    What’s the weather like in Fuerteventura in February?

    Fuerteventura enjoys warm weather all year round due to its location off the west coast of Africa. As one of the ‘Islands of Eternal Spring’, it doesn’t feel like winter in February because you’ll get lots of sun and hardly any rain.

    Climatic influences

    Fuerteventura’s the closest Canary island to Africa, just over 100km from Morocco’s coast. The Sahara Desert has a big impact on the weather, pushing temperatures up when it sends over hot winds and the occasional dust storm, with February one of the most likely months for these. The Canary Current and north easterly winds will usually keep you cool though. Lanzarote’s just north of Fuerteventura, which means you’ll get warmer, drier and more consistent weather here than other Canary islands.

    Averages

    The average high temperature in Fuerteventura during February is 21ºC, which is perfectly warm enough to spend long days at the beach. You’ll need some warmer clothes as well as your swimwear though, as things can get quite cool in the evening. The usual sea temperature’s 18ºC, while humidity’s low and rainfall’s typically 19mm over three rainy days. You can expect 11 hours of daylight with seven hours of sunshine each day, and UV levels will be high so don’t forget to pack the sun cream. Sunset’s around 6.45pm.

    6 Warm Places to Visit in January, February, and March — Club Wyndham

    For many, winter means bundling up in puffy coats to battle freezing temps and sudden snow squalls. Throw in the lack of sunshine due to daylight savings and it’s enough to have anyone feeling a bit down. Thankfully, there’s a simple cure. Ditch the boots and break out your bikinis and board shorts, because you’re due for a dose of vitamin sea. These six resorts are the perfect travel destinations for some well-deserved winter sun.

    1. Palm Springs, California

    While temperatures do dip after dark, Palm Springs enjoys average highs in the mid-70s during the winter months. For this reason, winter might just be the best time to visit. Sun seekers in search of a relaxing, downtown resort should head to WorldMark Palm Springs. Both a peaceful oasis and a central home base, the resort is minutes away from the hub of stylish boutiques and buzzy restaurants along Palm Canyon Drive. For a more adventurous outing, it’s easy to explore the nearby Coachella Valley by hiking or horseback.  

    2. St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Island

    Picture yourself on a private beach, palm trees gently swaying, with an ice-cold cocktail in hand. Say, “so long” to your winter woes and head to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Margaritaville Vacation Club by Wyndham – St. Thomas awaits. This retreat is tucked within a sheltered cove ideal for snorkeling. In case you decide to venture away from the resort’s secluded beach, St. Thomas offers all sorts of activities from water sports to diving shipwrecks.

    3. Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

    There’s a reason your favorite ’90s sitcom always had a “Hawaii episode.” The state’s islands enjoy year-round warmth and sunshine, making it an easy choice for winter sun. The Big Island beckons outdoor enthusiasts with waterfalls, volcanoes and black-sand beaches to explore. Club Wyndham Kona Hawaiian Resort offers an inviting escape close to the shops, restaurants and nightlife in the Kona district. For those seeking something more adventurous, drive over to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

    4. Isla Mujeres, Mexico

    Just off the coast from Cancun, this small, serene island offers a welcome respite from the winter chill. Watch the boats sail through the central marina from your room at WorldMark Isla Mujeres. From here, the island’s best restaurants, sights, and activities are all a short walk away. Head north to swim and sunbathe at picturesque Playa Norte beach, or venture south to Garrafon Park for adrenaline-pumping adventures like zip lining and snorkeling.

    5. San José del Cabo, Mexico

    Perched at the very tip of Baja California, San José del Cabo is the ultimate winter sun destination. Settle in to WorldMark Coral Baja, then take in all that Cabo has to offer. Fill up on Baja fish tacos, sample mezcal, practice your golf swing, or simply take it easy poolside. Mid-December to mid-April is also prime whale watching season, so the odds are in your favor to spot a variety of humpback, gray, or blue whales on your winter getaway.

    6.

    Clearwater Beach, Florida

    Every winter, snowbirds flock to Florida to get their sunshine fix. On the Gulf Coast, Club Wyndham Clearwater Beach is located squarely at the center of everything. Go from your bedroom to the beach in minutes, greeted by the powder-soft sand beneath your toes. Enjoy a warm welcome at any of the friendly neighborhood eateries — the most popular spots are nearby, right next to Clearwater’s iconic Pier 60.

     

    Weather, Places to Visit, Things to Do

    In many experts’ opinions February is considered the best month to visit Costa Rica and take that Family Costa Rica Vacation or Honeymoon that you have been dreaming about. Generally speaking, February offers the best chance for dry, sunny weather throughout your stay. This is the heart of the dry or summer season.

    In the most popular destinations throughout Costa Rica, the weather tends to be warmer and dry. With travelers looking to escape the winter in North America, as well as Spring & Winter Breaks at some schools, it is considered the high season, but it is not overly crowded or ridiculously expensive.

    Typically, the availability during February is quite reasonable, and there are no peak season surcharges or fees that exist during the Christmas, New Years and Easter holidays.

    VIDEO: What it’s Like Visiting Costa Rica in February

    What is the Weather Like in Costa Rica in February?

    In our opinion, February is one of the best two months to travel (March being the other best month to visit). Not only is February right in the middle of the dry or summer season in Costa Rica, but the crowds and pricing also tend to be favorable, as well. During February, the Central Valley, Pacific beaches and Guanacaste areas are in full summertime swing. These areas of Costa Rica will offer travelers the ideal and picturesque Costa Rican weather with very little rain. What little rain falls usually comes as afternoon or evening showers, when the moisture is openly welcome to cool things down and replenish the lost moisture from the hot day.

    In February, as is the case for 10 of the 12 months on the year, it’s significantly wetter on the Caribbean slope and coast. Longer, extended periods of rain are not a rarity; however full days of sunshine and dry days can happen as well.

    February has the lowest rate of precipitation for Costa Rica. Standard high temperatures on the beaches and in the lowlands range from the low to mid-80s, although 90s are possible. The low temperatures can range from the mid to upper 60s to the low 70s. As you ascend into the mountains of the Central Valley around the Alajuela and San José areas the highs and lows are typically 6-12 degrees cooler. In the higher elevations around the cloud forest destinations, like Cerro de la Muerte, Monteverde and the Chirripó area, the high temperatures typically do not exceed the mid-70s.

    What to Pack for a Trip to Costa Rica in February

    All travelers will receive a copy of our basic Costa Rica Escape adventure packing list. Traveling light in Costa Rica is typically pretty easy, but will depend on how long you stay, where you go and what you do. No matter what, always bring high-quality sunscreen & bug repellant as this and other toiletries can be very expensive to purchase in Costa Rica. To learn more, view our detailed Costa Rica Packing List article.

    Holiday, Festivals & Places to Visit in Costa Rica in February

    • Mardi Gras in Esterillos – This traditional celebration takes place on the Central Pacific Coastal towns just north of Quepos and south of Jaco. Here you’ll experience a carnival with parades, street-fare, live music, and children activities. This typically happens in mid-February.
    • San Isidro del General Fiestas – This is an agricultural and very traditional Costa Rica, local fair with bullfighting and traditional livestock competitions. The famous Toro a la Tica events are a very popular and unique event that the Ticos enjoy. This fair happens in Perez Zeledon during the first week of February.
    • CENAC Summer Festival – Free storytelling, theater, movies and other entertainment at the National Cultural Center in San Jose. February 13-16.
    • Puntarenas Carnaval: A lively, seven-day, local celebration with plenty of traditional food, music and beer in the coastal town of Puntarenas during the last week of February.
    • Sun Festival – An annual celebration of the Mayan New Year on February 25 that culminates in a fire ceremony and a gathering to promote solar power. Last week of February.
    • Liberia Fiestas – Guanacaste folklore and traditions are celebrated with music, rides and concerts throughout Liberia. Last week of February.

    Top 5 Things to Do on a Trip to Costa Rica in February

    1. Pacuare River Rafting – with water levels at a perfect balance, now is the time to get out and explore this magnificent river & the surrounding biological indigenous jungle reserve. You can embark on this adventure on our Remote Adventure itinerary or our Avid Explorer trip. Read our Rafting Costa Rica’s Pacuare River article.
    2. Sunset Catamaran & Snorkel Sail – Whether you are on the Central or Northwestern Pacific Coast, these multi-adventure sailing tours are a great way to get out on the water and explore the marine life. When you are done with the snorkeling, you can swim ashore to explore a remote beach, and enjoy the perfect winds as you set sail.
    3. Canyoning & Waterfall Rappelling – With warm temps and sunny skies this river activity is a great way to keep cool and experience adventure from new heights as you descend waterfalls and river canyons with a professional guide in Arenal or Turrialba.
    4. Visit a Volcano – Most of the rest of the year, volcanoes keep their mysterious intrigue by being shrouded in high-altitude clouds, but lots of sunshine and cool northern breezes make February a great time to explore one of Costa Rica’s many volcanoes. Read our Costa Rica Volcanoes & Mountain Ranges article.
    5. Traditional Fiestas – For those travelers that are interested in cultural activities, February is a great month to learn more about the local customs and culture, which is full of fiestas.

    The Bottom Line on February in Costa Rica

    February is the perfect month to visit Costa Rica with lots of sunshine and plenty of fun in nature. With the passing of the holidays and Spring Break bearing down, travelers visiting Costa Rica in February will be able to get a more secluded and unique travel experience in February. Make sure that you consult with an experienced itinerary design agency like Costa Rica Escapes ensuring that you have an unforgettable visit!

    Where is hot in February? The best places for summer holidays in winter

    Monday, January 10, 2022

    The world is returning to the dock-like regime, when at any moment a frozen Ukrainian could go in search of blue skies and warm sun anywhere on the planet.

    But, of course, the world has not yet become completely former. Some destinations are still closed, while tests, vaccination certificates and other restrictions remain in place. When planning a trip, first of all, read the rules for entering the selected country. The interactive map of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is updated online and contains the latest information on all tourist destinations.

    In the meantime, here are the top 5 hottest places in February.

    Cancun: +32.2°C

    Cancun is the hottest of all the holiday destinations on our list. On average, the temperature here is kept at a relatively comfortable 28 degrees, but jumps above 32 are not uncommon. The beautiful beaches of the Mexican resort allow you to safely enjoy the heat and the scorching sun, especially since the average daily number of hours of sunshine is not so great – only six. Also, February in Cancun is one of the driest months of the year, so this is the perfect time for excursions and outdoor activities. You can take a break from the heat at night, when the air temperature often drops to +18°C. Then the sea becomes the warmest place, which warms up above 26 ° C and gives off heat to the coast.

    Sri Lanka: +32°C

    February is the driest month on the island, which means that vacationers will feel as comfortable as possible. Who knows what the 90-100% humidity that happens in Sri Lanka in March is, they will understand. February is also the quietest month, when the winds subside and the sea calms down. The daytime temperature is around 30°C, often a little higher, but at night it drops to +23°C. The weather in Sri Lanka in February is suitable both for a beach holiday and for excursions and sightseeing of the island. A bonus for vacationers in February is a large number of exotic fruits, which are just beginning to ripen.

    Antigua: +30°C

    The Caribbean is hot all year round, but February is actually one of the best times of the year. Antigua’s average rainfall in February is the lowest of any month of the year, according to the Met Office. Temperatures throughout the Caribbean can reach 30°C in February and drop to a comfortable 20°C at night. It’s also the best time of year to avoid humidity, so if you can’t stand sticky heat, then February is your best time of year.

    Cape Town: + 27.3°C

    The average temperature in Cape Town in February is 27.3°C, the hottest month of the year. The sun shines here at least 10 hours a day. It is also one of the driest months of the year with only 10mm of rainfall. So this is an ideal place for those who are tired of the dank dampness of the house.

    Cairo: + 20.5°C

    In Cairo in February, daytime temperatures in February reach around 21°C. Sometimes it can hit even 28°C, but at night it will be spring-like cool anyway, sometimes up to 11°C. So the last item on our list is more suitable for lovers of moderate heat. But the sun appears here as for work, at least 8 hours in a row. There is little precipitation in Cairo in February, only 3-4 mm throughout the month. However, for the desert capital of Egypt, this is even a lot, so in some ways February is one of the most comfortable months in an exhaustingly hot climate.

    You can read about the conditions of entry for Ukrainians to these and other hot countries in our material “Summer in the middle of winter”.

    Climate and Weather – Weather in Tenerife in February

    Is February a good time to visit Tenerife?

    February may be the coolest month on Tenerife, but it is still possible to catch a tan on all the island beaches. Plenty of sunshine and warmth with the odd spot of rain is the outlook for February weather in Tenerife, except perhaps for the interior mountain slopes on the Teide. It gets colder the higher you go, so why not sunbathe in the morning and ski in the afternoon! The only blight on a holiday in Tenerife in February is the slim possibility of a dust storm or two, blown in by the calima (south-easterly trade wind).  

     

    Climate in Tenerife in February

    Tenerife in February is actually in the midst of winter weather, but it is hard to credit this fact when the average temperature for the south coast beach resorts is 22°C, and only a few degrees cooler in the north of the island around the capital, Santa Cruz De Tenerife. On the upper slopes of Mount Teide (at the Izana Observatory 2371m above sea level) it is pretty chilly though, with a maximum temperature of 8°C and a minimum of 1. 5°C – and the mountain is coated with snow.

     

    What to do in Tenerife in February

    Soak up the sun, go deep sea fishing, take a scenic drive, ride the cable car up snowy Mount Teide, shop for designer brands, enjoy the buzzing nightlife – Tenerife is packed with diversions to suit everyone, from couch potatoes to the super-fit. In the middle of the month don’t miss the fantastic Tenerife Carnaval – one of the biggest carnivals in the world – opening with a colourful parade through Santa Cruz and ending with a massive fireworks display.

     

    What to pack for a holiday in Tenerife in February

    Bring your swimsuit, shorts and sunscreen, but you may well need trousers and a warm jumper at night in Tenerife in February. The north of the island can be chilly, so if going exploring take an anorak and trainers. If you plan on  cresting Mount Teide or the other interior mountains, snow gear is advisable in February. Rainfall is sparse, but possible, so perhaps a waterproof poncho in your daypack may be useful.

    23 Warm Places to Visit in January in the USA

    This article may contain affiliate links. This means that when you click on products we recommend through a link, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you. For more information, please read our disclaimer page.

    Looking to escape frigid winter temps? January is the month to do it! There’s no reason to shovel snow and endure gloomy gray skies when you could be basking on a beach or setting sail under blue skies and an easy sea. From Hawaii’s tropical islands and So Cal beaches to tempting desert getaways and favorite festivals, this is the ultimate guide to the very best warm places to visit in January in the USA!

    Here’s how to thaw out this winter…

    1. Maui, Hawaii, for Whale Watching

    With temps in the mid-70s, Maui makes the ideal warm weather getaway in January. Plus, it’s prime time for whale watching!

    The Auau Channel here, just off the coast of Lahaina, is where the action is.

    You’ll find mostly humpback whales who’ve migrated here from Alaska to mate and give birth this time of year.

    The best way to see them is on an eco-friendly tour with a naturalist guide.

    Choose Maui for your January getaway if you’re looking for top notch resorts and gorgeous beaches.

    You’ll find the best Maui resorts and hotels in West Maui near Kaanapali and Kapalua as well as Wailea in South Maui. Kihei makes a nice family-friendly base on island.

    In addition to whale watching and beach time, your Maui itinerary must include driving the scenic Road to Hana, sunrise or sunset in Haleakala National Park, and snorkeling the legendary Molokini Crater.

    Musts for your Maui packing list? Water shoes, reef safe sunscreen, and a rash guard.

    Maui makes the perfect warm place to visit in the USA in January!

    2. San Diego, California, for So Cal Beaches

    With mild temperatures and clear skies, San Diego is an incredible January destination that boasts rugged beaches, maritime history, and some incredible fish tacos. 

    San Diego in winter has dreamy January weather with daily highs around 65 degrees. It’s a perfect winter getaway to escape those post-holiday winters. 

    Head to Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve for breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the rugged, unspoiled wilderness.

    The water isn’t quite warm enough for a swim, but you won’t mind because there’s eight miles of trails with spectacular ocean views. 

    La Jolla Cove is one of the best things to do in San Diego…and a family favorite.

    Don’t miss this cliff-lined beach famous for its playful sea lions and other marine life you can watch from the sand or explore in a kayak. 

    January in San Diego is also a perfect time for some surfing lessons.

    The ocean is easily doable in a wetsuit and bonus… you’ll avoid the summer tourist crowds. Head to Pacific Beach for lessons, or stroll the lively boardwalk.

    Don’t miss Taco Tuesdays for margaritas and fish tacos at the eateries along Garnet Avenue. 

    For history buffs, there’s the Maritime Museum of San Diego with its collection of submarines and historic vessels.

    The vessels are all docked right in the water and you climb aboard the ships to view the exhibits.

    The USS Midway Museum is another great floating museum with a 4-acre flight deck lined with restored aircraft. 

    With more time, day trip north to cute little Encinitas!

    3. Puerto Rico for Rum Splashed Days

    January is a fabulous time to visit San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico. Days are warm and sunny, with highs in the low 80s, making it a great time to explore outdoors.

    And if you enjoy local culture, January also features a number of local festivals. 

    Among the many things to do in Old San Juan, the colorful historic district, visiting the old fortifications (now a National Historic and UNESCO World Heritage Site) is a must.

    The forts offer spectacular views over San Juan Bay, as well as a peek into the city’s past. 

    Eating and drinking are big reasons to visit San Juan!

    Puerto Rico is known for its rum, and you must visit a rum distillery to see how it’s made (and sample some infused rum). Local cuisine features plantains, meats, and rice and beans…all super flavorful!

    Of course, there are lots of beautiful sandy beaches you can visit; head directly to Isla Verde and Condado. (And yes, you can enjoy the water in January, so bring your swimwear!)

    Among the festivals you can attend in January, the Fiestas de la La Calle San Sebastian is famous.

    You’ll enjoy lots of live music, dancing, and acrobatic performances in the evenings if you visit during this multi-day festival!

