyon was for years France’s main supplier. 

The first is the traboules in the old town: these are ancient tunnels that allowed weavers to carry bolts of silk from building to building without getting them wet when it rained. 

The second must-see sights are the silk establishments on the Croix-Rousse hill; these are shops, or old buildings where workshops were once located, topping it off with a visit to the Maison des Canuts, the silk museum. 

Lyon is perfectly safe for solo travellers during the day, but in the evening it is best to stick to the more touristed parts of town. It is, after all, a major city.

Munich, Germany

By Maria of Europe Up Close

Munich, Germany

Munich is a great destination for solo travellers to Europe. 

The city has a friendly, supportive small-town feel but, at the same time, it is metropolitan enough to nurture a thriving traveller and ex-pat scene. 

Munich has a good choice of accommodation and its public transport is excellent and easy to navigate, allowing you to explore every part of the city. 

Here are some of the must-dos in Munich: 

Munich Beer Halls. Everyone knows the Hofbräuhaus, but there are quite a few others that are not quite as touristy, like the Paulaner, or the Weißes Brauhaus. 

What is great about these beer halls is that they usually have community tables that you share with others. That makes it easy to connect with other guests and chat.  

Swimming in the Isar. If you travel to Munich in the summer, pack your swimsuit and go to the Isar Beaches. That is where the locals hang out and it is easy to connect with others.  

Go on a Walking Tour. Munich has a lot of history and a walking tour is fun, inexpensive (sometimes even free), and you can meet other travellers. To get some non-touristy recommendations, ask the guide for his favourite bars and restaurants 

Pro Tip: If a restaurant is busy and does not have empty tables, it is customary to join a party already seated. Simply ask if the seat is taken, and if they nod in approval you can join them.

This is a great way to find some company during meals if you are travelling alone. 

Paris, France

By Stephanie of The World As I See It

Paris, France

One of the best places to visit in Europe for solo travellers is Paris, France.

Easy public transport, many people speaking different languages and an abundance of fellow travellers help make Paris a great city to visit solo.

It’s also a relatively safe city to visit if you are travelling alone. You can easily walk around many of the popular neighbourhoods and take the metro at night without feeling uncomfortable.

There are so many amazing things to do in Paris as a solo traveller.

Paris’s top attractions include a visit to the Eiffel Tower, browsing the many museums like the Louvre and D’Orsay, people-watching at one of the hundreds of cafes, and strolling down the Champs-Elysees.

And don’t forget to grab a baguette and a bottle of wine, and enjoy a picnic in one of the many lovely parks.

Some other great things that you visit in Paris are the Catacombs – if you dare! –  and the stunning churches that dot the city, like Sacre-Coeur and Saint-Sulpice.

So, make sure you plan at least four days in Paris for your next solo adventure. It will be epic!

Prague, Czech Republic

By Marika of Clumsy Girl Travels

Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is one of the prettiest medieval cities in the world and one of the best places to travel solo with lots to see and do.

Take a walking tour. Several companies offer free walking tours of the old town, the castle and even some lesser-known neighbourhoods, and this is a great way to meet other people who are travelling alone.

Enjoy a beer at Letna Park Beer Garden or Strahov Monastery. Both places offer spectacular views of the city.

Visiting a quirky museum like the Beer Museum (which includes a beer tasting), the Chocolate Museum or the Museum of Alchemists and Magicians, where you learn the darker side of Prague’s history.

Along with things to do during the day, Prague has an excellent nightlife and food scene worth checking out. If you want dinner and a show, you should book a medieval dinner show or a dinner show with traditional Czech dancing.

If you want to party, Prague has a few pub crawls worth checking out.

With its colourful architecture, cobblestoned streets and countless things to do you are bound to have the best time exploring Prague on your own. 

Pristina and Prizren, Kosovo

By Cass of Cassie the Hag

Prizren, Kosovo

If you are travelling alone in Kosovo, make sure you visit its capital, Pristina, and its cultural heart, Prizren.

Solo travel in Kosovo feels safe, the locals are friendly and welcoming, especially at local cafes such as Half&Half Cafe in Pristina.

Hostels are well maintained and also very cheap (4 euros for both dorm rooms and meals!).

Bus routes between key cities are not only very budget-friendly but easy to navigate.

Pristina, Europe’s newest capital, is trendy and home to underrated street art and to a diverse range of eateries, including modern and vegan cafes. Look out for the National Library, one of the world’s ugliest buildings, and the Bill Clinton statue (yep, he’s quite the hero in Kosovo!).

More cultural gems include the Cathedral of Saint Mother Teresa.

In Prizren, the Prizren Fortress has spectacular views over the city. There are also many museums to learn more about European, and more specifically Balkan, history.

Nature lovers and keen hikers can also take a day trip to Peja, where there are scenic trails, or journey to one of the less well-known national parks.

St. Petersburg, Russia

By Ellis of Backpack Adventures

St Petersburg, Russia

St Petersburg in Russia is not only a gem of a city but is also one of the best places to travel alone in Europe.

Some of the major costs for solo travellers are taxis and hotels. However, St. Petersburg has an excellent public transport system that is easy to navigate.

Furthermore, the city has lots of hostels where it is easy to meet other travellers.