    During the day, browse the offerings by local artisans.

    4. Oahu, Hawaii, to See Big Wave Riders

    While Oahu is best known for Waikiki Beach near Honolulu and iconic Pearl Harbor, there’s a particularly unique reason to head to Oahu in January.

    Visit Oahu’s wild north shore for a chance to see big wave riders compete on some of the craziest surf you’ll ever see! It’s an unforgettable experience.

    North Shore Oahu is a lot like Kauai…It’s feels remote and untouched. You won’t find a lot of amenities here but the food trucks on the north shore are tops!

    In addition to smoothies, pizza, and tacos, you’ll find plenty of shrimp trucks which are unique to this island.

    The best way to enjoy a week in Oahu, in my experience, is to choose two bases—one in the south and one on the north shore—to minimize drive time to see all the sights.

    You’ll want to hike Diamond Head—one of Hawaii’s most famous landmarks—snorkel Hanuama Bay, and explore the beautiful windward coast. Plan plenty of time for hiking on Oahu, too.

    Note: in 2022, the state of Hawaii implemented an advance reservation system for popular tourist sites so be sure to plan ahead.

    How to Rent a Car for Your January Vacation

    My top two recs are:

    1. Discover Cars has no hidden fees, 24/7 customer service, and free cancellation. They search all the major rental car companies so you don’t have to.

    Check price and availability on rental cars here.

    2. Turo is like Airbnb for cars. It saved us $$$ during the pandemic on our Hawaii rentals when rental car prices were sky high.

    5. Florida Keys for Island Time

    When visiting the Florida Keys, January is the sweet spot!

    You want to arrive after hurricane season but before it gets too hot again.

    That sweet spot makes for a perfect escape from snow boots to flip flops! Leaving the hustle of the holiday season behind for the laid back island life.

    As you leave Miami, your first stop should be Alabama Jack’s in North Key Largo.

    Relax by the water, enjoy the live music, and slip into island time while enjoying the best conch fritters you’ll find anywhere.

    Each of the key islands (there are more than 800) will give you a different vibe.

    While you’re sure to find your own favorite, popular keys are Key Largo, Islamorada, and, of course, Key West. 

    The common theme throughout is the beauty of nature all around you. 

    Leave your car behind and hit the crystal clear blue waters for scuba, snorkel or floating before hitting up the amazing restaurants and historic locations here.

    6. San Luis Obispo, CA, for Foodie Fun

    Looking to escape the winter cold? San Luis Obispo, on California’s charming central coast, is a fun place for a January vacation. Plus, it’s not far from gorgeous Big Sur!

    While it’s not warm enough to swim at area beaches, daytime highs in the mid 60s are perfect for exploring outdoors.

    And bring your appetite, because January is Restaurant Month in SLO!

    Among the many things to do in San Luis Obispo, you’ll want to tour the SLO Mission, located right in the heart of downtown.

    Visit the museum, and tour the tranquil grounds, where you will find the old bells of the mission.

    Downtown SLO makes for a lively wander, with numerous boutiques, art galleries, cafes, and restaurants.

    If you happen to be in town on a Thursday evening, do not miss the Farmers’ Market, where you can enjoy music and street performers and sample yummy treats. 

    SLO is home to several small museums if you want to delve deeper into local history and culture.

    And if the outdoors is more your thing, bring your hiking shoes and take to the trails. 

    Wine lovers will want to schedule tastings at Edna Valley or nearby Paso Robles, and if you enjoy barbecue, be sure to sample Santa Maria style barbecue when you are in town!

    7. Phoenix, Arizona, for Desert Hikes

    Phoenix, Arizona is one of the most pleasant US destinations in January, making it a spectacular place to visit…for a few days or the entire month.

    Many snow birds—people living in northern US states or Canada—choose to spend many months in Phoenix every winter.

    However, the Cactus League, Major League Baseball’s pre-season, is not yet in full swing in January so it’s easier to find decent Phoenix hotel room rates.

    In January in Phoenix, average high temperatures are 60s and low 70s.

    With super low humidity and desert climate, it feels just about perfect. And after any type of rain shower, desert cacti bloom with vibrant color flowers. It is a spectacular sight. 

    Fun things to do in Phoenix in January include desert hikes and mountain bike rides (note that rattlesnakes are still hibernating!), and hot air balloon rides.

    When the sun is too intense or you otherwise want to head indoors, check out the phenomenal Musical Instrument Museum, Taliesin West (Frank Lloyd Wright’s home), Heard Museum, and the many mouth-watering restaurants here.

    Phoenix is the USA’s fourth largest city so you’ll find diverse cuisines and cultural activities to enjoy here.

    8. Big Island, Hawaii, to See a Lava Lake

    Have you ever seen a lava lake? On Hawaii’s Big Island, visitors can see an active lava eruption of the Kilauea volcano at Volcanoes National Park here. It is something to behold!

    If you have only have 3 days on Big Island, spend one days snorkeling near Kona and one day at Volcanoes National Park.

    You’ll find ancient petroglyphs and lava tubes here in addition to otherworldly hikes.

    Then explore the unusual black lava beaches on the west side of the island. You’ll also want to book a night swim with manta rays!

    It’s one of the most unique and popular things to do in Hawaii…and it’s only on Big Island!

    With more time, head over to the east side of the island near rain forested Hilo for spectacular waterfalls.

    Akaka Falls in Akaka Falls State Park makes a great stop. Then explore the wild Hamakua Coast.

    You’ll also find the memorable Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden here. It’s worth every penny to wander through its rare plant collections and orchid garden.

    9. New Orleans, Louisiana, for Carnival

    One of the best warm places to visit in the USA in January is New Orleans, Louisiana.  

    January means cooler temperatures in New Orleans, making it an optimal time to enjoy all the fun this city has to offer.

    This is the time of year when New Orleans is gearing up for their most beloved time period, Carnival season!

    The Mardi Gras parades begin to kick off the first week of January, and the locals are all enjoying a treat that can only be eaten during Carnival, king cake. 

    With that in mind, be sure to check out the parade schedule so that you don’t miss this fun time of year during your visit. 

    Of course, the cooler temperatures in the city mean that you can stroll the amazing streets of the French Quarter and the Garden District without pouring sweat! 

    Check out famous Jackson Square, Cafe du Monde to taste beignets, and wander Bourbon Street before you get off the beaten path to explore Frenchmen Street, the Bywater District, and the historic Treme neighborhood.

    One of the best things to do in New Orleans is to just walk around and take in the vibrant atmosphere around you.

    Enjoy the European-influenced architecture as a jazz band plays on the street corner.  This is New Orleans. Take it all in!

    10. US Virgin Islands for Beach Time

    Looking to escape the winter to a slice of Caribbean paradise without a passport?

    Even in the coldest month of the year, January is an ideal time to visit the United States Virgin Islands as the weather is dry and sunny, with temperatures averaging at 79 Fahrenheit.

    With a relatively short and inexpensive flight from the US, take your holiday to islands that offer stunning beaches, lots of tourist attractions and viewpoints, and a laid-back atmosphere.

    USVI is made up of three major islands: St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas, each with its own character and attractions.

    St. Thomas is the most developed of the three, famous for duty-free shopping, historical attractions, water sports, and beach-hopping.

    Learn about the Caribbean’s pirate history or explore the beautiful turquoise seas of Magen’s Bay to catch sight of swimming turtles.

    The best place to soak up the spectacular views of Magen’s Bay and neighboring islands? Head up to St. Thomas’s highest point, Mountain Top, while sipping on their famous banana daiquiri.

    Finally, pack your bags to set sail to the other islands for a day trip or longer!

    You may even get a chance to see the tail end of the month-long Crucian Christmas Festival on St. Croix, which ends the first Saturday of the New Year.

    11. Charleston, South Carolina, for Historic Homes

    January is an excellent time to visit Charleston, South Carolina.

    With relatively warm weather (high 50s to low 60s), it makes touring this city very enjoyable.

    Moreover, Charleston sees much smaller crowds in January, so you will feel like you have the city all to yourself!

    One of the coolest things to do in Charleston during January is to tour historic homes and mansions.

    And one of the most notable mansions to tour is the Williams Mansion, also known as the Calhoun Mansion.

    This extravagant home is the largest privately owned home in the city and has over 30 rooms! 

    Another great home to tour if you love antiques and architecture is the Nathaniel Russel House.

    The home is notable for its lovely garden and three-story free-flying spiral staircase. 

    You also won’t want to miss the classic places to visit in Charleston including the Pineapple Fountain, the Battery, shops on King Street, plantations, and Rainbow Row. 

    If you happen to be visiting Charleston on the second Sunday of January, King Street is the place to be as it’s open only to pedestrians and is one of the most popular events that happen in Charleston!

    Kauai, Hawaii, for Unspoiled Wilderness

    If you’re a hiker or nature lover, Kauai is the best island to visit in Hawaii. It makes an ideal winter getaway.

    The best activities in Kauai all involve exploring nature here.

    Hiking the Kalalau Trail on the stunning Na Pali coast is a can’t miss experience…whether you just hike up the first half mile or reserve a permit months ahead to camp overnight.

    You’ll also want to see the green jagged cliffs from the water so be sure to also book a snorkel or sunset sail tour here.

    But be aware you’ll find more rain in January on the north shore for the above activities. (But don’t let that stop you…Add a rain jacket to your Kauai packing list.)

    If you’re looking for sunshine galore, base in Poipu in the south.

    You can visit Waimea Canyon (known as the Grand Canyon of the Hawaii) from here, enjoy epic snorkeling in shallow, family-friendly bays, and get a bird’s eye view of the island on a helicopter tour!

    Other things to include on your Kauai itinerary are kayaking the Wailua River and visiting Kilauea Lighthouse.

    Slow down to island time and just breath in the beauty.

    13. Death Valley, CA, for a Bucket List Sunrise

    Death Valley National Park, in southern California, is famously the hottest place on the planet, with a recorded record temperature of 134°F.

    Thankfully, January is quite a bit cooler, with daytime temperatures in the high 60s to low 70s, which is perfect for hiking and exploring this incredible landscape. 

    There are so many amazing and diverse things to do in Death Valley National Park.

    For example, the park is also home to the lowest point in North America, Badwater Basin, which stands at 282 feet below sea level.

    These salt flats, stretching on for over 200 square miles, look like something from another planet, thanks to the geometric polygons of salt blanketing the ground.  

    Alternatively, watching sunrise at the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes is a bucket list experience.

    Stand on top of a dune (some of which tower up to 100 feet in height) and watch the rising sun cast dramatic shadows across the dunes, which span miles and miles in every direction.  

    If you’re looking for something a bit more active, consider the Golden Canyon, a choose-your-own-adventure trail (ranging from 2.7-7.8 miles in length), where you’ll hike through swirling badlands, towering canyons, and colorful cliffs.

    The landscape here is so otherworldly that it was used as a filming location of the original Star Wars!

    14. South Padre Island, Texas, for Kite Fest

    South Padre Island is so popular with snow birds—people escaping cold weather in Canada and northern US states—that the term “Winter Texans” is widely used to describe them. 

    With a comfortable and enviable subtropical climate, readily available Gulf seafood, and phenomenal nature, wildlife, and outdoor activities, South Padre Island (SPI) is a haven for Winter Texans every January.

    But SPI is also a fantastic place to visit for a vacation even if you are not quite yet ready to commit to being a full-time Winter Texan.

    SPI temperatures in January average 60s and 70s, so outdoor activities are pleasant and fun.

    Be sure to post selfies on social media to make your shivering friends back home jealous. Fishing on the Gulf of Mexico (and Laguna Madre) is a personal favorite of things to do in South Padre Island.

    Another popular SPI activity is bird watching.

    In fact, 500 different species of migrating birds use two principle migratory flyways (Mississippi Flyway and Central Flyway) that pass through South Padre and the Rio Grande Valley. 

    Also, don’t miss Kite Fest! It’s one of the most popular annual events on South Padre Island and is held on the last weekend in January.

    15. Palm Springs, CA, for Desert Beauty

    One of the best warm weather January getaways in the United States is retro Palm Springs, roughly two and a half hour’s drive from the city of Los Angeles.

    Visitors will have fun exploring this perfect mix of rugged nature and trendy downtown, filled with colorful artwork and unique eateries.   

    Whether you have a full week or just one day in Palm Springs, the festive neighborhoods will transport you far from L.A.’s traffic and crowds.  

    Hollywood celebrities began visiting Palm Springs in the 1920s, quickly making it one of the most popular getaways for those living in the Southern California region.

    Today, Palm Springs is known far and wide as an artsy desert town nestled between rugged mountain ranges and covered with towering palm trees.   

    January is a great time to visit this area for several reasons. First, the triple digit temperatures have finally cooled off and the still sunny days are pleasurable.

    Activities like biking, hiking, and walking the neighborhood are much more enjoyable!

    Plus, if you’re feeling festive, holiday decorations still line the streets and houses, lighting everything up when the sun goes down.

    Winter is the perfect time to relax in a Jacuzzi under the stars, too.

    Instead of building a snowman in winter, build a sandcastle on the beach. 

    The beaches on Anna Maria Island are perfect for sunbathing or enjoying a family picnic. Football, frisbee, and beach volleyball are all excellent winter sports here.

    Visit Rod & Reel Pier to learn more about regional activities and cuisine.

    This local restaurant makes the perfect spot for a romantic dinner right over the water.

    From dolphin and pelicans to sea turtles and manatees, Anna Maria Island is home to many unique forms of wildlife, too.

    18. Las Vegas, Nevada, for Glitz & Glamour

    No one wants to explore the Las Vegas strip in sweltering heat, or explore Red Rock Canyon in 100 degree weather. 

    This is why January is an incredible time to visit Las Vegas. There is so much to enjoy in the cooler times, without the crowds.

    Spend an afternoon hiking in Red Rock canyon to see the stunning red sandstone landscapes. Try out White Rock Hills Loop for an easy beginner hike to warm up for the in-town portion of your trip.

    Want to make the most out of your Las Vegas Adventure?  Visit the first week of January. 

    At this time, all of the crowds from Christmas and New Years have died down, but many of the incredible holiday displays are still up.

    Insider tip: Be sure to visit the holiday display at Bellagio Conservatory Gardens, one of the most beautiful exhibits in Las Vegas.

    Head to Fremont street to ride the Slotzilla Zip Line or see one of the many shows available on the Strip. 

    Even though it is the slowest month of the year, most of the shows remain open, making tickets easier to secure.

    Packing tips for Las Vegas in January: Bring layers. The weather will be perfect during the day when the sun is still up. 

    At night you may need a light jacket or sweater if you’re out. Many of the hotel pools close down this time of year, so check your hotel before packing a swimsuit.

    No matter what your idea of fun is, Las Vegas delivers. From adventure to glitz and glamour, visit here for a memorable break from the cold.

    19. Santa Barbara, CA, for Monarchs & Gray Whales

    Ah, Santa Barbara. The perfect place to escape the cold winter months.

    With an average January temperature of 63 degrees, it’s no wonder this whitewashed California city renowned for its Spanish architecture is a popular destination for those looking to get away from the chill. 

    But Santa Barbara has more to offer than just good weather. This time of year, monarch butterflies can be seen fluttering around town, and gray whales can be spotted migrating along the coastline.

    The world renowned Santa Barbara Zoo is always good for a visit, too. 

    If you’re feeling active, there are plenty of options for outdoor activities, like the 5 & 10K New Year’s Day Resolution Run.

    January is also a great time to do the very easy hike to Nojoqui Falls, where you’ll see a beautiful 80 foot waterfall, especially after a rainstorm.

    And if you’re looking to relax, you can catch a wave on one of Santa Barbara’s many beaches or enjoy a sunset kayak tour.

    Better yet, bring an inflatable stand up paddle board and explore the coast at your leisure.

    Aptly known as the “American Riviera”, Santa Barbara is the perfect place to spend your January vacation.

    20. Tuscon, Arizona, for Wine Tasting

    Tucson, Arizona is one of the best winter destinations due to the vast array of activities you can partake in.

    One of the main highlights of Tucson is Saguaro National Park. January makes for the perfect time for hiking in Saguaro and taking in the views of the massive saguaro cacti.

    Be sure not to miss the Valley View Overlook Trail and the Cactus Forest Loop Trail.

    In January, Saguaro also sometimes puts on a sponsored walk or run through the park. 

    Outside of hiking in Saguaro, visitors will want to spend time at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum and check out the gardens or head up Mount Lemmon for views of Tucson.  

    Another delicious thing to do in January is to visit some of the wineries.

    While several have tasting rooms in town, visitors can also opt to head out to nearby Willcox and Sonorita to visit the vineyards.

    January’s cooler climate here means wineries will just have completed harvest so there will be plenty of new wines to sip. 

    Where to eat? Head to the Mercado de San Agustín.

    Seis Kitchen and 47 Scott are two popular options here. For those who love pan dulce, don’t miss La Estrella Bakery.

    21. Austin, Texas, for Walks & Cycling

    A January visit to Austin brings some amazing and unique ideas to a winter travel itinerary.

    With average high temperatures in the 60s, this destination allows outdoors lovers to explore the area completely with only the need for light layers.

    Favorite hikes in the area include the trails around McKinney Falls State Park, the peak of Mount Bonnell for beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and the easy walking and bike paths winding their way through downtown Zilker Park.

    The park also features Lady Bird Lake where kayaks and paddle boards can take to calm water.

    Feeling adventurous? Head to iconic Barton Springs for the annual Polar Bear Plunge into the beautiful 68 degree water on New Year’s Day.

    Austin’s food truck park, The Picnic, was the first of its kind in the city with everything from gyros to nachos to spring rolls.

    No trip to Austin is complete without BBQ and you might find a trip out of the city to Agape BBQ or Salt Lick will add some country ambiance to your meal.

    Should travelers find themselves with unexpectedly chilly days, the Museum of Ice Cream is a tasty and fun way to wait for the sun to come out. Prime shopping abounds at The Domain or Barton Creek Square.

    Most notably, January is quite possibly the best time to visit Austin for music lovers.

    Free Week festival affords hundreds of bands the opportunity to perform at multiple venues while tens of thousands of attendees get to experience the culture and talent of Austin.

    22. Sedona for Red Rock Canyons

    Known for its stunning natural beauty, iconic red rock formations, perpetual sunshine, epic hiking, and mystifying energy vortexes, Sedona has a little something for everyone.

    In particular, January—considered the “shoulder season” between the busy holiday rush and spring break travel—offers pleasant weather and some of the lowest crowds of the year. 

    With bluebird days and high temperatures averaging in the 60s, this is a wonderful time to explore some of the most popular hiking trails.

    Take advantage of notably thinner crowds and hike Devil’s Bridge or Cathedral Rock, or try to find one of the “hidden” caves in Sedona such as The Subway or Soldier Pass. 

    Off roading is another popular wintertime activity in Sedona.

    Rent ATVs in town and explore on your own or join one of the famous Pink Jeep tours. 

    Thanks to Sedona’s central location, you can also easily enjoy the sprawling resorts and incredible food and nightlife scenes in nearby Phoenix or Scottsdale.

    Both cities are even warmer than Sedona, and an easy and scenic 1.5-hour drive.

    Or, if you decide you want a taste of winter, the high-alpine mountain town of Flagstaff is less than an hour away.

    5 warm-weather locations accepting U.S. tourists this winter

    As we head into winter, many Americans are eager to look for a vacation in warmer climates—especially as the fervor to make up for lost time continues.

    “At the start of 2020, everyone got put in travel time-out, and now that the time-out is over for the most part, some are trying to make up for all the trips they didn’t take or that were canceled during that period,” says Jen Moyse, senior director of product at TripIt. “If we think of revenge as an eye-for-an-eye, this is ‘taking a trip—or two—for every trip COVID made me miss!’ Now that many are vaccinated and able to take trips more safely, there’s also a new appreciation for being able to visit friends or family, or new locations, without as much risk or stress for personal health and safety.”

    More than two-thirds of consumers are considering or have already booked travel during the holiday season, according to a recent survey from Rakuten Advertising, and approximately half of those traveling plan to visit international destinations. Even with new surges in COVID-19 cases, a majority of travelers (56%) will not change their travel plans, regardless of their level of concern around the Delta variant.

    If you’re planning to go abroad this winter, the time to book is now before it gets even more expensive as many airlines are cutting back on flights. Here are a few examples of countries open to U.S. tourists. Rules about entry for non-vaccinated and vaccinated visitors vary greatly from location to location—and can change with little notice at any time—so be sure to read up on those rules when booking and again before leaving for the airport.

    Mexico

    Throughout 2020, Mexico was among the few countries open by air to U.S. tourists when some restrictions came down after the initial lockdown. Tourism was still slow to recover initially but quickly picked up in spring 2021 as vaccines became widely available in the U.S. Many luxury resorts along the Riviera Maya, especially, are ideal for large families and “pandemic pods” with availability for buyouts. At this time, Mexico is open to all travelers—vaccinated and non-vaccinated—and you do not need to present a negative COVID-19 test to enter. (Note that no matter where you travel internationally, you will need a negative COVID test to reenter the United States.) But all passengers 18 years and older must complete a questionnaire before entry.

    St. Barths

    All travelers ages 10 and older must show a negative COVID-19 antigen test administered within 48 hours of arrival in St. Barths or a negative PCR test administered within 72 hours of arrival. Some major carriers have resumed flights from the U.S. to the island, but among the easier connection points is San Juan, Puerto Rico. Tradewind Aviation offers daily flights between San Juan and St. Barths, and passengers staying in San Juan less than 24 hours are exempt from testing requirements and pre-arrival declaration forms for Puerto Rico. Note that St. Barths is an overseas territory of France, so proof of vaccination and/or the Pass Sanitaire (Green Pass) is required for admittance to most indoor venues like restaurants, bars, and movie theaters.

    Costa Rica

    Costa Rica has long been a popular destination for travelers all over the world. Tourism is the country’s most lucrative industry, and there really is something for everyone here, from scuba diving, hiking through rain forests, adventure sports like extreme zip-lining courses, and of course, lounging on the beach. Most visitors from the United States can enter Costa Rica without restrictions. Americans are not required to provide a negative PCR test result or quarantine after arrival. All travelers 18 years and older—including fully vaccinated visitors—must fill out a health pass form 72 hours prior to the departure flight from the U. S. But unvaccinated tourists (and those with only one dose or a vaccine other than Moderna, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, or Johnson & Johnson) will need to present evidence of travel insurance covering lodging and medical expenses in case they contract COVID-19 while in the country. The insurance must be guaranteed to cover $50,000 for medical expenses and $2,000 for lodging.

    Colombia

    Colombia has become a hot destination for U.S. travelers in the past several years, with many more direct flights from major U.S. airports to Cartagena, Bogotá, and Medellín. Most visitors from the United States can enter Colombia without restrictions. Visitors from the United States are not required to present a negative COVID-19 PCR or antigen test result before entry, nor are they required to quarantine. But all passengers—vaccinated and non-vaccinated—must fill out a travel form within 24 hours (and at most one hour) before a flight to or from Colombia. Mask mandates are still in place in most public places, indoors and outdoors, and some cities still have curfews left over from lockdown.

    There are getaways, and there are places where you can really just get away from it all. French Polynesia, also an overseas territory of France, comprises more than 100 islands in the South Pacific. Among them, the most well-known are Bora Bora, Tahiti, and Moorea. Some U.S. carriers have resumed direct flights from the West Coast, but Air Tahiti Nui, the region’s flagship airline, is still the best bet out of Los Angeles (and Paris, for European readers) with more flights throughout the week. Vaccinated visitors from the United States can enter French Polynesia with a negative COVID-19 test result and are not required to quarantine. (Non-vaccinated Americans without a negative test are not permitted to enter.)

    Best Countries To Visit In October (2022)

    Planning A Trip In October? Here’s our list of best countries to visit in October

    The month of Halloween or Samhain Eve (summer’s end), Oktoberfest and mostly red autumn leaves, October is a brilliant blast of colours in most Northern Hemisphere countries. Known for the transitional season of autumn, the one where rains recede, air dries and trees shed their leaves to prepare for a long, lazy winter. Some of the best countries to visit during the month of October are Turkey, Portugal, Italy, Croatia, Mauritius, Bhutan and France among others. Iceland is a very special place in this month as Northern Lights are easily visible, and also for longer durations; while Scotland is home to such magical Celtic rituals on Samhain Eve (Halloween) that make your head turn. Have a glance through of the list we have compiled below and choose for yourself which country and which culture will make your autumn holiday memorable this year. 

     

    You’re sure to find more than a few!

    Croatia

    Photograph by http://miriadna. com/preview/dubrovnik-(adriatic-sea,-croatia)

    Croatia is a precious part of Eastern Europe, located on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. It is home to almost a thousand islands and makes for one of the most coveted tourist attractions for its Dynamic Alps, the medieval charisma of its capital city Zagreb, the stone-walled city by Adriatic- that is Dubrovnik, a whole lot of museums and the breath-taking Gothic architecture with a renaissance touch on its coastal cities. October becomes a good time to visit Croatia for the smooth sailing weather that the country sees in this month. Humidity remains low and rain only picks up as the month goes by. 11 rainy days and 11 hours of daylight in Dubrovnik, isn’t that the perfect combination?

     

    Things to Do: 

    Start your trip by taking a tour of the Plitvice Lakes National Park, known for its natural wonders that are the chain of 16 terraced lakes, majestic waterfalls and the huge limestone canyon. You can also set aside a weekend for the islands and go to Hvar island in the Adriatic Sea for a relaxed time, to explore its 13th-century walls, fortresses and the quaint Renaissance architecture. You can also visit beaches like Dubovica. There is also the island of Vis, Brac, Korkula, Krk, Rab, Cres etc. And the history buffs could visit Diocletian’s Palace, Euphrasian Basilica, Catherdral of St. Dominius and St. James Cathedral. 

     

    How to Reach: 

    Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik and Pula have some of the major International Airports  of Croatia. From India, there is no direct flight to Croatia but many connecting flights are available. Lufthansa, Air India, Jet Airways, Air France and Qatar Airways are the major players. You can also travel to Croatia by rail from European cities like Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Serbia etc. Or you can just drive up. Buses are easily available for inter-city and inter-country travel (within Europe).

    Portugal

    Photograph by https://www.photographycoursetour.com/portugal-photo-tour-photography-course-beginners.html

    The home of ‘Port’ or Porto Wine, Europe’s oldest country, Portugal is a marvel of Europe, situated at its south-eastern side. A trip to this country is bound to be an eclectic mix of ancient history, architecture that has survived time, beaches that make you go swooning, churches with bells and towers and of course, FOOTBALL. October holidays are generally very pleasing in Portugal, with  an average day high of 23ºC, while temperatures fall to 15ºC at night. It is autumn but mild rain can be expected, not enough to distort your plans though.

     

    Things to Do:

    There are quite a few great places of Portugal worth your time, starting from the medieval haunts to the ones that have adapted to the modern era. Explore Lisbon, the capital city, take heritage walks on Baixa district and the city centre. In Porto, visit the Douro river, traipse down the seaside suburbs which feel right out of a renaissance dream, and hop across the swelling collection of contemporary cafes, chic restaurants and bars. Spend a weekend at Madeira Island,  visit the Estádio Municipal de Braga and listen to music in Fado Bars.  For Harry Potter fans, visit Livraria Lello bookstore, inspired by Hogwarts.

     

    Trivia: JK Rowling once taught English in Porto and had been a regular at the said bookstore. 

     

    How to Reach: 

    Lisbon, Portela and Humberto Delgado house the main International Airports in Portugal. When coming in from India, you can take a direct flight from Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore or Goa, with aircraft carriers like Air France, British Airways, Gulf Air, Air India and Jet Airways. European countries, namely Spain and France ply regular buses as well as trains to Portugal. Or you can choose to hire a cab. Centraldetaxis.pt is the taxi cab central with a national coverage, and it works 24×7 for taking bookings.

    Italy

    The home of Pizzas, Pastas and Rome, Italy is one of the most famous European holiday destinations in the world. With the bounty bestowed upon it by nature as well as a trail of ancient historic heritage it holds in its buildings, monuments and statues, Italy is really a feast for the senses. October becomes a beautiful month to explore the wonders of Italy, with summer trailing into a cool autumn. With 7-18°C temperature range and mild rainfall, this makes for some pretty stunning weather. 

     

    Things to Do:

    Explore the city of Rome, which undoubtedly wasn’t built in a day! Visit the Colosseum and Trevi fountain, Roman Forum, St. Peter’s Basilica; lunch at chic cute cafes, enjoy thick gelato walking down the cobbled streets of Rome and make sure to visit the Vatican City. Florence is another beautiful destination for history and renaissance, the city of Da Vinci and the wealthy banker rulers – Medici (15th Century). This city is filled with David’s famous sculptures, the Duomo and the Uffizi Gallery. Venice is another marvel, the city of canals that boasts of Gondola rides, while Milan is the fashion capital of Italy. Also check out the Leaning Tower of Pisa, spend some leisure time at the ‘Isle of Capri’ and Lake Como and finally, explore the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii. Sicily is another great island to visit, as is the Amalfi coast. 

     

    How to Reach:

    Rome, Florence, Pisa, Milan and Sicily are some of the important International airports in Italy. You have the option of direct as well as stopover flights from Mumbai and Delhi. With Air India, Lufthansa, Emirates and British Airways plying regular flights, you can easily fly to Italy now. For water routes, Venice, Ancona, Bari and Brindisi become docking ports for ferries and cruises from all over Europe. Rail routes are well mapped and well run, the service providers being Italo Rail or Euro Rail. The roads are also pretty good if you want to take the bus or hire a car.

    Scotland

    Photograph by https://www.spiritjourneysworldwide.com/tours/scotland-outlander-tour/

    Scotland has been an integral part of the the United Kingdom ever since the bloody battle of Culloden fought between the British and the Scottish Jacobites in 1746. The lyrical green glens and rocky cold highlands filled with mud and rains, streams and stories are what weave together a Scotland that is as stuck in the warp of time as it has evolved in the 21st Century. In the month of October, Scotland sees its summer season trail quietly into autumn and temperatures drop from a cheery 20°C to a chilly 9°C by the end of the month. In October the crowd starts thinning and hence makes for some open, empty tourist spots and discounted rates wherever you go. 

     

    31st October marks the eve of Samhain festival (Halloween) and has ancient roots in Celtic traditions. All houses in Scotland light up huge bonfires in front of their homes to ward off the ghosts of the dead, turnips are scooped to lit lanterns (the older version of American pumpkin) and the season of summer and harvest is said to end, to give way to the season of cold, dark winter. 

     

    Things to Do:

    Visit the Cairngorms and Northwest Highlands, sit by the Loch Ness (lake) and listen to the story of the Loch Ness monster. Loch Lomond is another great lake. Do also explore the spellbinding Isle of Skye. To witness the horror of the battle of Culloden, visit the Culloden moor, the place where where British Redcoats slaughtered the highlanders. The museum there is a reminder of Scottish valour. Tour the cities of Inverness and Glasgow and enjoy some amazing Whiskey. There is also the Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh castle and Princess Street in Edinburgh. Also, don’t miss the specially arranged Outlander Tours, showing you through the many locations of the renowned Netflix show Outlander. To know the Scots better, head to local pubs or bars and chat up with the locals for stories of faeries, changelings and elves.  

     

    How to Reach: 

    Your landing spots in Scotland are Aberdeen International Airport, Edinburgh Airport, Glasgow International Airport, Inverness Airport and Dundee Airport. India to Scotland doesn’t have any direct flights but you can take a stopover flight. Or you can fly to London and then take the road or a domestic flight. The National Express bus service plies buses between Scotland and other UK cites, making for a cheap option. National Rail System is another option for if train is your mode of choice. 

    Turkey

    Photograph by http://www.heelstohikingboots.com/2015/12/03/20-photos-to-inspire-you-to-visit-cappadocia-2/

    Turkey is a delightful mix of eastern and western ways of life, with an ages old culture that was influenced by Islam as well as Christianity; Turks, Assyrians as well as Romans. Turkey today is what once was the ‘Ottoman Empire,’ with its modern capital Ankara and the ancient capital Istanbul. October in Turkey marks an average of 16ºC, hence a summery autumn. Evenings get chilly while rain is infrequent (10 days), with 6 hours of sunshine. 

     

    Things to Do:

    Visit the 17th century blue mosque called Hagia Sophia. Once a Greek orthodox Basilica, it later fell in the hands of the Ottoman Empire and became a mosque. Today it is a museum. Also worth exploring is the Topkapı Palace, Sultan Ahmed Mosque, Grand bazars in the old market and Spice bazar selling exotic spices, dried fruits, nuts, ethnic jewellery, souvenirs and the famous Turkish coffee. Other attractions include Ankara Castle, Pamukkale town and Hierapolis (an ancient Roman spa city). Head to Cappadocia in central Antolia for beauty that is unparalleled and Mardin for clear cobalt skies and mustard coloured mountains.

     

    How to Reach: 

    Istanbul’s Atatürk International Airport and Ankara’s Esenboğa Airport are your two destinations when coming in from abroad. Non-stop fights from Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore operate regularly to Turkey, with Emirates being a major carrier. Driving to Turkey from many European nations including France, Germany, Italy etc is also an option. For internal transport, there are buses and domestic flights, as well as cars, ferries and boats.

    France

    Photograph by http://www.angelio. net/blogangelio/la-france-destination-culturelle-par-excellence/

    The synonym to Louis Vuitton, Ives Saint Laurent, Eiffel Tower and wine, France is a country that truly leaves its guests smitten. Touted as the fashion capital of the world, this country is known for its sexy language and passionate people. October becomes the peak of fall/autumn in France, a very cool time with average temperature of 14°C, that gradually drops to about 9 by the month end. This time of the season is also known for harvest of grapes and hence there is an abundance of wine harvest and food festivals. 

     

    Things to Do:

    Go sightseeing in the capital of France – Paris; from the Eiffel Tower and Louvre Museum to Notre Dame and the Palace of Versailles, there is just too much history and heritage from centuries to reap here. Take a walk down the many streets and high fashion shops of Paris. In this month of harvest, go for wine tasting in the French Alps or cheese tasting in Burgundy. Explore Lyon’s Roman theatre, ancient drawings of Lascaux and lots more. Nice is another great city for its stretches of pebbled beaches and great French cuisine. The French Riviera must also be on your list, as well as Moulin Rouge. Disneyland in Paris is also highly coveted by one and sundry.

     

    And for those who have been fans of the Tin Tin comics or have loved the setting of the movie Tamasha, Corsica is another must-visit town in France.

     

    How to Reach:

    Paris and Orly (south of Paris) are the two major International airpots in France. For tourists travelling from India you have a whole range of options for airlines, namely, Air India, Gulf Air, Jet Airways, Air France, British Airways and Singapore Airlines. They each operate direct and indirect flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad. For waterways, there are boat and ferry services across the English channel (from Calais in England to Dover). For train travel, you have the Eurostar connecting France to various European cities, while you can also hire a car or take a bus.

    Mauritius

    Photograph by http://www.backlight.mu

    Mauritius is a gorgeous beach paradise, a small island nation perched in the Indian Ocean, renowned world over for its pristine sands, cobalt blue waters and luxury beach resorts. The month of October in Mauritius is characterised by gradual rising of day temperature, daily highs of 25°C and lows of 20°C. This is also one of the driest months of the year and the quiet transition from winter to summer. Beach hopping, shopping, foodgasm, spas, water sports; all of it is exceptionally experienced in this month when the temperatures are neither too hot, nor too cold. 