There are lots of solo travel-friendly things to do.

First of all, St. Petersburg is full of interesting museums that you can explore at your own pace. The most famous of these is the Hermitage, where you can easily spend a whole day.

As well as the museums, there are the 18th and 19th-Century palaces of the Romanov tsars and their families. These European palaces are not only worth a visit because of their opulent and extravagant rooms inside, but also for their beautiful palace gardens.

St Petersburg is a year-round destination. Visit in the summer for the long nights and to see the bridges open up over the Neva River. Go to St Petersburg in winter for cold, snowy days and the beauty of the frozen Neva.

Salzburg, Austria

By Carolyn of Holidays to Europe

Salzburg, Austria

With an abundance of stunning architecture, a pretty old town and its connection to some musical icons, both classical and modern, the Austrian city of Salzburg is a wonderful destination for solo travellers.  And the city’s excellent public transport connections to Austria and beyond make it one of the best places to visit in Europe.

Top sights in Salzburg include the Cathedral, the 12th Century Residenz, Mozart’s Birthplace and Hohensalzburg Fortress, an imposing castle atop a hill overlooking the city.  All can be found close to the Old Town in the compact centre of the city.

Getreidegasse and Linzer Gasse, two of Salzburg’s most famous streets, are the places for retail therapy or to find the perfect souvenir. Amongst the shops and boutiques, you’ll find one of the city’s specialities on sale, a chocolate ball with a marzipan centre known as a Mozartkugel.

A short walk from the Old Town, and across the Salzach River, the Mirabell Palace and gardens are well worth a visit. Most visitors flock to the steps in front of Rose Hill to re-enact a famous scene from The Sound of Music.

Salzburg can be easily explored alone on foot, on a hop-on-hop-off bus, or even by horse-drawn carriage. But if you’d prefer some company, the Tourist Office offers a number of guided city tours every day. 

Sibiu, Romania

By Jade of The Migrant Yogi

Sibiu, Romania

Sibiu, a small city in Romania’s southern Transilvania, is an ideal destination in Europe for the solo traveller. 

First and foremost, Romania in general, and Sibiu in particular, are super safe.

Walking home alone at night is not a problem, even as a solo female traveller. There are people who will approach you at restaurants and ask for money if you’re sitting outside, but there are no aggressive tactics employed.

Sibiu is small and pedestrian-friendly, important if you’re not partial to taking public transportation. You’ll be able to walk amongst its colourful buildings and get lost in the winding cobblestone streets of the Old Town 

There’s no shortage of things to do in Sibiu, including restaurants serving delicious food, an impressive number of museums and open-air markets. You’ll never be bored in the European Cultural Capital in 2007.  

If you’re partial to nature, Sibiu is located in the Carpathian Basin. There is plenty of hiking and trekking options nearby, not to mention some gorgeous green parks.

The people of Romania are very friendly and English is widely spoken among the younger generations.

Whether you’re exploring Sibiu solo for a few days or a few months, this charming city will not disappoint.

Vienna, Austria

By Bridget of The Flashpacker

Vienna at Christmas

For elegant cafe culture with a twist of Mozart, Vienna is one of the best places to travel alone in Europe.

With its imperial architecture, magnificent museums, classical music scene and cafes galore, Austria’s capital is a superb destination for the solo traveller at any time of year. 

Take a journey from Ancient Rome to the Renaissance by exploring the vast collection of the Kunsthistoriches Museum. Visit Schloss Schönbrunn, one of the Hapsburg Empire’s palaces, in all its gilded glory.  

But perhaps the jewel in Vienna’s crown is the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Belvedere Palace, home to Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss (1908).

Finally, if you are visiting Vienna at Christmas, don’t leave the city before washing down a plate of Bratkartoffeln with glühwein (mulled wine) at one of the city’s Christmas markets. 

Wroclaw, Poland

By Veronika of Travel Geekery

Old Town Hall, Wroclaw, Poland

Wroclaw, Poland’s 4^th largest city, is a hidden gem in Central Europe and is an ideal solo travel destination for several reasons.

First, it’s easy to get there, whether you want to fly in or prefer taking the bus or the train.

Second, it’s safe. I wandered around in the evening and never felt unsafe. A close friend who calls Wroclaw home swears by the city’s safety too.

Third, it’s just so easy to walk around and explore. You can use public transport (trams & buses), but it’s easy to see Wroclaw’s main sights on foot as they’re located within a walking distance of each other.

In the heart of Wroclaw Old Town lies the Market Square with beautiful merchant houses and a monumental Old Town Hall. Many visitors to Wroclaw enjoy tracing the famous Wroclaw dwarfs.

Walk through Butcher’s Street and then stroll all the way to the lovely Tumski Island with its impressive cathedrals. 

This beautiful city doesn’t attract many visitors, yet there’s so much to see and do in Wroclaw.

Best Places to Travel Alone in Europe: Natural Wonders

Bansko, Bulgaria

By Sarah of Lets Grow Cook

Bansko, Bulgaria

Bansko is Bulgaria’s largest ski resort and one of the cheapest places to ski in Europe. But this mountain town is so much more than a ski resort. 