     

    Things to Do:

    Beaches are not even a tenth of all the fun activities that Mauritius has in store for you. You should visit the Bois Cheri Tea Plantations, explore its soft, fresh scents of tea and mud, taste some tea and pick up small packs as souvenirs. Take yourself scuba diving and kite surfing in Belle Mare, go snorkelling in the Blue Bay Marine Park and cave sea kayaking in Albion Caves. There are also some great opportunities of horse riding at Riambel Beach and luxury cruises. There is Mauritius National Botanical Garden, Chamarel Village, EarthTamarin Bay and underwater sea walk at Grand Bay. You can take seaplane rides that take off from Albatross and give you a stunning bird’s eye tour of the many beautiful wonders of Mauritius. 

     

    How to Reach:

    Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (Plaisance) is about 50 km away from the capital city of Port Louis of Mauritus. This becomes your landing destination when coming in from an international country. Carriers like Air India, Emirates, Jet, Singapore Airlines etc connect Indian cities to Mauritius on a daily basis. Another mode of transport can be by the sea route, on any of the luxurious International cruise liners that sail through the Indian Ocean. When in the island country, you can hire cars/vans, motorbikes and boats to travel.

    Iceland

    Photograph by https://www. cnbc.com/2017/11/20/see-the-northern-lights-from-a-glass-igloo-at-kakslauttanen-in-finland.html

    Iceland is the origin of the Norse myths, as well as the fabled vikings. It is the land of lots of ice and volcanic fires, a real paradox of sorts. The landscape is utterly gorgeous, giving you Game of Thrones vibes, leaving you speechless at its sheer natural opulence. The country has a string of geysers, hot springs and Lava fields, not to mention frozen rivers in this season. In the month of October, summer comes to an end here, and winter spreads its icy fangs. The average temperature touches 4°C and average precipitation is 77mm. But what redeems this fact is the brilliant shower of Northern Lights that you can see in the skies at this time, quite easily, we must add.

     

    Things to Do:

    Visit the Snæfellsjökull and Vatnajökull National Park, which are two protected areas for glaciers. You might even feel you are standing on night’s watch somewhere near the Great Wall in Game of Thrones. You also get to visit Thingvellir, the actual filming location of HBO’s Game of Thrones. 

     

    Now comes the legendary Norther lights or Aurora Borealis. You can spot them in the skies of Reykjavik, although a better and more sure shot way would be to travel to a place with less pollution and no lights, like Seltjarnarnes or Faxafloi Bay. Visit Puffin Island (Akurey and Lundey), only half a mile away from Reykjavik for a colony of cuddly Puffins. Other tourist attractions are Dynjandi Waterfall, Hornstrandir Nature Reserve and Valley of Thor for hiking. The Peace Tower makes for great sightseeing. The beginning of october also means that most migratory animals are on their way to Iceland, hence you can head to Faxaflói Bay to spot some gorgeous humpbacks, whales and dolphins. 

     

    How to Reach:

    Keflavik International Airport is the major terminal for International flights into Iceland. Iceland Air and Iceland Express becomes two of the most significant airlines in the country. From India, you have one-stop fights available from Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore. Waterways are also developed to Iceland, but we suggest airway as it is the most preferred mode of transport. 

    Bhutan

    Bhutan is the kind of country that measures it growth not by GDP but by GNH (Gross National Happiness). A hilly landscape that was once torn by battle and blood so thick that made this place inhabitable, Bhutan was later chosen by Buddhist monks to settle and meditate. Over centuries, the land was sanctified and peaceful vibes prevailed again. Today it is just as beautiful, tranquil and reflective. October is one of the best months to visit Bhutan, especially because the weather is so good. 25°C and long sunny days make Bhutan ideal for trekking, sightseeing and the major festival of Thimphu Tshechu.

     

    Things to Do:

    Take a tour of the famous Paro Taktsang monastery (Tiger’s Nest) and the Paro valley. There are many other trekking opportunities as this land is known for that sport, namely, Druk Path Trek, Snowman Trek, Nabji Korphu Trek, Jomolhari Trek etc. You can also try kayaking at Paro Valley, Trongsa and Punakha Valley. River rafting is popular in Po Chu River, while rock climbing in Thimphu. The country is also home to a string of hot springs, like Gasa Tshachus, Duenmang Tshachu and Gelephu Tshachu. You can also go bird watching, ideally to Phobjikha Valley, Bumthang, Bomdeling, Trongsa, Tingtibi and Punakha.

     

    For those who are looking forward to some tranquil, reflective time for yourself in Bhutan, almost most hotels, monasteries and temples offer yoga and meditation with guided sessions. 

     

    How to Reach:

    Paro is the primary International Airport of Bhutan, and allows direct flights from Indian cities like Kolkata, New Delhi, Guwahati and Bagdora. For other cities of India like Bangalore, Chennai and Kochi, there are one-stop flights. There are no direct trains from India to Bhutan but you can travel to New Jalpaiguri or Bagdora Station and then take a cab to cross the border.

    Seychelles is an archipelago (collection) of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, just off East Africa. The country is home to many beaches, coral reefs and natural reserves, including rare animals like the giant Aldabra tortoises. Seychelles also boasts of mountain rainforests and the Seychellois National Park. October is a very pleasant month in Seychelles, travel-wise. But it is very wet, one of the wettest in fact, and hence rains can disturb some of your plans. However, with a temperature range of 24-30°C, this place is still great for touristy things. 

     

    Things to Do:

    Some of the best islands in Seychelles are those that have the least infrastructure. Like the La Digue island, almost like a dragonfly caught in amber, preserved in time. It barely has any vehicles or paved roads or infrastructure. But the untouched, pristine beaches take your breath away. You must also try Curieuse Island for its giant tortoises, as well as Praslin Island, which is home to Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve (a nature park and UNESCO World Heritage Site). Other islands popular here are North Island, Frégate Island and Félicité. Seychelles National Botanical Gardens on Mahé is also a great bet. 

     

    How to Reach:

    Victoria is home to the most important International Airport of Seychelles – Seychelles International. Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bengaluru operate regular direct flights to Victoria with airlines like Emirates, Jet Airways, British Airways and Sri Lankan Airlines. While getting around in Seychelles, you have the option of local bus services like on the islands of Mahe and Praslin, or you can hire bicycles or use ox-carts, like on La Digue. Taxis are also available on hire. Ferries and domestic flights can also be used for island hopping.

    Hong Kong

    They say, ‘a New York minute is a Hong Kong second;’ rightly so, because this place throbs with the raw electric energy that seeps into every human on its radar. Hong Kong is an autonomous territory in southeast China, making for one hell of a business as well as tourist hub, not to mention what a Mecca it is for shopaholics. The weather in Hong Kong, during the month of October is very pleasant. The clear skies and sunshine make for a lot of warmth and longer days. 23-28°C being the temperature range, Hong Kong is just the right amount of ready for tourism in this month. Halloween creates quite a buzz here, especially in Hong Kong Disneyland. 

     

    Things to Do:

    Sightseeing in Hong Kong is never-ending, but some unmissables include Victoria Peak, the Big Buddha, Happy Valley Racecourse, Man Mo Temple (dedicated to Taoist gods of literature-Man and war-Mo) and Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery in the New Territories. Shek O beach, Repulse Bay, Stanley and Tai Long Wan are some relaxing beaches. Adventure junkies can charter junk boats to sail or go hiking to the Dragon’s Back. Some major amusement parks in Hong Kong are Ocean Park Hong Kong and Disneyland. You can escape to Lantau or Lamma Island for some me-time and chill vibes or stay in the city to enjoy its throbbing pulse, especially the nightlife at Tsim Sha Tsui.

     

    We’ve saved the last for the best (shopaholics), who would loot the many many malls and markets in Hong Kong. Traipse through Hong Kong’s Ladies’ Market for chic clothes and accessories, Temple Street Night Market for everyday stuff and wares, Cat Street for antiques and Apliu Street Market for gadgets and related stuff. Lower Kowloon is known for high street fashion brands, while the malls of Causeway Bay are for street-style stores. 

     

    How to Reach:

    The Hong Kong International airport in Chek Lap Kok is the main International airport in the city, located 31 km away away from the city centre. It receives many daily flights from India, including those from Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore etc. Air India, Jet, Emirates and British Airways are some of the regular carriers. You can also travel to Hong Kong from China by taking one of the bullet trains. Or catch one of the many buses from Chinese cities like Guangdong or Beijing. High-speed Turbojets as well as transport boats also ply from Macau to Hong Kong.

    Nepal is home to Mt. Everest. What else needs to be said? 

     

    Nepal is a landlocked country in the Himalayas of South Asia. It is a land of yaks, mountains, yetis and monasteries, know as the only country that accepts Hinduism as its state religion. The country has evolved as a coveted tourist destination for hikers, trekkers, adventure enthusiasts and peace seekers. During the month of October, Nepal becomes one of the most coveted tourist destinations of the world. The average temperature in Nepal during October is 20°C, making it perfect for outdoor activities without breaking a sweat.

     

    Things to Do:

    Trek, trek trek. If you are not in Nepal to conquer Everest, then you are sure here to trek up smaller peaks, or at least hike up walking trails. There are a number of routes and trails here worth trying, for novices as well as seasoned trekkers. From Poonhill Trek to Manaslu to Everest Base Camp Trek, the seasoned ones are going to have a blast. For those who are just learning, head to Mera Peak or Island Peak. You can also take a luxury panoramic flight over the white peaks of Himalayas. There is also Bardia National Park as well as Chitwan National Park for the nature lover in you. You can pursue fishing, mountain climbing, boating, sightseeing and treks in the lakeside town of Pokhara. Mountain biking is particularly famous in Kathmandu Valley, along with sightseeing in places like Pashupatinath Temple, Swayambhunath Stupa, Temple of Kumari, Boudhanath Stupa and Durbar Square.  

     

    For some history-gasm, head to Patan, the second largest town of Nepal. It is said to date back to 250 BC and its corners are still marked by ancient stupas. 

     

    How to Reach:

    Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) is the main entry point into this country by air. From India, you can find flights from major cities like Delhi and Mumbai, or travel by bus across the border from Bihar. There is also the option of railway as the governments of the two countries are very friendly and have maintained good rail connectivity across borders. The Indian town of Raxaul runs trains to Sirsiya in Nepal. You can also hire a private cab to cross the border with relevant permits, or take the bus crossing Sunauli-Bhairawa border from Varanasi; Raxaul-Birganj crossing from Patna or Kolkata and Siliguri-Kakarbhitta crossing from Darjeeling. 

    10 Best Warm Weather Locations for Remote Workers for Winter

    The winter season can be especially tough on freelancers. Remote work often means working from home, and the plunge in temperatures and dwindling sunlight can get to even the heartiest of souls by February. So before you go all Jack Nicholson in The Shining, consider planning a month (or three) away to one of these amazing warm weather remote work locations. Can’t swing it this year? Comfort yourself by dreaming and planning for next winter and bookmark this post.

    Why We Think These Are the Best Remote Work Locations

    There are dozens, if not hundreds of places to choose from when it comes to remote work. To pick the best locations for remote work for this list, we judged them by the following criteria:

    • Average temperature in January: We looked for average January highs of 68 degrees or more, but we let in a few spots in the low 60s since winter can be a great time to do off-season travel to otherwise crowded destinations.
    • Adventure potential: We’ve got you covered whether you love the city life, or you’re looking for a more remote, nature-filled getaway.  
    • Max stay without a Visa: All of the places on our list require either a passport, or a relatively easy Visa application for a stay of 30-90 days.
    • Cost of living: We looked for spots that are comparable to the average cost of living in the U.S. or lower so these trips won’t break the bank (and you might even save some extra cash). The cost of living numbers below are all sourced from Nomad List, and are based on renting a hotel room in the city center and eating meals out.

    Unlisted categories: Internet speed and safety. Working abroad is a whole lot easier when basic needs safety and internet access aren’t a concern. While we don’t include these categories specifically in the details for each location below, they were key criteria for selecting these spots. Whenever you travel, you should exercise normal precautions and thoroughly research accommodations, neighborhoods, and local customs to make sure both you and your equipment stay safe.  

    1. Auckland, New Zealand

    • Average Temperature in January: 74° high / 61° low
    • Adventure Potential: Whether you’re into art, adventure, or animals, Auckland is a city with endless entertainment options.
    • Max Stay without a Visa: 90 days
    • Cost of Living: $3,000 per month

    Combining the convenience of city living with surroundings of beautiful nature, Auckland offers remote workers the best of both worlds. On your days off, you can easily visit dormant volcano, Mt. Eden for an easy hike and breathtaking views of the city, or hop a ferry to Waiheke Island to take in the aqua blue beach waters and explore local vineyards. During the work week, stay closer to town with a stroll through more than 10,000 plants at Auckland Botanic Gardens or peruse contemporary art at Auckland Art Gallery. Meeting all of your deadlines will be easy with the local coffee culture, just grab a seat at one of the amazing cafes scattered throughout the city.

    2. Bangkok, Thailand

    • Average Temperature in January: 90° high / 72° low
    • Adventure Potential: With 8 million residents, Bangkok is truly a city that never sleeps.
    • Max Stay without a Visa: 30 days
    • Cost of Living: $1,400 per month

    There’s a reason Bangkok consistently ranks amongst the most visited cities in the world. With its affordability and endless activities, you may find that your biggest challenge is balancing work and fun. On your off time, get out to explore the street food scene, visit the many local shrines and colorful markets, take in a kickboxing match, and immerse yourself in the booming nightlife. When you’ve tuckered yourself out, you can get a Thai massage, or head off for a long weekend to recover at one of Thailand’s many beautiful beach towns. When it comes to getting work done, most digital nomads who travel to Thailand recommend renting an apartment and shelling out for an internet package for a reliable connection, but there are also many co-working options in the city as well.

    3. Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Spain

    • Average Temperature in January: 67° high / 56° low
    • Adventure Potential: Black sand beaches, a dormant volcano, and a local population that loves food, music and dancing.
    • Max Stay without a Visa: 90 days
    • Cost of Living: $1,950 per month

    While more expensive than Southeast Asia, Spain’s Canary Islands are a still a nomad’s dream. Amazing weather, affordable living, and a timezone that makes it much easier to communicate with clients back in the U.S. or E.U. make them a popular destination for digital nomads seeking a winter refuge. Blanketed in landscapes from beaches to rainforest and volcanic craters, opportunities for adventures off the beaten path abound. In Las Palmas, expect a walkable city with plenty of co-working spaces, relatively cheap accommodations, and lots of choices of what to do with your downtime. Hint: island life is all about getting outside. Now’s the time to book that surfing lesson!

    Want to know more about what it’s like to live in Las Palmas? Read up on Chris the Freelancer’s blog about his month-long stay. 

    4. Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

    • Average Temperature in January: 82° high / 66° low
    • Adventure Potential: Costa Rica is the perfect destination for aspiring yogis and outdoor lovers.
    • Max Stay without a Visa: 90 days
    • Cost of Living: $1,500 per month*

    If you want to get away from it all, but still be able to reach clients and have an internet connection for work, Costa Rica tops many lists for offering more secluded small towns where you can still get in a full day’s work (if you can get out of your hammock, that is). Imagine ending your work day with a beach-side yoga session, or taking your days off to surf, snorkel, or explore dirt-roads by ATV and you’ve got Playa Santa Teresa. You won’t find a 24-hour nightlife culture here, but if you’re ready to ditch the city and soak up some nature this winter, this beach town is where it’s at. Just leave a little extra time in your travel schedule for getting there since it’s one of the more remote spots on our list.

    Learn more about this Costa Rica coastal town from freelance designer Michelle who spent 6 weeks there in 2017. 

    * Cost of living data was not available on Nomad List for Santa Teresa, this is an estimate based on averages of reports from digital nomads in Costa Rica.

    5. Lisbon, Portugal

    • Average Temperature in January: 59° high / 47° low
    • Adventure Potential: The beauty of old Europe meets a bustling, modern city scene.
    • Max Stay without a Visa: 90 days
    • Cost of Living: $1,875

    All the amenities and infrastructure of a major European city, plus a mild climate and affordable prices make Lisbon a great choice for the winter nomad. Throw in lots of places to grab a desk and a wifi connection, beautiful architecture, delicious food, a thriving nightlife, and easy transportation and you’ve pretty much got it all. While you probably won’t be hitting Portugal’s beaches in January, with an average high of 59 degrees you’ll be warm enough to get out for some serious city exploring.

    6. Barcelona, Spain

    • Average Temperature in January: 56° high / 45° low
    • Adventure Potential: You’ll find out of this world architecture, incredible food, and a cosmopolitan feel in this coastal Spanish city.
    • Max Stay without a Visa: 90 days
    • Cost of Living: $2,800

    While it’s one of the cooler destinations on our list, Barcelona’s weather is still mild year round, and with tourism on the rise, the off-season may your best bet to experience it without the crowds. The highlight of Barcelona is most definitely Gaudi’s other-worldly architecture, and you should set aside a few days to visit Casa Batlló, Park Güell, and Sagrada Família, which will all make your jaw drop. Finish your work, grab a siesta, and then head out to enjoy to a stroll down the bustling Las Ramblas and one of the best food scenes in all of Europe.

    Learn more about why Barcelona is a metropolitan paradise for digital nomads on freelance writer and designer Daniel Schwarz’s blog. 

    7. Melbourne, Australia

    • Average Temperature in January: 79° high / 60° low
    • Adventure Potential: Enjoy a hip, culture-filled city with tons of excursion potential.
    • Max Stay without a Visa: Get an ETA Visa for visits less than 90 days 
    • Cost of Living: $3,200

    Melbourne is one of the most expensive cities on our list, on par with Paris and Singapore, but with it’s Yarra River views, lively arts and music scene, urban beer gardens, and friendly culture, it’s worth considering if you have the money to fund it. The city is host to meet-up groups for freelancers and many co-working options for remote workers. The bonus? You’re just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Australia’s Yarra Valley wineries if you have a free weekend. Not into vino? How about some koala and penguin viewing on nearby Philip Island?

    Get more tips on getting networked in Melbourne from Alex Malone on her post for the WDN blog. 

    8. Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

    • Average Temperature in January: 90° high / 72° low
    • Adventure Potential: Get off the beaten path in Southeast Asia.
    • Max Stay without a Visa: You’ll need a 30 day Visa 
    • Cost of Living: $1,020

    While not as popular as other Southeast Asia cities like Bangkok, and Chiang Mai, Ho Chi Minh City is an uber affordable and up-and-coming option you’re looking for something new. Known for its coffee culture, traditional architecture and friendly locals, the city is becoming home to more digital nomads and entrepreneurs, giving it an exciting, youthful edge you won’t find in more established destinations. When you’re not moving, shaking, and sipping at every local cafe, you can hop a bus and head to the beach for the weekend.

    Find out why blogger Anna Wickham thinks you should start your digital nomad journey in Ho Chi Minh city. 

    9. San Diego, CA, U.S.

    • Average Temperature in January: 66° high / 50° low
    • Adventure Potential: Surfing, beaches, and craft brews. Need we say more?
    • Max Stay without a Visa: Unlimited for U.S. citizens
    • Cost of Living: $3,700

    If you just realized your passport is expired, but you still want to get out of Dodge for the winter, San Diego offers flip-flop weather days, even in January. In addition to the beaches, the city has great dining options, a major craft-brew scene, beautiful botanical gardens, and easy co-working. At $3,700 a month, it’s the most expensive spot on our list, but if you’re a U.S. citizen, not dealing with Visa limits means you could look for a cheaper sublet and prepare more of your own meals to bring those costs down. Plus, if you’re coming from San Francisco, L. A. or N.Y.C., it’s probably still cheaper than your hometown.

    Looking for more on San Diego? Check out this Pommie Travels interview on why it should be a destination for digital nomads. 

    10. Buenos Aires, Argentina

    • Average Temperature in January: 84° high / 69° low
    • Adventure Potential: Find gorgeous scenery, fantastic food, and spontaneous tango scenes in this South American city with a European flair.
    • Max Stay without a Visa: 90 days
    • Cost of Living: $1,250

    People who have been to Buenos Aires often rank it as their favorite city and gush over its culture and architecture. With a mash-up of traditional South American music, food, and culture, in a city that feels distinctly European, it’s hard not to fall in love with this place. Throw in very affordable living, steak and Malbec dinners, and fairly easy to find wifi and it’s a digital nomad’s dream.

    Remote Work Locations to Avoid

    Two places you won’t see on our list? Ubud, Bali and Chiang Mai, Thailand, which have been at the top of just about every other best places for remote workers list for years, have also recently become over crowded, and in the case of Bali, more expensive. As the most well known hubs for digital nomads, it can be hard to find good accommodations and co-working spaces these days, so you’re better off setting out for less trodden territories with a lower risk of monkey bites.

    7 ready-made options for escaping into the heat

    We change snow, gray skies and frosts for beaches, palm trees and warmth. How? We have selected for you seven ready-made options for escaping in the summer . Somewhere real heat reigns, somewhere fresh, but conducive to relaxation. Rest on the sea in February to be.

    1. United Arab Emirates

    February in the United Arab Emirates may seem unsuitable for swimming to many, but it is wonderful for excursions and entertainment. Still, not everyone can endure the summer heat, and winter makes it possible to turn off air conditioners and just enjoy the weather at 24-26°C. Why not summer?

    The water in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah warms up to 18 degrees. Off the coast of Fujairah in the Gulf of Oman, although a little warmer, about 19 degrees, it is also not suitable for swimming. But shopping at the end of February is the most profitable.

    Entry conditions: PCR test, 72 hours before departure. Belarusian tourists do not need a visa.

    How to get there: From Minsk to Dubai by direct Belavia flights or Fly Dubai low-cost flights.

    ✈ Tours to the United Arab Emirates


    2. Sri Lanka

    The island is experiencing its driest month. From the beginning of February until April, the wind does not bother, the monsoons stop, the sea calms down more. After prolonged rainfall, the nature of Sri Lanka is changing, the landscapes are bright and fresh.

    The daytime temperature stays at +32 °C, at night it drops to +22 °C. The water on the beaches warms up to a very comfortable +28 °C. The climatic conditions of Sri Lanka in February are suitable for both a beach holiday and an excursion.

    Entry conditions: Vaccinated travelers with a negative PCR test not earlier than 72 hours before departure are allowed to enter Sri Lanka without retesting upon arrival. From September 2021, the entry of tourists vaccinated with the Sputnik V vaccine has been approved. Such tourists can immediately go to the booked hotel, as well as move freely around the country.

    How to get there: Turkish Airlines from Minsk via Istanbul. From Moscow by Aeroflot and SriLankan Airlines (two flights a week).

    ✈ Tours to Sri Lanka


    3. Egypt

    The end of winter will be a comfortable period for those tourists who fly not only to relax on the beaches. In February, it’s time to see the sights of Egypt, this does not interfere with the heat. The month is considered one of the coldest of the year, however, this does not prevent most tourists from sunbathing and swimming. It is best to choose hotels in Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab and Taba during this period, protected from the winds by mountains. The air on this coast warms up to 22-24°C during the day, dropping to 16°C in the evening. The water temperature is quite stable at around 23°C.

    In comparison with the resorts of the Sinai Peninsula, Safaga, Hurghada and Marsa Alam are a little cooler during the day, 20-23°C, and at night no higher than 12°C. The sea here is colder by about the same 2 degrees, rarely warming up to more than 21°C. Of course, you can sunbathe here too, because there is practically no precipitation in winter in this part of the Red Sea coast. Only the sun can periodically hide behind a light haze, which, however, does not interfere with tanning.

    Entry conditions: Negative PCR test 72 hours before arrival, or a vaccination certificate with a QR code, the validity of which does not exceed 1 year. Visa – upon arrival;

    How to get there: Belavia charters to Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh Marsa Alam from Minsk.

    ✈ Choose a tour to Egypt in February


    4. Cuba

    Liberty Island in February is comfortable weather, not burdened by showers, hurricanes and strong stuffiness. The air temperature in Cuba in February reaches + 26 ° C during the day and + 16 ° C … + 18 ° C at night.

    At the end of February, Cuba traditionally hosts the International Cuban Cigar Festival: collectors, exporters and connoisseurs of tobacco from all over the world come to Havana for 4-5 days.

    Entry conditions: Negative PCR test for COVID-19 taken 72 hours before departure. Cuba is included in the list of visa-free countries.

    How to get there: Regular and charter flights from Moscow.

    ✈ Choose a tour to Cuba


    5. Dominican Republic

    Another Caribbean country boasts comfortable weather in February.

    One of the most affordable resorts in the Dominican Republic is Boca Chica, but the best beaches are located in Punta Cana. The money spent in Punta Cana will pay off with good impressions from the service, from the beaches, and from the hotels. It is worth choosing all-inclusive at the hotel – eating outside the hotel will be expensive and uncomfortable – firstly, the choice of cafes and restaurants in the resorts is meager, and secondly, prices in rare cafes are very high. So, for an ordinary hamburger, you can pay several tens of dollars. In hotels of the 4-5 * level, the food is varied, close to European cuisine, you can easily pick up food for a child.

    Entry conditions: PCR test negative. Breath tests are randomly carried out at airports. Belarusians need a visa to visit the Dominican Republic. But you can also fly in with a multi-Schengen visa – this type of visa is suitable for visiting this country if you have already “printed out” a visa after visiting somewhere in Schengen.

    How to get there: Charter flights from Moscow to Punta Cana.

    ✈ Selection of tours to the Dominican Republic


    Thailand

    Air +32°C, water +27°C — are these ideal conditions for a beach holiday? This is how the resorts of Thailand will meet you in February. You can choose both the mainland of the country and the picturesque islands, where the water is a little clearer and the pace of life is a little slower compared to, for example, noisy youth Pattaya.

    It is worth knowing that most of the hotels in Thailand are located on the second and third coastlines – this is the specificity of the country and the Asian region. You need to walk 5-10 minutes to the beach. If you choose a vacation in Pattaya, then the best option would be to go to the beaches on the islands – the beaches of Pattaya are not famous for their calmness and cleanliness, they are rather good places for beach games in a youth company. The best of them is Jomtien Beach. But from Pattaya it is very convenient to go on excursions to Bangkok, the River Kwai or Cambodia.

    Entry conditions: To enter, you need to register on a special Thailand Pass portal (this will require insurance, a vaccination certificate and a reservation in one of the SHA + certified hotels for 7 days and a paid transfer to it). To visit Thailand, you will need to apply for a visa.

    72 hours before departure, you must undergo PCR testing, repeat it upon arrival and stay at the hotel until the result is received. Prepayment for the test is made before departure in the Thailand Pass system. Also be sure to download the MorChana app.

    From 12/16/2021, you can enter with a certificate of a disease that has already been transferred over the past three months, provided that at least one dose of the vaccine has been received. In addition, the second test was replaced on arrival with a rapid ATK test on days 5-6. This is cheaper than PCR testing, but there is a risk of a false-positive result and a non-zero probability of being quarantined.

    How to get there: Turkish Airlines from Minsk with a transfer in Istanbul, or direct flights from Moscow.

    Flight time: 9-10 hours from Moscow, 13-14 regular flights from Minsk with transfers

    ✈ Find a tour to Thailand


    India

    In February, you should make a choice in favor of Goa. The tourist season here lasts from November to April, the air temperature during this period ranges from +30°C to +35°C during the day.

    Goa is diverse and many-sided, it is comfortable to relax here for both lovers of a relaxing holiday and party-goers. North Goa is an uninhibited paradise for outdoor activities that will bring fun and freedom to true adventure seekers. South Goa differs from the northern part in calmness and respectability. It is famous for its beautiful white sand beaches – the longest and widest on the entire coast. This is the best place to escape from the hustle and bustle, spend your holidays in silence and merge with nature away from noisy discos and companies.

    Have fun at the carnival in Barcelona

    At the very end of February, a vacation in Catalonia turns into a real holiday. Carnival Carnestoltes starts here, timed to coincide with the beginning of the 40-day Catholic fast (analogous to our Maslenitsa). The celebrations begin on “Broad Thursday” on February 28 and end on Ash Wednesday on March 6. The main celebration in Barcelona is the Gran Rua carnival procession with an orchestra, dressed up dancers and musicians on giant decorated platforms.

    It is best to come to Barcelona in mid-February, so that the end of your holiday just happens to be at Carnestoltes – then you will have time to just see the city and take a good walk at the carnival.

    Parallel festivities take place in the suburbs. Markets hold tortilla-making competitions. The most noisy and fun celebration, with feathers, paints and sparkles, takes place in Sitges, a town that is considered the gay capital of Europe. The action is led by the glamorous Carnival King. On Wednesday, February 27, a tragic event takes place – the King is symbolically killed, thereby ending the holidays. This is a particularly striking moment, after which the “widows” and “widowers”, dressed in all black, come out to mourn the King. The local parade in Sitges is also called the “Parade of Debauchery” – so there will be nothing for hardened homophobes to do here!

    February holidays — photo

    February in Italy is considered low season due to low air and water temperatures. However, this period also has several advantages for rest.

    Should I go?

    Holidays in February in Italy have their advantages and disadvantages, which should be carefully considered before the trip.

    Leisure benefits :

    1. low prices for travel services;
    2. the lack of a large number of tourists and the ability to visit popular attractions without huge queues;
    3. the opportunity to visit the famous Italian Carnival ;
    4. the opportunity to go skiing in mountain resorts.

    Among the shortcomings are cool weather, low air and water temperatures, the impossibility of a beach holiday and high humidity.

    back to contents ↑

    Where is the best place to go?

    The choice of the place of rest depends on the purpose of the trip to Italy. For those who come to Italy to visit the sights of the country, it is better to go to Rome, Florence or Milan. Tourists wishing to see the carnival should head straight to Venice.

    Fans of skiing and outdoor activities better head to the north of the country to the resorts of Piedmont, Lombardy, Valle d’Aosta.

    back to contents ↑

    How to dress?

    February in Italy can hardly be called a beach season, so to relax at this time of the year, you need to collect a warm wardrobe — closed, waterproof shoes, pullovers, demi-season jackets or windbreakers. It is also better to take an umbrella or a raincoat with you.

    Winter sales will not only replenish your wardrobe, but also buy interesting souvenirs. Read here what you can bring from Italy.

    What to do this month?

    If a tourist is not embarrassed by the whims of the February weather in Italy, then he will be able to relax and enjoy everything that winter Italy has to offer – sightseeing without a crowd of travelers, relaxing in ski resorts, attending carnivals.

    Beach holidays

    Holidays on the beach in February in Italy are practically impossible – the water temperature does not rise above +14 degrees, and cold winds blow from the sea. At this time of the year there is a danger of flooding in Venice. If you still have a desire to walk along the sea coast, it is better to stock up on a warm jacket, hat and scarf, as well as waterproof shoes.

    What to do and see?

    Italy in February is the height of the ski holiday . In resorts of this type, you can not only go skiing and snowmobiles, but also take a dog sled ride, and enjoy your vacation in spa complexes with thermal water.

    February — is not the best time to visit sights, but it also has two significant advantages: the almost complete absence of tourists and the low cost of excursions.

    Naples, Florence, Rome, Pisa, Milan and Venice are the most popular sightseeing destinations.

    Also the last month of winter is a great time for shopping . It is during this period that you can buy high-quality branded gizmos at sales and have time to buy clothes from the latest collection for a nominal fee. Of course, Milan becomes the center of shopping during this period.

    Holidays and festivals

    The Best Destinations to Travel to in February • The Blonde Abroad

    Oh, February, the underrated darling of the calendar year. While we are still dreaming of festive Christmas markets and looking ahead to our summer beach breaks, we tend to forget that February is actually a perfect time to travel.

    These are ideal locations to get a break from the winter chill and dive into extravagant Carnival celebrations around the world.

    Here are the best destinations to travel to in February!

    Beginner’s Guide to Mardi Gras

    New Orleans

    Yes, the city will be absolutely crazy during Mardi Gras but it totally worth it at least one time in your life. Plan well in advance and get ready for the party of a lifetime.

    Before you go, check out a few tips from my experience as a newbie during Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

    Lawai Beach, Kauai

    Hawaii

    Of course, Hawaii is gorgeous 365 days a year but it is definitely not a budget destination during the vast majority of the year.

    Traveling to Hawaii in February, however, will save you a good bit of cash. After the holiday rush and before spring break, airfare tends to drop and you can snag a decent deal getting there.

    As a bonus, February is the peak of humpback whale-watching season so you will have prime opportunities to view these impressive big guys.

    And come hungry! I fell in love with Hawaiian food during my latest trip and decided to share my new passion as a top ten list of the best of the best Hawaiian foods.

    Isla Holbox

    Mexico

    When you are looking to escape the icy winter, just hop across the southern border! February is the best time of year to visit Puerto Vallarta. One of Mexico’s best beach towns, this beautiful spot is still sporting temps in the mid-70s to 80s in late winter.

    Just before the spring break madness begins, Puerto Vallarta is better than ever. Once spring hits, it is really just a party destination.

    Jardim Botanico, Rio de Janeiro

    Brazil

    Been there, done Mardi Gras? Take things to the next level in Brazil!

    Rio de Janeiro is absolutely insane and completely beautiful during Carnival. The city radiates energy and life as the music plays on every street, samba parade takes over, and street parties never end. Once again, plan as early as you can because you are not the only one looking for a party!

    Bay of Fires, Tasmania

    Tasmania

    The weather can be oppressively hot down under from late November to late January in most places, but Tasmania is typically greeted with a slight breeze and some mildly warm temperatures compared to other parts of Australia.

    As summer in the Southern Hemisphere starts to wind down, though, you will find perfect temperatures for exploring.

    Explore Freycinet National Park and Hobart, then go try your luck at getting a look at the Southern Aurora Australis, the Northern Lights’ hugely underrated sister to the south.

    Venice, Italy

    Widely hailed as one of Europe’s greatest cities, visiting Venice can actually be a bit of a nightmare during the summer. It’s muggy, crowded, and hard to get around.

    In February, on the other hand, the city’s charm is in full display.

    While rain can cause flooding as we’ve seen recently, more often rain leaves the canals with a mist that takes the adventure (and your photos!) to another level. The Venice Carnival really brings in the crowds and is such a cultural experience you won’t want to miss.

    Cape Town, South Africa

    If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I am head over heels in love with the wine regions of South Africa. In particular, Cape Town in February is prime time for wine lovers. Enjoy wine tastings or a picnic under the sun in Constantia Valley.

    Wine farms are scattered throughout this beautiful region, and best of all, summer is just winding down. The weather is warm but not too hot and it is perfect weather to enjoy the best beaches in Africa. Go surfing, check out the local wildlife, or just enjoy the February sunshine.

    UAE

    If you have ever been to the United Arab Emirates, you know that the weather gets extremely hot in the summer. I am talking about temperatures so high that you feel like you are literally going to turn into a crisp between the taxi and the hotel. While I enjoy warm weather, this is a whole different ball game.

    As much as I love Abu Dhabi and Dubai, it is not worth it in the summer…but February is ideal!

    February is the best time to visit Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and the wider region. Temperatures are at their lowest of the year and, while it is still warm and endlessly sunny, you can comfortably go out in the afternoon and lie at the beach.

    Meno a Kwena, Botswana

    Botswana

    While safaris can be expensive, you can nab a serious bargain going to Botswana in February. Prices are as much as 40 percent cheaper and you’ll avoid the crowds. While there is occasion rain, that is really not a bad thing. Thunderstorms roll into create dramatic backdrops for your photos, then quickly move on to leave you with lush vegetation and rainbows.

    Animals of all kinds are highly active in February all well.

    This is when zebra, wildebeest, and antelope are having their little ones, which are too cute. You’ll also see predators on the prowl looking for these little guys (not so cute but a real part of nature) and migratory birds are looking their best as they try to attract a mate.

    Singapore

    Last but certain not least, the best time of year to visit Singapore is in February. While the weather isn’t always great here, February is as close to perfect as you’ll find. This is the sunniest time of year and humidity is at its lowest.

    Be sure to check out my ultimate guide to Singapore before you go!

    Best Holiday Destinations in February

    Cape Town

    Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens

    It’s no secret how much I love Cape Town. A city bursting with culture, natural attractions – not to mention gorgeous beaches is, IMHO, always going to be a winner.  