Bansko is located two hours from Sofia and 2.5 hours from Plovdiv, Bulgaria’s second city, and is served by great public transport connections. There are lots of places to stay here; self-catering accommodation, small family-run hotels and larger ones too, some with pools.  

There are two great co-working locations here in Bansko and, as such, the town has a great social life for solo travellers. With co-living spaces and hostels available, plus apartments for US$180 a month, there are cheap options for places to stay as a single traveller.

The town is easy to navigate on foot and there are great hiking and mountain biking activities with superb groups on Facebook for visitors to find out about activities with others. 

Eating out is cheap, with a great selection of Bulgarian mehanas, alongside more international foods. You’ll also find takeaway and delivery options too. 

From May onwards there are free outdoor festivals, including the Bansko Jazz festival, which has run for more than 20 years.

Highlands of Scotland

By Bridget of The Flashpacker

Valley of Glencoe, Scotland

Studded with deep lochs and soaring mountains, the Scottish Highlands is blessed with some of the most dramatic scenery on the planet.  

Better still, its abundance of outdoor activities provides ample opportunities for solo travellers to meet other people. If you prefer solitude, solo hiking is relatively safe as long as you don’t too far off the beaten path.

And if you love train travel as much as I do, you’re in luck. From catching the Caledonian Sleeper from London to the magical Harry Potter scenic train between Fort William and Mallaig, there’s no shortage of awe-inspiring trips.

Base yourself in Fort William to ride the Jacobite steam train and visit glorious Glencoe. Make the lovely city of Inverness your second base, the jumping-off point for Loch Ness and the historic Culloden battlefield.

Lake Bled, Slovenia

By Bridget of The Flashpacker

Lovely Lake Bled is the jewel in Slovenia’s crown.

This picturesque corner of Europe has many of the ingredients for a perfect solo travel break.

Slovenia is cheap by European standards, it’s relatively safe and has a good travel infrastructure.

Lake Bled has an abundance of walking trails, a castle perched on a hillside and an enigmatic island to visit. Traditional boats plough the turquoise waters of the lake, but if you prefer to confine your travelling to dry land, there’s the super scenic Bohinj Railway.

Lake Bled is a mecca for outdoor adventure enthusiasts and joining an organised tour to go canyoning / underground kayaking / ziplining / river rafting (delete as appropriate) is a fantastic way to meet other travellers.

If food and wine are more your thing, join a wine tasting session – Slovenian wines are very quaffable – and don’t leave town before biting into a slice of feather-light Lake Bled Cake.

Lake District, England

By Demi of Around The World With Her

The North of England has a reputation as being extremely friendly, making the area a great place to visit for a solo traveller. The Lake District, a UNESCO world heritage site, is a wonderfully friendly destination.

Full of quaint towns and villages, the Lake District is very visitor friendly. Base yourself in a small town such as Ambleside or Windermere to be in the best possible location.

The main activity for most visitors is hiking, something that can easily be done as a solo traveller. Views around the Lake District are incredible, so don’t forget your camera.

Local buses mean it is easy to get from town to town.

You can also travel a lot of the lakes by steamer boat. These traditional ferry boats are a great way to see the scenery from a different angle.

Or rent a bike and explore some of the cycle trails.

The Lake District is the kind of place where you say hello to everyone you meet whilst you are out and about.

If the sun is out, you will find everyone sitting in the afternoon in a scenic garden, enjoying a traditional English roast. Wander alone into any old English pub in the Lake District, and you are sure to make friends in a matter of minutes.

Northern Norway

By Alexander of Engineer On Tour

For natural wonders, Northern Norway is one of the best places to travel alone in Europe. From Arctic-connected Tromso up to Bodo, the “gateway to the North”, the things you can witness are incredible.

Why is it an excellent place for a solo traveller?

Well, I usually prefer going to big party destinations, like Madrid or Berlin, together with friends. But when it comes to nature destinations, I prefer going alone, especially if it is something challenging like mountainous Norway.

Norway allows you to test yourself, and somehow, after returning home, you feel stronger.

Northern Norway connects world-famous mountain views and small comfortable towns. But you don’t need to just visit tourist places. 

Unknown fjords are just as beautiful. If you go alone, you can easily choose routes, hike difficulty, and type of landscape according to your preferences and fitness.

If you go to Northern Norway, make sure you visit Tromso, the centre of Arctic Exploration and Saami culture. Make it on a ship through the Northern archipelago and long Raften Pass. And visit the jewel of Northern Norway – the Lofoten Islands. 

Provence, France

By Bridget of The Flashpacker

Cassis, Provence

The ease with which you can explore Provence by train as a solo traveller, fields filled with fragrant lavender, ancient Roman ruins, picture-perfect walled medieval cities and some of the best food and wine in the world. These are just some of the reasons why this region of France is perfect for those who are travelling alone. 

During a week in Provence, you can explore the ‘three As” – the historic cities of Avignon, Arles and Aix-en-Provence. For the history buffs amongst you, visit the amphitheatre at Orange and the sensational Pont du Gard, the tallest aqueduct bridge of the Roman world.

Moving south, spend a day in revitalised Marseilles, visiting the MuCEM, Marseille’s Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations, before relaxing in the quintessential Provençal portside town of Cassis.

And, of course, in summer there are the lavender and sunflower fields in full bloom.

Reykjavik, Iceland

By Bridget of The Flashpacker

It’s safe to say that Iceland isn’t the most budget-friendly destination for those travelling alone.

However, its crime rate approaches zero and, as a solo female traveller, harassment is also rare. It is easy to book excursions online or via one of the agencies in downtown Reykjavik, and Iceland is also a mecca for outdoor activities.

And there are tips and tricks for cutting costs when you visit Iceland.

Although in and of itself, Reykjavik is a superb solo city break, it is the access it provides to Iceland’s natural wonders that makes it outstanding. 

Take a day tour of the Golden Circle, a 300 km circular route that loops from Reykjavik into central Iceland, to explore the country’s rugged interior. Soak your cares away in the milky waters of the Blue Lagoon whilst sipping on a cool Icelandic beer. 

Yes. Iceland is expensive but you can cut costs as a solo traveller by bagging a good deal on accommodation and exercising self-restraint when drinking alcohol and eating out.

And the relatively high cost of booze means that, unlike some other European cities, such as Tallinn, Reykjavik is yet to become stag party central. And surely that has to be a good thing?

Zermatt, Switzerland

By Bridget of The Flashpacker

The Matterhorn at Riffelsee

If you are yearning to hike amongst mountain peaks, one of the best places to travel alone in Europe is Zermatt. 

The appeal of the town itself and the relative ease with which you can explore its surroundings makes Zermatt a fantastic solo travel destination at any time of year. 

The star of the show is the mighty Matterhorn, piercing the sky above the town like a harpoon tip.

To get the best view of the mountain, take a ride on the Gornergrat Railway. From here, there are also great hiking trails through mountain valleys and along woodland paths scattered with pine cones, accompanied by the soundtrack of gurgling mountain streams and distant cowbells.

To reach Zermatt, take the Glacier Express from St. Moritz, one of the world’s great train journeys. 

Best Places for Solo Travel in Europe: Countries

The eagle-eyed amongst you may be wondering why destinations in Italy, Spain and Portugal do not feature on this list of the best places to travel alone in Europe.

This is not because they are not great destinations for the solo traveller, but because it is impossible to narrow the choice down to one or two destinations in each of these countries. 

Solo traveller destinations in Italy, Spain and Portugal, therefore, deserve articles in their own right. But here’s why you should put these countries at the top of your destination list as a solo traveller.

Italy

By Bridget of The Flashpacker

Tuscany, Italy

This was one of the first countries that I visited as a solo traveller 30 years ago, and one to which I have returned more times than I can count.

Italy is known for many things.

For centuries, Italy’s landscape, history and food have drawn travellers from across the globe (for me, add Italian coffee bars and gelato!). The famous hilltop towns of Tuscany draw travellers from near and far but Italy has many other smaller, lesser-known jewels such as the Etruscan towns of Tuscania and Civita di Bagnoregio in Lazio.

Italy is every Renaissance fangirl or fanboy’s dream with world-famous art and architectural treasures too numerous to count. From Siena to San Gimignano, Urbino to the Uffizi, Cortona to Carrara’s marble mines, there’s something for everyone.

Over the years, Italy has developed a travel infrastructure that is second-to-none. There are choices of lodging to suit all budgets, places to eat in even the tiniest of hamlets and an extensive high-speed rail network.

There is a well-worn tourist trail, and English is widely spoken in Italy, especially in tourism hotspots and by younger people. And the familiarity that comes with unconscious immersion in the country’s food and culture, from its iconic paintings and sculptures to Italian cinema, makes Italy a super easy country for the novice solo traveller.

Spain

By Bridget of The Flashpacker

Alhambra, Granada

Spain ticks many of the boxes for an ideal solo travel destination. 

It has natural beauty in spades with wide, sandy beaches, rugged rocky coves and a highland plateau, straddled by dramatic mountain ranges.

Thanks to decades of mass tourism, it has an extremely well-developed infrastructure. There are accommodation choices to suit all budgets, restaurants are plentiful, English is widely spoken and the train network is extensive.  

One of the things that Spain is most famous for is its rich historical heritage, and it is second only to Italy in the number of UNESCO World Heritage sites. These number Granada’s majestic Alhambra Palace, Seville’s Cathedral and its Alcázar palace, Antoni Gaudí’s work in Barcelona (including the jaw-dropping La Sagrada Família) and Tarragona’s Roman ruins (to mention but a few).

Safety is always important to the solo traveller and Spain ranks in the top 10% of the safest countries in the world. But, as ever, watch out for petty crime such as pickpocketing in the cities.

Portugal

By Bridget of The Flashpacker

One of the cheapest countries in Europe, Portugal is one of the best places to travel alone.

Like Spain, it has a temperate climate and abundant natural beauty with a long beach-lined coastline, a mountainous north and the lush Duoro River valley, home to the oldest demarcated wine region in the world. 

Although not as well developed as that of its Iberian neighbour, Portugal’s travel infrastructure does allow independent exploration with its rail network covering major tourist hubs. And as Portugal is a relatively small country, this makes travel more manageable if you only have a few weeks to spare.