    It’s an ideal destination in February because the weather is warm and dry—making it perfect for exploring outdoors! The best way to see this city is by taking one of the many walking tours available, which will take you past some of Cape Town’s most famous landmarks.

    Some of the highlights include Table Mountain (which can be climbed or taken by cable car), Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years), and the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront (a bustling marketplace with great views of the harbour).

    If you have a little more time, why not use Cape Town as the jumping-off point for a road trip along South Africa’s Garden Route – a thrilling drive through some of the country’s most dramatic scenery. 

    How to Get There: Fly direct with British Airways, Lufthansa, American Airlines or several other carriers to Cape Town International Airport.  Check flights on Skyscanner.

    Tobago

    If you’re looking for a hot destination in February with a side of tropical paradise, Tobago is the place to be. 

    This small island nation is located in the Caribbean Sea and is known for its white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters and lush rainforest. In fact, Tobago was voted “the most beautiful island in the world” by readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine in 2016.

    The most popular beaches in Tobago are Pigeon Point, Buccoo Reef, Englishman’s Bay and Store Bay. Best-known for its white sand and calm waters, Pigeon Point Beach is the perfect place to relax on your holiday.

    Tobago is also home to some of the best diving spots, so be sure to check out Buccoo Reef and Speyside if you’re a fan of underwater adventures! 

    You can even book a boat trip through Pigeon Point Heritage Park on your way back from exploring these sites—they offer a variety of different tours, including swimming with dolphins and whale watching.

    How to Get There: British Airways, Condor Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and Caribbean Airlines fly direct to A.N.R Robinson International Airport. Check flights on Skyscanner. 

    Finnish Lapland

    Of course, when I’m talking about where to travel in February, it’s not all about the hot destinations.

    There are so many places for you to travel to where you can really go all out on a winter wonderland holiday. Finnish Lapland is one such place. 

    Famous for its scenery and Northern Lights, Finnish Lapland offers a different perspective of February for those looking for a winter adventure. Whether you’re looking to spend time indoors or outside—skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, cross country skiing or hunting—Finnish Lapland offers a variety of activities to make even a winter month feel festive.

    You can’t talk about Finnish Lapland without talking about the Northern Lights. I’ve been totally obsessed with seeing the lights in Iceland, Lofoten – but I have to be honest, my experience in Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland may very well have been my favourite yet. 

    This natural phenomenon, which can be seen in various parts of the world, is a jaw-dropping sight to behold and – if you’re lucky enough to see them – will make for a truly memorable experience.

    In addition to the Northern Lights, Finnish Lapland is a great destination for those looking to enjoy other winter activities. Get outside, plough your way through the snow – whether that’s on a snowmobile, a husky or some good old snowshoes, then settle in for a nice toasty sauna at the end of it. 

    How to Get There: Fly direct to Rovaniemi with several carriers including Easyjet and Finnair. Finnair also flies to Ivalo from Helsinki. Check flights on Skyscanner. 

    Venice

    Venice needs no introduction. This Italian city was founded in the fifth century and is known for its canals, bridges and gondolas. In fact, Venice has been called the Most Beautiful City in the World for time immemorial thanks to its undeniable good looks and charming architecture.

    Why have I chosen it as one of the best European destinations to travel to in February? Winter might not feel like the most obvious time to visit Venice, but that’s exactly why you should go now—you’ll beat the (horrific) summer crowds and enjoy a more authentic experience rubbing shoulders with the locals. 

    Sight-wise, there are so many must-sees in Venice that you won’t want to miss. Be sure to check out St. Mark’s Square, the Doge’s Palace and Bridge of Sighs—these are just a few of our favourite spots in this beautiful city!

    Don’t forget to hop on a vaporetto to Burano in the Venetian lagoon either – where the brightly-coloured houses offer a distinct contrast to Venice itself.  

    Venice is also home to some of the best restaurants in Italy, so be sure to check out Osteria Alle Testiere or Ristorante Da Fiore if you’re looking for an indulgent meal to savour on your trip. 

    How to Get There: Fly direct to Marco Polo International Airport (VCE). Check flights on Skyscanner.

    Costa Rica

    Costa Rica is a country like no other. It’s home to volcanoes, rainforests and beaches—all in one! If you’re looking for an adventure-filled trip, this is the place for you.

    The average temperature ranges from 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 Celsius) in January up until about 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 Celsius) in April, so it’s perfect for year-round travel – but particularly good in February. 

    Must-visit spots include Arenal Volcano National Park – where you can see an active volcano – and even bathe in the volcano’s geothermal water. Bed down in the nearby town of Arenal.

    Another highlight is the Manuel Antonio National Park, a stretch of paradise encompassing diverse habitats from pristine beaches to lush rainforest. 

    Costa Rica is also home to a variety of different animals, including sloths, monkeys and toucans. You can even go zip lining through the rainforest or river rafting down the Pacuare River if you’re looking for an adrenaline rush!

    Costa Rica is located on both coasts of Central America, so you’ll find beaches with white sand or black volcanic rock depending where you go–but regardless which side you choose to visit first, there’s plenty more waiting for your next trip. 

    How to Get There: Several carriers fly to San Jose (SJO) Juan Santamaria International Airport. Check flights on Skyscanner. 

    Lanzarote

    Lanzarote – a small Spanish island off the coast of Africa, is known for its volcanic landscape and year-round sunshine – a winning combination for a cool holiday destination in February.  

    Must-see spots include Timanfaya National Park, Cuevas del Llano Museum & Volcanoes Interpretation Centre and Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park.

    This is a hiker’s paradise – Lanzarote’s volcanic geology has created some of the most unique landscapes in the world. What better way to explore them than strapping on your boots and setting off for an adventure. One of my favourite hikes takes you through the Malpais de la Corona Nature Reserve – complete with its black lava rock formations and beautiful views of the coast.

    If you’re looking for a more challenging hike, head to the Timanfaya National Park. Located in the heart of Lanzarote, it is known for its volcanoes and lava fields. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart, but if you’re looking for an adventure, this is the place to go!

    How to Get There: Fly direct to Lanzarote Airport (ACE). Check flights on Skyscanner.  

    Fez

    If you’re looking for a destination with history, culture and great food, head to Fez. Located in northern Morocco, Fez was founded as one of four ancient imperial cities in the country around A.D 800 by Idris I (founder of the Idrisid dynasty).

    Today it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its medieval walled city, which contains the largest medina in North Africa.

    A great way to experience Fez is by visiting its many markets, where you can pick up everything from spices and handwoven rugs to pottery and leather goods. In fact, there are so many products on offer that it can be hard not to get lost—which is part of the fun!

    Fez is also home to some amazing food, with dishes that range from simple (like a tagine) to more complex (like mechoui). Be sure to try as many as you can while you’re in town. 

    How to Get There: Several carriers including Ryanair and Royal Air Maroc fly to Fes Saiss Airport.   Check flights on Skyscanner. 

    New Orleans

    If you’re looking for a city with a lively music scene and plenty of culture, New Orleans is the place to be. 

    This historic city was founded in 1718 by the French and is known for its vibrant architecture, food and music. In fact, New Orleans has been called the “Cultural Capital of the South”. 

    The culinary scene in New Orleans is world-renowned and features everything from Cajun and Creole dishes to soul food and barbecue. Some of the most famous dishes in New Orleans include gumbo, jambalaya, po’boys and beignets (a type of deep-fried doughnut). And don’t forget the cocktails. 

    If you’re organised, visit during Mardi Gras — one of the best times to see the city really let loose. The festivities are held annually on Fat Tuesday (the last day before Lent).

    If you can’t make it for Mardi Gras, don’t worry—there’s always something happening in New Orleans!

    How to Get There: Fly to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). Check flights on Skyscanner. 

    Barcelona

    How does exploring a city with stunning architecture, great food and plenty of culture sound? Pretty brilliant right? Say hi to Barcelona. 

    This exuberant Spanish city is home to some of the most famous landmarks in Europe, including La Sagrada Família (Gaudi’s unfinished cathedral), Park Guell and Casa Batllo.

    Barcelona is also known for buzzing tapas scene. Feast on these small dishes that can be enjoyed as an appetiser or a light meal. Be sure to try some of the local favourites, like calamares (fried squid) and patatas bravas (potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce).

    How to Get There: Fly direct to Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN). Check flights on Skyscanner. 

    Miami 

    Miami is a city like no other. It has beautiful beaches, art deco buildings and an eclectic nightlife scene that is kinda crazy, all kinds of brilliant. 

    Sun, sand and an attitude that’s uniquely Miami, it’s a cool destination that marries the liveliness of a city break with gorgeous beaches where you can work on your tan.  

    Must-see spots include chic South Beach, the colourful street art at Wynwood Walls and the striking architecture of the Art Deco District.

    How to Get There: Fly direct to Miami International Airport (MIA). Check flights on Skyscanner.

    Revealed: Europe’s Top 20 Best Destinations for 2022 Travel

    While Europe has experienced its share of COVID-19 surges and the accompanying disruptions over the past two years, in many countries, restrictions are now relaxing or falling away entirely as the pandemic moves toward becoming endemic.

    There’s, “a growing call to consider the coronavirus a permanent fixture in our lives is resonating in the world of travel and among industry representatives,” the New York Times wrote recently, according to Forbes.

    ADVERTISING

    Trending Now

    While entry rules and safety measures in each country continue to wax and wane with COVID-19 conditions, travelers who’ve longed for an escape to the Continent may find that 2022 presents the opportunity to realize those dreams.

    Then, the question becomes which destination(s) to choose from among Europe’s many cultural gems. Fortunately, European Best Destinations (EBD) just released its thirteenth annual list of the trendiest places to travel in Europe for 2022.

    The promotional organization, which works in partnership with hundreds of tourist offices, surveyed over 520,000 travelers in 182 countries. They were presented with a selection of over 400 destinations to choose from, and rankings were then awarded to the top 20 most-voted-upon destinations.

    Participants submitted their entries online between January 20 and February 10. Fifty-six percent of them hailed from within Europe, while 44 percent were from outside Europe.

    The competition, like the rest of its thematic rankings compiled throughout the year, has historically bolstered real-life tourism in the winning locales, resulting in an average tourism growth of more than 15 percent in the promoted destinations.

    These are 2022’s most-coveted European destinations, as voted by EBD’s audience:

    1. Ljubljana, Slovenia

    Slovenia’s capital city opted for a pedestrianized historic center earlier than other European destinations and has taken pains to ensure that it’s an environmentally friendly urban environment. Large green areas, combine with rich architectural and cultural history, calling to lovers of art, culture, entertainment and authentic cuisine.

    2. Marbella, Spain

    Marbella, considered Europe’s “capital of the sun”, caters to outdoor and sports enthusiasts, as much as it does travelers looking for refined hotels and restaurants, shopping, relaxation and quality dining options. The charming Spanish city is also attracting more companies and investors, as well as an increasing population of digital nomads. Marbella also claimed the number one spot on EBD’s list of Europe’s Most Exclusive Destinations.

    3. Amiens, France

    A beautiful, peaceful haven filled with gentle canals and floating gardens, Amiens ranks as the fourth greenest city in France. Ideally situated in the Paris-London-Brussels triangle, it’s the only French city to boast three UNESCO heritage sites and is overlooked by one of France’s most magnificent Gothic cathedrals. Its famous Hortillonnages—a 300-hectare (741-acre) green sanctuary in the heart of the city—can be experienced on foot, bike, boat or even a kayak.

    Warm destinations

    Thanks to the hot climate in these countries, you do not need to take a wetsuit with you, since the air and water warm up to 27-30 degrees. Here you can not only surf in winter, but also swim and sunbathe on the beach. The disadvantages of warm destinations include the rather high cost of air travel, due to the remoteness of these routes.

    Bali. This Indonesian island is a paradise for surfers: great ocean waves, developed surf culture, a large number of schools and surf camp. In winter, we recommend going to the east coast. Here you can catch the best waves.

    Sri Lanka. This beautiful island is one of the most popular destinations. Numerous spots, exotic nature, golden sandy beaches and warm water attract surfers from all over the world. Beginners are advised to go to the village of Weligama in the south of the island. Even a novice surfer can easily conquer the gentle waves near the local shore. Professional athletes will surely enjoy the west coast in the Hikkaduwa region, and sunny and warm weather will allow you to enjoy a full resort holiday.

    Philippines. In winter, you will not find giant waves here, so the rest on the islands is suitable even for beginners. In the Philippines, you will also find beautiful nature, a variety of resorts, numerous opportunities for classic, kite, SUP and windsurfing.

    Mexico. On the Pacific coast there are convenient beaches for both beginners and pros. The length of the coastline reaches 5,000 km. The indisputable advantages of the Mexican coast include warm water all year round, developed sports infrastructure and stable waves of 1.5–2 m. Thrill-seekers will appreciate the spots where waves rise up to 5 m.

    Dominican Republic. The period from November to April is considered the high tourist season, which is favored in every possible way by the local weather: the air temperature is above 30 degrees, a pleasant refreshing wind and rare rains. Surfing in the Dominican Republic is possible all year round, but in winter it is recommended to choose the northern coast, which is washed by the Sargasso Sea.

    Vietnam. The popularity of the resorts of this country in the cold season is gaining momentum among Russian tourists. When there are frosts and snow in Russia, here you can bask in the sun and catch a wave. Local beaches will provide you with all the conditions for mastering a noble sport: soft sandy bottom, shallow water, gently sloping waves right next to the shore. Warm climate, exotic nature and well-heated water will make your holiday in Vietnam complete and unforgettable. Beginners are advised to visit the beach near the village of Mui Ne. However, seasoned professionals will surely enjoy the Vietnamese winter as well. From October to March, the swell season begins here. Thrill-seekers are happy to go to spots in Phan Thiet, Vung Tau and Phu Quoc. The time of classes for surfers is strictly defined in accordance with the level of training: in the morning for beginners, in the afternoon for more experienced athletes.

    It should be noted that the peculiarity of the resorts, which are washed by the seas, and not by the oceans, is the instability of the waves. They may not be there at all, or they quickly pass. If you are purposefully going to surf, it is better to choose directions where the waves come in steadily so that you are not disappointed. By the way, you will find a sufficient number of such beaches. If surfing is not a priority for you, and most importantly, it is a good, complete vacation, then you will most likely like Vietnam and other similar resorts. Here you can soak up the sun, and swim, and surf, and find entertainment for the whole family.

    Cold directions

    Despite the positive air temperature, going on vacation to the countries that will be discussed below, you should take care of a wetsuit. The water is already quite cool, and you will be uncomfortable in it without the appropriate equipment. Among the advantages of cold destinations are stable waves, which are especially good for surfing, and low airfare in winter. In addition, there is no crowding on the beaches, as in the summer during the high season, when streams of tourists flock to the resorts.

    Canary Islands. This is an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, which is a Spanish province. Surfers come to catch a wave on the two largest islands – Tenerife and Fuerteventura, as well as on Lanzarote. In winter, the air in the archipelago warms up to 25 degrees, and the water temperature in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of the Canary Islands does not rise above 18–20 degrees, so a wetsuit for surfing in winter is essential here. During the cold season, the Canary Islands can see the biggest waves, which can reach a height of 8 m. Experienced surfers can defy the elements, sliding on high ridges. For beginners, there is also something to do on the islands. They can practice tricks by riding foam and small waves. For surfers, rental shops, equipment stores and campsites are constantly open, and here you will find numerous schools for learning this sport.

    Morocco. Surfing in winter is also quite pleasant here. The air temperature remains at least 23 degrees, and the water is not lower than 18. However, you cannot do without a wetsuit, because without it it will become cold very soon. In winter, the best waves come to the coast of Morocco, so for surfers this is a real expanse. Even on those beaches where there was a calm in the summer, now you can ride a board. Dense foam is great for training beginners, and you can practice skills on small waves 1.5–2.5 m high. Fascinating ridge riding in Morocco also awaits experienced athletes. In some surf spots, you can find stable waves of 3-5 m, and during a storm, their height can reach up to 10 m.

    Portugal. Despite the fact that this direction is the coldest in this category, nevertheless it is very popular among Russian surfers. Let’s dwell on it in more detail.

    Winter surfing in Portugal

    It is no coincidence that this state was called the European capital of waves. All year round surfers flock to the Iberian Peninsula to practice their favorite sport. Portugal is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, which provides constant and high waves that are wrapped in pipes. The advantage of surfing in winter is also relatively inexpensive tickets and deserted beaches at this time of the year.

    Going to Portugal, you need to know that both the air and the water are cold here, so you need to take care of the appropriate equipment. You will need not only a warm wetsuit with a hood, but also wet shoes and hydro gloves. The water temperature is no more than 14 degrees, so the thickness of the equipment should be at least ¾. It will be even more comfortable to ride in a 5/4 suit.

    Such difficulties do not stop the real extreme people, who are irresistibly attracted to test their strength and conquer the elements. Giant waves occur in Portugal only during this period of time, due to winter storms.

    For beginners, there are also all conditions for surfing here. In winter, you will find good foam off the coast of Portugal, which will allow you to quickly learn to stand on the board. However, due to the cold, beginners, unlike the pros, are not very willing to come here in winter. However, surf schools on the Portuguese coast are open throughout the year. Experienced coaches and favorable conditions will guarantee that you will soon master this noble sport.

    • Czech Republic

    February vacation can be called one of the most profitable of the year. Traditional European holidays and vacations are coming to an end, which means that the flow of tourists is falling sharply in most areas. If you can afford a holiday this time of year, you’ll likely be lucky enough to save some money. And the best part is that you can answer the question of where to go to relax in February in different ways. Not only tropical islands and the sea are open to travelers, but also European cities with their carnivals and ski resorts.

    Where to go in February to the sea to the islands

    Most of Russia lives far from the sea, and therefore traditionally prefers to spend their holidays on the beach with clean sand and salty surf. At first glance, the options are quite typical: it’s worth going on vacation to Southeast Asia, the Caribbean and the south of the African continent. But some unique options can also be considered.