Finally, Portugal has been ranked as the third safest country in the world, welcome news for all solo travellers.

Solo travel in Europe: Final Thoughts

I hope that these recommendations inspire you to plan a future trip to Europe. For the most part, it’s an easy part of the world to visit as a solo traveller and has enough diversity to satisfy most people.

If you are not sure whether you are ready to explore Europe independently, why not join a group tour?

As well as being a relatively hassle-free way of travelling, there are many other benefits of a group tour as a solo traveller. There are lots of group travel companies out there but two companies that I have used and can recommend are Exodus Travels and Explore Worldwide!

You’ll have an expertly curated itinerary and you often gain valuable insights into the country, the people and its culture. Generally, there’s safety in numbers. Finally, if you fear solo travel loneliness, there’s the reassurance of ready-made travel companions.

I hope you get a chance to enjoy the places on this list and make lots of new travel friends in the process.

How to Plan a Perfect Itinerary for 2 Weeks in Europe

If this is your first time in Europe, you probably have quite a few places on your Europe bucket list. Without knowing anything about you or your interests, I can only give you basic, generic advice.

Below is a list of 10 suggested itineraries for the best way to see Europe in 2 weeks. The itineraries are grouped according to the different European regions. However, you can choose any combination from the cities listed here, according to your tastes and interests.

Western Europe 2 Weeks Itinerary

•

London, Paris, and Amsterdam

These three cities have more than enough to keep you engaged for 2 weeks. You can easily spend the entire two weeks in Paris, if you were to visit all its amazing churches and museums.

London, Amsterdam and Paris are among the Europe’s greatest cities and enjoy a perennial popularity, despite the many problems they have been facing lately. I think they are worth seeing at least once, even though they are always crowded.  

2 Weeks in Europe Itinerary: Paris, London, Amsterdam

You have excellent direct flights, trains, or bus connections between all three.  There are overnight trains between Lisbon and Madrid that run daily, departing at 11:34 p.m. and arriving in Madrid at 8:40 a.m. Also, there are direct flights, trains, or busses from Madrid to Barcelona.   

•

Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona 

All these Iberian cities are packed with culture, culinary delights and incredible landscapes. They are easy to reach from most major airports from around the world.

Although you could easily spend two weeks in Spain alone, visiting other historical places like Toledo, for instance, I suggest including Portugal in your European itinerary as well. Lisbon, its capital city, is not only very romantic and cultured, but also quite inexpensive. 

Book this private walking tour of the highlights of Lisbon and enjoy the history of this city.

Lisbon, Barcelona, Madrid

• Rome, Florence, and Venice 

These are three of Italy’s most captivating and rewarding cities. If you like archeology, you’ll love Rome! Florence and Venice are also very charming cities, although quite different from Rome. If you prefer to spend your time in one single country, this combination makes for one the best 2 weeks European itineraries.  

Italy has a wealth of archeological sites, most of which are concentrated in relatively compact areas. These three cities also have excellent train, bus, and plain connections (buy your ticket on omio.com).

Rome

Sicily is another great place in Europe where you can easily spend 2 weeks. There are so many archeological sites and beautiful towns in Sicily to add to your list! I promise that you won’t get bored if you choose to spend your entire European vacation on this island. 

Palermo alone can easily justify a 10-day Italy itinerary. You have good bus connections between cities, but Sicily is best explored by car. You can choose visit the nearby Malta if you go to Sicily.

Central Europe 2 Weeks Itinerary

Central Europe is becoming increasingly popular. 30 years ago, cities like Prague, Budapest, Dresden, or Wroclaw were largely unknown to the world traveler. But after the fall of communism, Central Europe experienced a strong cultural and tourist revival.

 • Prague, Vienna, and Budapest

Central Europe 2 Weeks Itinerary Idea

These three capitals have it all: beautiful architecture, fascinating history, packed concert calendars, and delicious food. For those who want to tour Central Europe, this itinerary is perfect.

Traveling by rail is the best way to go between these three, as distances are relatively short. You can buy tickets at the station right before the train is scheduled to depart.

 • Berlin, Dresden and Wroclaw     

Combining the cosmopolitan Berlin with the phoenix-city of Dresden and the picturesque Wroclaw, will give you a great understanding of what makes this part of Europe so fascinating. You have direct trains between all these cities.

Berlin, Dresden, Wroclaw

•

Zurich, Lucerne, Lugano and Milan      

You can never go wrong with Switzerland and the northern part of Italy! Cities like Lucerne, Zurich, Lugano and Milan have stunning scenery, art museums, old cathedrals, historic palaces, and more charm than you can imagine.  However they are not very big, so 2-3 days in each one would most likely be enough.  

2 Weeks European Itinerary: Zurich, Lucerne, Lugano, Milan Itinerary

The best way to move between these cities is by rail. Switzerland is famous for its top of the line panoramic trains, so you can choose to travel from Lucerne to Lugano aboard the Gotthard Panorama Express. You can also take the same route on a non-panoramic train  if you want to avoid paying the mandatory reservation fee.