    Beaches of Vietnam

    The unique and peculiar culture, favorable climate, friendliness and non-spoiltness of the locals can provide the most enjoyable holiday. You should go to the south of the country or to its central part, for example, to Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang, Phan Thiet or Phu Quoc Island. The air temperature in these cities rises to + 27-32 degrees, and the water in the sea warms up to + 25-27.

    You can relax here not only lazily sipping a cocktail on the beach, but also actively having fun. Tourists are happy to dive into the clear waters of the South China Sea with scuba gear, ride the cable car of Phu Quoc Island, and visit numerous temples. In early February, you can go to the biggest holiday – Tet Nguyen Dan – with colorful processions, interesting rituals, fairs and festivals.

    Pros of :

    • An exciting and varied entertainment program.

    • Good hotel base, including on the islands.

    • Affordable cost of excursions and entertainment.

    • You can not get a visa if you are going to rest for no more than 15 days.

    Cons :

    • The highest cost for tours to Vietnam falls on February.

    • Long flight from the central part of Russia. From Moscow, travel time will take about 10 hours to Ho Chi Minh City and 13-14 hours to Phu Quoc Island. From St. Petersburg, flights fly only with transfers, which significantly increases the duration of the flight.

    Like any South Asian country, Vietnam at first sight falls in love with itself for many years or repels forever. It’s all the fault of the difference in culture, life, cuisine. In fact, you should go here to relax with a positive attitude, and respect the locals with all their advantages and disadvantages. In this case, the rest on the sea and the beach will be great, and the best impressions will remain in memory.

    Sea in Thailand

    Another traditional winter destination, so loved by our tourists. February is considered the very end of the tourist season, and therefore the cost of tours, accommodation and meals here are indecently falling. In different regions of the country and on different islands, the air temperature at this time of the year rises to + 26-31 degrees, the sea is not inferior to this indicator by a single degree. Moreover, unlike the autumn months and early winter, the hot Thai sun does not hide behind the clouds at all, and rains are almost impossible.

    You can go on vacation to the beaches of Phuket and Koh Samui, young people will highly appreciate the province of Krabi and the most famous party city of the country – Pattaya. And if the sea is calm enough in the Gulf of Thailand, then on the beaches of the Andaman Sea it is quite possible to surf in all its variations. In addition, literally every region is famous for its architectural sights, temples, sculptures, which means that the excursion program is well developed.

    Pros :

    • The visa is issued upon arrival at the airport.

    • Good level of service even in 3 star hotels.

    • Clean beaches and sea.

    • Low prices in local markets and cafes.

    Cons :

    • Some resorts can only be reached with transfers from Bangkok, for example, to the islands of Krabi and Koh Samui.

    • Long flight. On average, about 10-11 hours from St. Petersburg and about 12 from Moscow.

    • You will not find the “all inclusive” habitual for Turkey or Egypt in hotels in Thailand, even in the most expensive ones.

    Rest in the kingdom can be quite mobile. Nothing prevents you from booking an inexpensive tour on the beach of Phuket, and then go on your own to explore the province of Krabi, Koh Samui or any other city. There is a well-developed sea ferry service and rental of small boats, as well as train and bus trips.

    Beach holidays in India

    Mass tourism in this country is still poorly developed. Unless experienced travelers, who are difficult to surprise with anything, choose major cities of the country to get acquainted with its features, culture, and way of life. But there are a couple of regions where a comfortable and safe holiday on the beach and the sea is quite possible, namely the states of Kerala and Goa. In February, pleasant and almost cloudless weather reigns in both regions. The air temperature warms up to + 32-33 degrees, and water – not less than +26.

    On the beaches of the main resorts of the country there are many hotels with a good level of service. The infrastructure in the cities is also excellently developed. The number of shops and shopping centers here just rolls over, so shopping lovers will have a place to spend time. Add to this the excellent knowledge of the English language by the locals, unusual culture and cuisine, and you will understand that the rest here will become perhaps the most memorable in life.

    Pros of :

    • You can apply for a holiday visa online.

    • Low prices for accommodation, meals, souvenirs.

    • Good knowledge of local English.

    Cons :

    • It is necessary to carefully choose a cafe and monitor the availability of clean water.

    • Even on popular beaches, there is a lack of entertainment. Surfing is widely represented here, perhaps.

    • Long flight. About 8 hours from Moscow to the center of Goa. You can get to Kerala only with a transfer no less than 16 hours.

    Holidays on the beaches of Goa and Kerala can be called fundamentally opposite. The first one is more popular with young people, it provides a typical party vacation at the sea at the same time as the study of ancient spiritual features. The second is suitable for families. Here you can go on vacation on a variety of excursions, visit national parks and reserves, take children to an amusement park.

    How to relax in Sri Lanka

    February is the best month for relaxing on the beaches of the island. At this time of the year there is almost no wind and absolutely no rain. The temperature on the popular beaches rises to +30-32 degrees, and the water in the sea warms up to a comfortable +28. The heat subsides somewhat only at night, but even then it is quite pleasant to relax on the street – the temperature is kept within +23 degrees.

    The best resorts of the island for winter are the cities of Galle, Kandy and Colombo with excellent beaches. This is where you should go to relax. Excursion programs resume, a huge amount of fruits ripen, local waterfalls become full-flowing and attract hundreds of tourists who appreciate natural beauties. The island is also famous for its excellent spa centers and Ayurvedic health complexes.

    Pros of :

    • Low prices for accommodation and meals, especially for fruits and seafood.

    • A visa can be obtained in advance online or upon arrival at the airport.

    • The magnificent nature of the island.

    Cons :

    • Sri Lankan service is somewhat intrusive.

    • A large number of young tourists who prefer a noisy holiday.

    • Long flight to the island. It takes about 9 hours from Moscow and about 12 from St. Petersburg (with transfers).

    • The beaches are not distinguished by soft white sand. Rather, they are characterized by small pebbles that prevent them from swimming in the sea.

    • Local guides and souvenir sellers often overprice their goods.

    Sri Lanka is a modern island, so entertainment here is in line with global trends. You can go on a safari or camping in one of the national parks, get to know the local villages from the inside, or buy another original eco-tour.

    Where to go on vacation in February without a visa

    Most countries in Southeast Asia provide Russians with a simplified visa regime, but if you don’t feel like spending your time and money on paperwork, you can take advantage of other interesting offers.

    Philippines

    One of the few tropical countries that has established a visa-free regime for Russia for up to 30 days of stay. It would be simply stupid not to take advantage of this and not see the local beaches and the sea. The Philippines consists of many small islands, but Boracay Island can be considered the most suitable for relaxation. The air temperature here at this time of the year is quite comfortable and stays within + 28-29degrees.

    Naturally, when coming here, tourists first of all want to visit local beaches, which, by the way, can be called ideal. But there are also excellent excursion programs that allow you to see the amazing flora and fauna of the islands. Cebu orchards, crocodile farms, unique architectural monuments of the island – all this is available to tourists at the lowest price.

    Pros of :

    • The friendliness of the locals.

    • Low prices for accommodation.

    • Good knowledge of local English.

    • The islands host many festivals and celebrations.

    Cons :

    • It will take at least 14 hours to get to the islands from Moscow, and besides, with transfers.

    • Plastic cards are still not popular in local shops and cafes.

    • Internet and mobile communications are much worse than in European countries.

    The Philippine Islands are a real exotic. There are much fewer tourists here than in Thailand or Goa, but the beaches, nature and sea are much better in many ways. To visit the country in February means to see it in all its glory. Special attention can be paid to volcanoes – a real attraction of the state.

    Dominican Republic

    Vacationing in the Dominican Republic at this time of the year means being in the country at the height of the hot season. Despite the high cost of tours, there will really be many travelers here. What will they do? Holidays will not be limited to the beach and the sea, because it is in February that local residents spend the most important holidays and festivals, including celebrating Independence Day.

    The best hotels are located in the resorts of Santo Domingo, Puerto Plata and Santa Cruz de Barahona. The water and air temperature here does not drop below +27 degrees, and only in the evenings you can feel a pleasant coolness. To diversify your vacation, you can go on a small cruise and try to find humpback whales. In winter, they swim very close to the shores.

    Pros of :

    • Excellent weather allows you to fully enjoy the flora and fauna of the state, as well as explore the underwater world.

    • The beaches of the country are really luxurious. Many of them have received the Blue Flag award.

    • Popular hotels operate on an all-inclusive basis.

    Cons :

    • Most tours are obscenely expensive.

    • On average, the road to the Dominican Republic takes 13-14 hours when departing from Central Russia.

    • The language barrier. The hotel staff mostly speaks Spanish, even English is not known to everyone.

    Time in the Dominican Republic will fly by very quickly. Here you can not only sunbathe on clean sand, but also get carried away with diving, snorkeling or windsurfing. If the thirst for adventure does not leave, go in search of filibuster treasures. It was here that they hid their countless treasures.

    Where to go skiing

    Sometimes in winter you want snow activities: go skiing or snowboarding with the breeze, breathe in the clean mountain air and not spend the entire free budget. The best places for such a vacation are literally next door.

    Georgia

    In February, the attention of tourists is attracted by the ski resorts of the country. The weather here can vary from city to city, but on average the temperature stays at around -4 to +1 degrees, if we talk about mountainous regions. Good tracks for athletes can be offered by Gudauri, Bakuriani, Hatsvali and Goderdzi. All of them are located at different heights and are designed to accommodate skiers with different skills.

    If you want to minimize extreme sports or go on vacation with children, opt for the first option. Here is the maximum number of slopes suitable for young travelers, and not far from the ski lifts there are hotels, cafes, sports equipment rentals and much more. For kids from 4 years old, even ski schools are provided.

    Pros of :

    • It will take no more than a couple of hours to fly to Georgia by plane from Central Russia. In addition, you can go here to relax by car, taking with you all the sports equipment.

    • The friendliness and hospitality of the local people are known all over the world.

    • One of the most budget options for a ski holiday.

    Cons :

    • The mountain resorts of Georgia are quite crowded and most of the guests are our compatriots.

    • The level of service is much inferior not only to European, but also to South Asian.

    • The entertainment program is quite poor.

    What any tourist will notice during a vacation in Georgia is the amazing cuisine of the country and the local wine sold at a low price. The cleanest healing air and proximity to mineral springs will allow you to take a real health course, which is in no way inferior to the healing properties of the sea and the beach on the other side of the world.

    Montenegro

    Of course, the Adriatic Sea in February is too cold to please tourists, so lying peacefully on the beach, like on the Asian islands, will not work at this time of the year, but completely new perspectives open up before the guests of the country. The nature of Montenegro is so multifaceted and beautiful that it will be especially pleasant to explore it, go to rest in local towns on the banks of rivers and lakes or take a walk through the forests.

    In addition to eco-tourism, ski resorts and sightseeing holidays become available to travelers. You can rent a car at the lowest prices and go to see nature reserves, national parks, old streets, fortresses and churches in your favorite tourist areas – Kotor, Perast, Bar, Herceg Novi. For example, in Kotor, a traditional carnival takes place in February, marking the arrival of spring.

    You can go skiing in the resorts of Zabljak and Kolasin. It is here that the best sports centers are equipped, with modern ski lifts, slopes of varying difficulty levels and numerous hotels, shops, and rental offices.

    Pros of :

    • Prices for the excursion program, accommodation and meals fall several times.

    • A flight from Moscow and St. Petersburg takes an average of 3 hours.

    • The culture and cuisine of Montenegro pleases the guests of the country not only in summer, but also in winter.

    • There are very few tourists.

    Cons :

    • In February, rains are not uncommon, overshadowing the rest.

    • Many cafes and hotels are closed all winter, a wide choice remains only in ski resorts.

    In general, Montenegrin winter holidays can be called quiet and peaceful. Do not expect the usual noise, fun parties and parties. Enjoy magnificent nature, sea and mountain views and other delights of almost sleeping towns.

    Serbia

    Despite the proximity to Russia, the winter in Serbia is milder and more pleasant. The air temperature during the day here can rise to + 6-9 degrees. Spring is fast approaching and the sun is almost always shining outside the window. For relaxation at this time of the year, you can go to the city of Kopaonik, famous for its ski slopes.

    The region is prepared to receive the largest number of athletes. There are 40 slopes, and for the convenience of visitors, 20 lifts are provided. Unlike many European ski resorts, you can ride and relax here not only during the daytime, but also at night.

    Apart from skiing and snowboarding, as well as therapeutic baths in spa centers, Serbia will show its guests the most beloved public holidays and festivals. In February, Statehood Day is celebrated here, sausage and film festivals are held.

    Pros of :

    • Mild climate.

    • The tourist infrastructure is well developed.

    • Low prices for tours, accommodation and meals.

    • Local residents are friendly to our compatriots.

    • No language barrier due to the similarity of languages.

    Cons :

    • The political situation in the country has been tense for many years, so it is better to avoid sensitive topics when communicating with locals.

    • Serbs are slow, which often annoys tourists.

    Serbia is a small and authentic country. Coming here, you need to remember about respect for foreign culture, traditions, cuisine. In this case, the locals will be as responsive and good-natured as possible, offering new conditions for an interesting holiday.

    Where to go in February in Europe

    Favorite European destinations suffer from a lack of tourists in winter. New Year’s beauties and a special alluring atmosphere have already been removed here, and the hot sun has not yet returned from the tropical islands. But the excursion program remains relevant, and the prices for it and accommodation are significantly reduced, which becomes the main advantage.

    Italy

    While beach lovers enjoy the sea somewhere in Asia, real connoisseurs of culture come to Venice for the most famous carnival in Europe. Bright costumes, handmade masks, hundreds of participants – for two weeks the whole country is immersed in the atmosphere of a holiday, although the main events are held in one of the most romantic cities on the planet.

    Italy is a small country, but rich in history and sights. Every guest of the country should go at least to the Roman Colosseum, the palaces of Florence and the churches of Milan. In other words, the cultural program can be as rich as your legs and wallet can withstand. However, due to the decline in tourist activity, prices for programs are falling very much.

    Pros of :

    • Opportunity to see the main cultural and historical monuments of Europe.

    • No crowds of tourists.

    • Low prices for tours and excursions.

    Cons :

    • There is a high chance of rain throughout the country.

    • The language barrier.

    • During the period of the Venice Festival, there is a need to book accommodation in advance so that you do not have to spend the night in the simplest hostel.

    • The need for a visa.

    Italy in February is an opportunity to feel the real life of the country, not limited to advertised resorts. Inclement weather can confuse plans a little, but, in extreme cases, you can always change your mind and go to one of the ski centers, where a completely different life is in full swing.

    Spain

    Unlike Italy, February in this country offers much more pleasant weather conditions. The air temperature in Barcelona, ​​Valencia, on the island of Mallorca and Ibiza sometimes reaches +18-20 degrees. Sunbathing on the beach and swimming in the sea is not enough, but enjoying local carnivals, visiting ancient castles and monasteries, or taking a child to one of the amusement parks is quite realistic.

    But the most popular winter resort in Spain is the island of Tenerife. Here, even the water in the sea warms up to quite comfortable for an adult + 18-19 degrees, and from the daytime sun it will not be superfluous to use a protective cream. On the island you can go diving or surfing, go on a sea cruise or ride a catamaran without leaving the beach. Do not close for the winter and numerous amusement parks.

    Pros of :

    • Prices are significantly lower than in summer.

    • The tourist and hotel infrastructure of the beaches and the island as a whole is well developed.

    • There are quite a few tourists.

    • The level of service remains high.

    Cons :

    • The need for a visa.

    • The main resorts of the country and the best hotels are somewhat removed from major cities.

    • The flight to Tenerife will take approximately 6-7 hours from Moscow.

    Choosing the “Island of Eternal Spring” or any other city in Spain in February, you are taking some risks. You are unlikely to spoil the rest, but the overall impression is quite. It’s all about high expectations. Tourists are used to hearing about hot weather, clear seas and pleasant beaches, but they should not be the focus of winter holidays. Better set yourself up to view the local beauties.

    Czech Republic

    A long vacation in the Czech Republic in February will be a waste of time, but you can definitely go on vacation for a couple of days in one of your favorite tourist towns. Prague and Karlovy Vary can be considered the most suitable. In the snow and rain inherent in this time of year, the local architecture looks especially authentic, and warming yourself in the cafe with hot dishes of local cuisine is a real pleasure.

    In addition to an extensive excursion program, tourists can enjoy treatment with famous mineral waters. Balneological resorts are a real attraction of the country. But if that’s not enough, you can make yourself a great European shopping experience. Prices in winter will pleasantly please travelers, and the quality of goods is in no way inferior to Italian or any other.

    Pros of :

    • You can get to the Czech Republic not only by plane, but also by bus or train.

    • A huge number of historical and cultural sites that can be viewed without crowds of tourists.

    • Delicious food and great beer selection.

    Cons :

    In February, two famous festivals are held in the Czech Republic at once: the Bohemian Carnival for adults and Amoretto for children. And this means that in addition to the usual excursion program, unique performances are available to tourists. In them, as well as possible, all the cultural features of the Czechs are revealed. So if you want to learn about the country to the maximum, winter will be a great time of the year.

    Whether to go to the sea in February or see the ancient cities of Europe – the choice for a winter holiday is really great and in each option you can find advantages and disadvantages. The main thing is to set your priorities correctly, calculate the budget and make sure that every traveler is interesting: whether it is a young active adult, a child or an elderly person.

    Fabulous Vietnam

    In February, the south of Vietnam pleases tourists with excellent weather, and in the north of the country you can visit the sights. The best places for those who prefer a beach holiday are Nha Trang, Phu Quoc and Phan Thiet.

    This country has many attractions besides the beaches. You can visit local temples, look into fishing villages, buy souvenirs and traditional decorations in the markets. Even those who do not really like Asian culture will have something to do in this country.

    Cordoba: Temperatures – Precipitation – Sunshine hours – Best time – Weather by month

    The climate of Córdoba, a city of Andalusia, can be defined as Mediterranean, but owing to the particularly hot summer, it can be considered as an almost African city. In fact, Córdoba is in summer the hottest city not only in Spain but throughout Europe, and often even more so than the nearby city of Seville, which is equally located in the plain to south of the Sierra Morena and crossed by the Guadalquivir river, but a little closer to the sea.