Northern Europe 2 Weeks Itinerary

•

Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen      

These three cities are definitely in a league of their own. Although they can’t compete with Rome’s historic sites or with the charm of Paris, Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm have stunning architecture, world-class museums, and some of the best shopping and dining in Europe.

If you plan to spend your 2 weeks in Europe during the summer months, this itinerary is your best bet. While the rest of Europe is be boiling hot, Northern Europe enjoys much cooler temperatures and longer days in summer.

Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen

 • Riga, Tallin, and Vilnius      

I can’t mention Northern Europe without including a tour of the Baltic capitals. The Baltic States of Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania weren’t even on the map when I was growing up. But like many other European countries that lived in the shadow of the Soviet Union till the 90s, they have enjoyed a true renaissance in the past years.

If you want to travel somewhere your friends haven’t even heard of, you should visit the Baltic capitals. Plus these are among the cheapest countries to visit in Europe.

Talin, Vilnius, Riga

South-Eastern Europe Itinerary Ideas

The Balkan Peninsula is the most culturally diverse in Europe. This region has also an extremely varied topography. Bordered by the Adriatic and Ionian Sea to the west, Aegean Sea to the south, the Sea of Marmara to the southeast and the Black Sea to the east, the Balkan countries are stunningly beautiful.

There are so many great destinations in South-Eastern Europe, that it’s difficult to decide which ones to include into your itinerary. Here are two suggestions:

•

Athens, Istanbul, Bucharest        

If you plan to build your itinerary around these three cities, you could spend 3 days in Athens, 7 days in Istanbul and 2-3 days in Bucharest. Or you can choose spend your entire 2 weeks trip to Europe by visiting just one country.

Countries like Greece, Turkey, or Romania have plenty of amazing sites to keep you entertained and engaged for 14 days.  

Athens, Istanbul, Bucharest

The best way to travel between these 3 countries is by plane. Between Istanbul and Athens you an use Pegasus Airlines (a budget airline) and between Istanbul and Bucharest you can use Turkish Airlines.

 • Ljubljana, Split, Dubrivnik, Kotor     

These four cities will take you through 3 of the most beautiful countries in the Balkans: Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro. The best way to travel between these cities would be by car or by bus, as there are no train connections between Split and Dubrovnik.

For those who want to rent a car to drive through the Balkans, I recommend this 14 days Balkans road trip itinerary. If you have a car, you can extend your itinerary to some other points of interest in this region.

How to Plan a 2 Weeks Trip to Europe

Being born and raised in Europe I always get asked these two questions: when is the best time go to Europe and what is the best itinerary for a first time visit to Europe. My answer it’s always the same: it depends what you want to do in Europe and how much time you can spend there.

If this is your first time in Europe and all you have is 14 days, there are a few things to consider before deciding what to add to your list:      

 • Keep your travel plans simple     

Most first time visitors to Europe are determined to see as much as possible on that first trip. Keep in mind that Europe is a big and diverse continent. There is a lot to see everywhere you go. Fitting all your bucket-listed locations in a 2 weeks trip to Europe is nearly impossible.      

 • Start with the most popular cities   

Your first trip to Europe is not the best time to go off the beaten path. I recommend sticking to the big cities, even though they are more crowded. Major European cities have it all: top notch museums, beautiful architecture, great restaurants and a vibrant nightlife.

Besides, they are big transportations hubs and are cheaper for flying in and out of Europe.

Paris

• Choose to visit places that are close to each other   

The closest major European cities are at least two hours apart, whether you travel by car, by train, or by plane. Transit between cities takes at least half a day, if you consider the time you need to check out of one hotel and check into your next one. Therefore, you won’t be able to do much sightseeing on the day you travel.        

 • Plan to spend at least 3-4 days in each city you visit   

While it’s possible to cover more than half a dozen countries in your 14 days in Europe, just running between destinations doesn’t mean you actually visited them! If you want to see at least the major sights, you should plan to spend a minimum of 3-4 days in each city you visit.

• Book an open-jaw ticket     

If you plan on touring a specific region or doing a multi-destination trip, you can often save a lot of time and money with booking one.

How to spend 2 weeks in Europe

Once you’re further along in your planning process, you can use our Travel Resources page for the best deals in airfare, accommodations and local guided tours.

• Rent a car only if you are planning to travel outside the big cities, where parking is expensive and difficult to find. Nonetheless, sometimes renting a car will save you a lot of time and is obviously more comfortable. We usually use Discovercars when we travel in Europe.

Tips for Spending 2 Weeks in Europe

 

• Stay as close as you can to the city center    

Hotel rates are higher in the city center, but it’s worth paying the extra dollars if you can afford it. You’ll save time and money on transportation.     

• Use Hotel Alternatives

AirBnB or VRBO for lodging instead of booking hotel rooms, especially if you travel in a bigger group. They are a much better deal and have beautiful apartments all around the world. For the same price you would pay for an average hotel, you could rent an entire apartment.    

• Don’t exchange money in the airport   

Airports, train stations, or tourist areas have the worst exchange rates. But if you look for an exchange office outside these areas, your hard earned money can go a way longer way. If no exchange booths are around, use the ATM machines throughout the city.    

   • Consider using public transportation

Driving a car Europe is an expensive and inconvenient complication. None of these European cities were built with cars in mind, so the roads are crowded and full of restrictions. Rather than worrying  about parking fees, one way streets, and pedestrian zones, consider using public transportation during your 2 weeks in Europe.    

 • Travel by train, or use budget airlines 

Train travel through Europe is one of the best ways to see the continent. The rail network is extremely developed and train service is very reliable. For longer distances, flying one of the many European airlines is also a great option.

There are over a dozen budget airlines in Europe that fly anywhere on the continent for unbelievably low prices. They charge extra for seats and luggage, but even so you can fly for as low as €30-40/one way.    

   • Dress comfortably

Dressing comfortably when you travel to Europe is very important, but avoid looking like a tourist. Not sure how to blend in with the locals? Read my guide about how to dress like a European. 

Buy the best shoes you can afford. I can stress enough the importance of wearing comfortable shoes while traveling in Europe. Many of the old European cities are still paved with cobble stones which are very rough on your soles.

   • Travel off season 

Everyone wants to travel when the weather is stable, but summers can be brutal in Europe: big crowds, expensive accommodations and airfare, busy trains and public transportation and very hot.

The best time to visit Europe is in fall or in spring, when temperatures are milder and there are less crowds. December is also a very popular time of year to visit Europe, when most European cities dress up for the holidays.

• Get acquainted with the European lifestyle

Most travelers to Europe expect to encounter cultural differences, yet when confronted with them they are always caught off guard. I wrote a very detailed post about what will surprise you as a first time visitor to Europe. These are very useful tips that you will need before traveling to Europe.

   Beach holidays in February

   If you are tired of cold and snowstorms, then exotic countries are the best choice for holidays in February. Warm air and gentle sea will give you and your children an unforgettable experience.
   However, when choosing where to fly with a child in February, you should pay attention not only to weather conditions, but also to the duration of the flight.
   After all, it is difficult for small passengers to endure 10-12 hour flights, especially with transfers.
   You should also think about the dangers that children may encounter during the holidays:

   • marine life
   • heat stroke
   • acclimatization
   • unusual food
   • and the epidemiological situation in the country.

   Therefore, a number of countries, such as Thailand or India, are difficult to attribute to places where you should go with a small child in February.

   But if your children have grown up, then in these countries they will be very interested, because they offer a lot of entertainment for every taste and age.

   Israel

   If you have planned a vacation for the end of February, then you should pay attention to Israel.
   The beach season is just opening here, and a relatively short flight and visa-free regime make this country especially attractive for recreation.
   Unfortunately, the temperature regime on the Mediterranean Sea in Israel in February is not very comfortable for swimming.
   But the Dead Sea will already please beach lovers – here the water temperature in February reaches 23 degrees. Therefore, it is best to go with a small child in February to those hotels where there are complexes with indoor pools filled with warm water.
   ha with children in Israel is Eilat, and the Golden Tulip Privilege (4 stars) and Magic Sunrise Club (5 stars) hotels will provide especially comfortable accommodation for young guests.

   Dominican Republic

   Magnificent beaches with white sand and azure sea will not leave indifferent neither children nor adults.

   The Dominican Republic is a great place to visit with children in February. You can go on a trip to starfish on a yacht, ride with dolphins or ride horses to a waterfall.

   The air temperature in the Dominican resorts in February is about 29-30 degrees during the day, and the water warms up to 26. In addition, February is the driest month of the year – it rains no more than 6 times a month.

   The best resort for families with children is Punta Cana, and when choosing a hotel for families with a child, you should pay attention to:

   • Melia Caribe Tropical 5,
   • Riu Palace Macao 5*,
   • Grand Palladium Bavaro Resort & Spa 5*,
   • Club Med Punta Cana 5*,
   • Elegance Punta Cana 5*
   • Dreams Resort

   Spa4*.

   These hotels have paid special attention to little travelers and taken care of entertainment for them.

   Of the minuses of rest in the Dominican Republic – a long flight and acclimatization due to climate change and time zones.

   Cuba

   Just like in the Dominican Republic, Cuba is in the middle of the tourist season.

   The most popular resort in the country is considered to be Varadero, and its beaches are among the best in the world. When choosing a hotel for families with children, you should give preference to hotels from the “family” category.

   Of the minuses – a long flight and acclimatization, the high cost of the tour.

   Dynamics of prices for tours to Cuba

   Thailand

   The air temperature in the resorts of Thailand in February is 32-35 degrees, and the water temperature is 28 degrees.

   The best places to stay in this country are Hua Hin (especially children will enjoy the trip to the monkey mountain, where you can feed the animals with bananas), Phuket, Krabi and Koh Samui .

   Of the minuses – a rather long flight and the epidemiological situation in the country (remember that you can not drink tap water).

   Vietnam

   The air temperature at the nearest resort to Ho Chi Minh City – Vuntgau is 33 degrees during the day, and the water is 26 degrees.

   In the southern part of the country, the tourist season is also in full swing, where the air temperature fluctuates between 20-31 degrees, and the water warms up to 26 degrees.

   Nha Trang is one of the most popular resorts in Vietnam where you should go with children.

   The best hotels for families with children in this resort are Sheraton Nha Trang Hotel & Spa 5*, Diamond Bay Resort & Spa 4*, Vinpearl Resort Nha Trang 5*, Sunrise Nha Trang Beach Hotel & Spa 5*, MerPerle Hon Tam Resort 5*. All of these hotels offer babysitting services and children’s activities.

   However, Vietnam is not one of those countries where children’s animation is developed, so don’t expect anything special.

   The resort of Vung Tau is attractive, first of all, for its beautiful beaches. From hotels for families with children, you should pay attention to Anoasis Beach Resort 4 *, Tropicana Beach Resort & Spa and The Grand Ho Tram Strip.

   Da Nang, located between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, is famous for its Chinese beach with palm trees and crystal clear waters. For families with children, Vinpearl Luxury Da Nang 5 *, Furama Resort Danang 5 * and Hyatt Regency Danang Resort & Spa 5 * hotels are suitable.

   Also, when relaxing with children, you should pay attention to the resort of Phan Thiet, 200 km from Ho Chi Minh City. Recommended hotels – Princess d’Annam Resort & Spa 5*, Victoria Phan Thiet Beach Resort & Spa 4*, Pandanus Resort 4*.

   Maldives

   Paradise Islands is a great but somewhat boring place to stay with kids as most of the hotels are adult oriented.

   However, when deciding where to go on vacation with a child in February, you should not exclude this island state, since a number of hotels are very favorable for children’s holidays.

   First of all, you should pay attention to the hotels Anantara Dhigu Maldives 5 * and One & Only Reethi Rah 5 * (in these hotels you can use babysitting services), and in Four Seasons Resort Landaa Giravaru 5 *, Kuramathi Island Resort 4 * and Bandos Island Resort 4 * developed a special children’s menu.

   The weather in the Maldives in February is perfect for a beach holiday – the water temperature does not drop below 24 degrees even at night.

   Of the minuses of holidays in the Maldives – the high cost and long flight, but the calm sea and wonderful tropical climate, and most importantly – the absence of poisonous snakes and insects will make your holiday unforgettable.

   United Arab Emirates

   In February in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, the air warms up to only 24 degrees during the day, and in the evening the temperature does not rise above plus 13 degrees, so you should take warm clothes with you.

   Fujairah is in the most advantageous position in terms of comfortable air and water temperature, where the temperature does not drop below +18 °C even at night, which is why there are so many vacationers here in February.

   On the coast of the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf, the temperature of the water in the sea gradually rises and reaches 20 ° C, which is still somewhat uncomfortable for swimming.

   Therefore, when choosing a tour, pay attention to hotels with indoor heated pools.

   The best hotels for families with children in the UAE are Atlantis The Palm, Sheraton Jumeirah Beach 5 * and Lou Lou Beach Resort.

   Ski resorts in Europe

   When planning where to go with your child in February, don’t forget about ski resorts. Especially if your child can already accompany you when skiing or snowboarding down the mountain.
   Austria also has resorts for families with children – Bad Gastein, Nassfeld, Schladming, Zell am See.

   All these resorts have special ski courses for children and children’s lifts, as well as kindergartens for the youngest visitors.

   And the beautiful mountains and clean air are excellent prevention of diseases after the smog of megacities!

   You can also go to the ski resort of Bansko in Bulgaria in February with a small child. This resort has excellent service and a special children’s menu has been developed that will help kids quickly adapt to new conditions.

   And for older children there are trails protected from the wind by the forest and entertainment centers.

   One of the biggest advantages of this resort, as well as other resorts in Bulgaria, is the absence of a language barrier, as the staff, as a rule, speaks good Russian.

   In Finland’s Levi ski resort, you can not only go skiing and relax in the water park, but also go to visit Santa Claus, who is resting in his residence after hard work in January.

   You can reach it in just an hour and give your child the feeling of an unforgettable fairy tale.

   One of the advantages of this resort is that it can be reached by car from St. Petersburg.

   Morillon is one of the most famous resorts in France. This resort has excellent conditions for families with children from 6 months. The organizers have provided a lot of entertainment for little vacationers – a water park, balloons, dog teams, swimming pools and children’s tracks with chocolate at the finish line. This resort has been awarded the Famili Plus label.

   Les Houches resort is another owner of this sign.
   For young athletes, the Italian ski resort Madonna Di Campiglio, located in Trentino, is the most suitable. It was in it that the stage of the Alpine Skiing World Cup was held in 2013 and competitions for children are regularly held, which is an excellent motivation for learning to ski. For kids, unfortunately, special entertainment at this resort is not yet provided.

   The fabulous resort of Åre, located in Sweden, will turn your trip into a real fairy tale. You can try game dishes, ride a reindeer sleigh or go to the hut on snowmobiles. And for beginner skiers, there is a 15-step system for teaching skiing on special tracks.

   Holidays in Russia

   In addition to foreign resorts, you can go with a child in February to ski resorts in Russia.

   One of the best places in this category is Puzhalova Gora, located 80 km from Nizhny Novgorod.

   This resort has a special children’s club, Penguin Country, which teaches skiing to children aged 4 to 12.

   In addition to ski tours, when choosing a holiday within the country, it is worth noting children’s excursion tours to St. Petersburg.