    Córdoba is located at an altitude of 100 meters (330 feet), at the foot of the Sierra Morena. The upper part of the city reaches up to 250 meters (800 ft).

    The average temperature of the coldest month (January) is of 9.5 °C (49 °F), that of the hottest months (July and August) is of 28 °C (82. 5 °F). Here are the average temperatures.

    Winter, from December to February, is mild, even though it is a bit colder than in Seville.

    There are many sunny days, in which the air is mild during the day, but it can get cold at night. Also, in periods of good weather, fog can form at night and in the early morning.

    However, there are also periods of bad weather, with wind and rain.

    Very cold days are rare, however, due to the distance from the sea, there may be light frosts at night. On the coldest nights of the year, the temperature generally drops to -2/-3 °C (27/28 °F).

    Occasionally, there may also be short cold spells. The cold record is -8 °C (17.5 °F) and was set in December 1979 and in January 2005. In January 1985, the temperature reached -6 °C (21 °F), and in February 2012, it reached -4.5 °C (23.5 °F).

    Snow in Córdoba is very rare (although it is a little more frequent than in Seville). Snow is more frequent in the upper part of the city. Snowfalls that also whitened the city center occurred in February 1954 (when it also snowed in Seville), January 1971, March 1971, January 2006 (therefore, after 35 years), and January 2010.

    Spring is a bit unstable in March and sometimes in April, with windy and sometimes rainy days, but overall, it’s a mild and sunny season, and it becomes more and more stable and soon even hot, before the rest of Europe. Already in April, daytime temperatures often approach 30 °C (86 °F). In May, the first very hot days can occur, especially in the second half of the month.

    Summer, from June to mid-September, is very hot and sunny, with very rare rains.
    Highs are usually about 37 °C (99 °F) in July and August, however, there are periods of scorching heat. On the hottest days of the year, the temperature normally reaches 42/43 °C (107/109 °F).

    The highest temperature is 47 °C (116.5 °F) and was recorded in August 2021. In July 2015, the average maximum was 40.3 °C (104.5 °F), with an extreme maximum of 45 °C (113 °F). In that year, the temperature had already reached 41 °C (106 °F) in May. In 2016, it reached 45.5 °C (114 °F) in early September.

    However, the humidity is not high, and the daily temperature range is considerable, so that nights usually bring a bit of relief.

    Autumn, from mid-September to November, is initially hot and sunny: still in October, especially in the first half, the temperature often reaches 30 °C (86 °F). However, in this season, rain starts to fall.

    The amount of sunshine in Córdoba is great in summer, when clear skies prevail, it is good in spring, especially from mid-April onwards, and it is still decent in autumn and winter, when there is a moderate amount of cloudy days, during periods of bad weather, but there are also sunny periods.

    In one year, there are 2,900 hours of sunshine. Here are the average sunshine hours per day.

    Best Time

    In order to avoid both the summer heat and the winter rains, the best months to visit Córdoba are April, May and October, though it can sometimes rain. Those who can stand the heat can also choose the summer, but they have to be prepared to stroll around the city with scorching heat.

    In winter, you can find several pleasant days, sunny and spring-like, although it can get cold at night, and waves of bad weather are not excluded.

    Murcia – The Hottest Region in Spain

    With 300 sunny days per year and a warm salt lagoon, Murcia is the ideal destination for relaxing holidays. While the popular Costa Cálida allures with long beaches and small bays, the heartland offers green, fertile and artificially irrigated strips of land.

    Geography – One of the driest European regions

    Murcia is a region at the Mediterranean coast in the south-east of Spain, which has an area of 11,300 km². This autonomous community is enclosed by Valencia, Castilla-La Mancha and Andalusia and consists of only one province as well as a capital of the same name. Murcia is one of the driest regions in the whole of Europe with about 300 sunny days per year. Its Mediterranean climate causes mild winters and hot summers with temperatures of up to 50 °C. This is the reason for the constant water shortage in the province. The region is crossed by the Baetic Cordillera and its highest mountain is the Revolcadores with a height of 2,015 metres.

    Nature – Long, fine beaches and a salt lagoon

    Murcia’s nature is most of all known for its Costa Cálida, a coast line of 250 kilometres of length. Long fine sandy beaches, which are partly interrupted by the mountainous landscape and lined with Mediterranean dwarf palms, oleander and pricky pear, are characteristic of Murcia’s coast. A very popular beach is the Las Delicias near Águilas, which has been awarded with the Blue Flag (given to high-quality, environmentally compliant beaches). A special – if not Murcia’s most frequently visited – attraction is the Mar Menor, which is the greatest saline inland water in Europe. This saltwater lagoon is separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a sandbank (“La Manga”) of 24 kilometres of length. Its maximum depth of 2 metres causes the water temperature to be five °C higher than in the sea. Due to its idiosyncrasies, you find animals in this water which do not normally exist in this climate zone such as flamingos, gilt-head breams, squids or groupers. The regional park Calblanque is close to Mar Menor and also offers beautiful sandy beaches and small, quiet bays, which make it possible for visitors to bathe without being watched. Other natural sights in Murcia are the bays of Cartagena and unique erosion formations like those in Mazarrón. There are green, rural, artificially irrigated areas (Huertas) in the region’s heartland, which contrast with the barren, dry regions and mountain chains. The mountain ranges of El Carche, Espuña, La Pila and Ricote reach heights of up to 1,000 metres. One of the region’s highest areas is the Revolcadores (2,027 m).

    Culture – Following the tracks of bygone times

    Murcia was an important centre of trade in ancient times. After the Punics had conquered the territory – and founded the seaport town Cartagena – the region was the starting point for Hannibal’s campaign against the city of Rome. As part of his defeat, Murcia fell into Roman hands. There even was an independent kingdom of Murcia, which was founded by a Muslim ruler of the name Ibn Hud, in the 19 years from 1224 to 1243. Many of Murcia’s cities show tracks of these bygone eras. Remnants of the years of Moorish rule are, for example, several fortifications and the Roman era left many impressive sacred buildings. In the capital Murcia, which is a significant university town and Spain’s seventh biggest city, you see a Roman castle, the remains of an Arab castle and an impressive statue of Christ in Monteagudo. This town also accommodates a cathedral, the church San Nicolás de Bari and several museums (Museum of Fine Arts, Archaeological Museum, Museum of the Monastery Santa Clara la Real, Museum Salzillo). Another popular destination is the seaport town Cartagena, in which you can still see signs of the former Roman rule. Its main attraction are the town walls, the harbour, the Roman theatre as well as the Castillo de la Concepción (70 m above the city). The town Lorca with its magnificent Baroque buildings, the seaport town Águilas as well as Caravaca de la Cruz are also worth a visit. The latter is known as the Holy City of the Roman-Catholic Church, in which a holy year is celebrated every seven years.

    Experience – Relaxation, recreation and processions

    Murcia is very popular and known for its countless health and beauty services. Several beaches and the salt lagoon Mar Menor are true beauty and health resorts due to their high salt content. The region’s cuisine is characterised by vegetable stews, salads, rice and bean dishes as well as seafood. Most dishes are prepared following traditional recipes and using regional products from the fertile Huertas and the Mediterranean Sea. One speciality from Murcia is the pastel de carne murciano, a savoury puff pastry stuffed with tomatoes, green peppers, chorizo, ham and boiled eggs. In Murcia, as in any other Spanish region, the influence of the Catholic Church is especially noticeable. A special event is the “Semana Santa” (Holy Week), which has been taking place once a year since the 19th century. The great processions, in which thousands of people walk a certain path starting at a local church or cathedral, are a memorable spectacle. The greatest processions of all take place in Lorca. Other extraordinary events are the flamenco festival Cante de las Minas in La Unión and the Virgen del Carmen in San Pedro del Pinatar.

    Activities – A paradise for bathing, water sports and golfing

    Due to its location at the Mediterranean coast and the Costa Cálida, Murcia is the perfect destination for a holiday at the seaside and numerous water sports. Surfing, sailing, diving or kayaking are possible on the Mar Menor at any time of the year. Cyclists, on the other hand, can go on a tour around the salt lagoon. In addition, the range of golfing opportunities in the region is being increased constantly. Golfers can already pursue their hobby on ten courses between the cities Murcia and Cartagena.

    Information

    Many travellers consider the summer the best time for visiting Murcia. With temperatures of 35 °C outdoors and 24 °C in the water, this season is ideally suited for sun-worshippers. Holidaymakers who like it a bit cooler should travel Murcia in winter. Even at that time of the year the region has pleasantly mild temperatures. If you want to bathe in the sea, however, you have to brace yourself for water temperatures of 12 to 15 °C.

    Holidays in Murcia promise relaxation and recreation as well as cultural experience. For many travellers a journey to Murcia with its Mediterranean climate is the perfect way of escaping the cold and humid autumn or winter months in their homeland.

    When is the best time to visit Barcelona?

    Barcelona experiences comfortable weather all year round. To avoid crowds, it’s best to avoid traveling during the summer months and any period around major holidays. The first half of March, the month of May, and mid-September through October are the best times of the year for sightseeing in Barcelona, with thinner crowds, shorter lines, and warmer (but not too hot) weather.

    Gaudi’s Park Güell in Barcelona. The best times to go to Barcelona are late spring and early fall.

    • Best Time to Book Hotels for Barcelona: The Best Hotels in Barcelona and the Best Hotels in Barcelona for Families get booked early, especially for summer season travel. Reserve rooms at least 3 months in advance, if possible.
    • Best Time to Go to Barcelona for Sightseeing: The lines to enter the city’s most popular sights and attractions, like the Basilica de la Sagrada Família in central Barcelona, are at their longest in the summer and on Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter. As the weather is fairly comfortable year round, it’s best to avoid the summer months and any period around a major holiday. The first half of March, the month of May and mid-September through October, are arguably the best times of the year for sightseeing, with thinner crowds, shorter lines and warmer, but not too hot, weather. Visiting on a Tuesday or Wednesday can also help lessen the chance you’ll have to battle countless other tourists. Try to plan your sightseeing early in the day, starting with the most popular sight, for the best experience.
    • Best Time for Shopping: There are two periods each year that offer big sales, with the chance to find huge bargains that include discounts of as much as 70 percent off. The winter sales begin the week after the Festival of the Kings, or the second week of January, and typically run until the end of February, although there are no official sale dates. It kicks off with the first rebajas, or discounts, followed by bigger markdowns for the second rebajas, and finally remate, which marks the final clearance sales. The summer sales, which follows the same pattern, start during the first week of July and run through the end of August. In either period, the first rebajas is known for being quite frantic, particularly at El Corte Ingles (a major department store), which means you’ll need to be prepared to elbow your way through the crowds in order to get to the best bargains. If that doesn’t sound like something you want to endure, go either late in the first week or wait until the second week when you’ll still find a wide variety of items, but the crowds won’t be nearly as bad. Toward the end of the sales, there will be a noticeable reduction in what’s left.
    • Best Time for Beaches: Barcelona summers tend to be hot and humid, making it a perfect time for the beach, though not the best time to be wandering around the city. Of course, this also means practically everyone else is heading to the beaches too, so they can be very crowded – and, while the water is clear and the sand is clean in the morning, by the end of the day, both can get a bit littered. As the water temperature is most comfortable from swimming from around the end of May through mid- to late-September, your best bet for fewer crowds and optimal conditions can usually be found by going early or late in the season, in May or September.
    • Best Time for Festivals: If you’re hoping to attend one of the city’s big festivals, you’ll need to arrive sometime between late spring and early autumn, with the majority of Barcelona’s larger festivals taking place then, including the world’s biggest indie and alternative music festival, Primavera Sound, held in late May or early June. The nine-day Festa Mayor de Gracia is hosted in August, while the grandest fiesta of the year is the four-day Festes de la Merce in September, which honors the city’s patron with a run, harbor swimming race and all sorts of concerts, parades, Catalan dances and feasts. Of course, when major festivals are held, expect the crowds to be thick, though many feel that just makes it even more fun and exciting.
    • Best Time for an FC Barcelona Game: Barcelona hosts one of the best football teams in the world, FC Barcelona, and many feel a trip to the city wouldn’t be complete without visiting the team’s famous stadium. While tours are available, the best way to experience it is by catching a game. The schedule is set every year around mid-July, and matches usually start in late August and end in late May, with a winter break around the Christmas and New Year holidays. The best time to go, for those who also want to enjoy pleasant sightseeing and the beaches, is arguably in September or May, though you’ll have a good time during any month in between as well. Most matches are played around the weekends, so plan accordingly.

    Barcelona Travel Seasons

    • High Season (May to Early September): High season in Barcelona brings the hottest weather, the biggest crowds and the highest accommodation rates. July, and especially August, tend to be sweltering, and tourists spill out of every hotel, restaurant and attraction, with long lines just about everywhere. The advantages of traveling during this period are wonderfully long days, with the sun sticking around until around 9:30pm, and all of the attractions are sure to be open with the tourists out in full force. This is also the perfect time to head to Barcelona’s beautiful beaches and you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy major festivals like Musica als Parcs, which features free concerts between June and August in various open-air venues throughout the city. Book the Best Hotels in Barcelona and the Best Family Hotels in Barcelona well in advance.
    • Shoulder Season (Late March to April and Late September to October): The shoulder season can bring the best of both worlds, with a number of festivals held in the spring as well as the late summer/early autumn months, and crowds tend to be a bit thinner during this time as well, while the weather is often idyllic. Prices haven’t yet hit their peak in early spring, and they begin to drop again in September when kids are back in school and the crowds abate.
    • Low Season (November to Early March): During the low season, prices not only drop exponentially, especially for accommodation, but it’s a great time to enjoy Barcelona without having to wait in long lines or fight for personal space. The chillier temperatures and frequent drizzle means you won’t be spending much, if any, time on the beach, but you will find a more romantic atmosphere with the opportunity to share an umbrella and cozy up to the one you love. It’s also the perfect excuse for taking things at a slower pace, occasionally stopping into a charming café for café con leche or churros with hot chocolate, rather than rushing from sight to sight.

    Barcelona Weather by Month

    • Barcelona Weather in January: January is Barcelona’s coldest month, but if you live in a place that tends to get a lot of snow and frigid temperatures, it’s likely to feel rather mild. While temperatures can dip as low as 5°C, it rarely gets below freezing and there’s a good chance you’ll experience some relatively warm weather as the temperature this time of year can still exceed 16°C. The rainfall is also relatively low, with just 40mm falling over eight days, and when it does arrive it’s often light or in the form of drizzle. If you’re afraid you’ll miss the sun, consider that it still shines 50% of the time this month. Bring a winter coat and portable umbrella along with a light jacket or sweater for warmer days and you’ll be well prepared no matter what the weather brings. While days are shorter than during the summer months, the sun is up for approximately 10 hours each day this month, setting around 5:30pm on New Year’s Day, and a little after 6pm by January 31, providing plenty of time to enjoy outdoor attractions. (Average Max Temperature: 14°C. Average Precipitation: 40mm.)
    • Barcelona Weather in February: The weather in February varies greatly, from beautiful, sunny days to overcast and rainfall. Some mornings start out with sunshine, with rain arriving in the afternoon. With such variance, planning to dress in layers and bring a variety of clothing for cold weather as well as relatively comfortable sunny days. The average high temperature this month remains 14°C, though it can get warmer than that in the afternoon. Lows increase a degree too, to 6°C, while the rainfall lessens a bit to 41mm that comes down over five days in the form of mostly light rain, drizzle or thunderstorms. (Average Max Temperature: 14°C. Average Precipitation: 41mm.)
    • Barcelona Weather in March: While March is the coolest of the spring months, the average high creeps up to 16°C and overnight lows generally don’t dip below 8°C, making it a pleasant time to be in Barcelona. The days are longer too, with the sun sticking around until 7pm by mid-month, and after 8pm by the end of March as clocks move forward an hour. There isn’t much in the way of rainfall either, with just 33mm falling over four days, and you’ll enjoy more sunny and clear days as compared to the two previous months. You’re unlikely to need an umbrella, but it’s a good idea to bring a warm coat in case it gets chilly. (Average Max Temperature: 16°C. Average Precipitation: 33mm.)
    • Barcelona Weather in April: April is unofficially the start of summer, with high temperatures gradually rising throughout the month. While the average high is 18°C, temperatures occasionally exceed 21°C in the afternoon this month. Rainfall is an average of 37mm in April, commonly arriving in the form of drizzle, light rain or a short-lived thunderstorm. Visitors often start to enjoy the beaches this month, though with sea temperatures at an average of 14°C., it’s usually a bit too cold for a swim. You will likely need some summer gear like shorts, t-shirts, tank tops and sandals for warm afternoons, but you’ll probably also want some long pants and perhaps a sweater or two for cooler evenings. (Average Max Temperature: 18°C. Average Precipitation: 37mm.)
    • Barcelona Weather in May: May is a beautiful time to be in Barcelona, with average temperatures around 20°C, though highs reach 22°C, and occasionally even 25°C. The days are lengthening too, with sunset at just before 9pm early in the month, and by May 31, the sun stays up until 9:18pm. Precipitation increases a bit in May, with 54mm of rainfall over nine days, though it’s most likely to occur earlier in the month, and when it falls it’s in the form of light or moderate rain, drizzle or thunderstorms. If you visit this month, you may need the full gamut of clothing, other than a winter coat. Bring a light jacket and long pants to wear in the evening, along with shorts or dresses, sandals and a bathing suit to enjoy the mostly warm weather during the day. An umbrella is probably a good idea too, just in case. (Average Max Temperature: 22°C. Average Precipitation: 54mm.)
    • Barcelona Weather in June: In June, the warm weather has officially arrived, though the month isn’t as hot as it will be in July, and especially August. The average high temperature rises significantly from May, four degrees to 26°C, and occasionally it gets as hot as 28°C. Rain is minimal, if existent at all, and most likely early in the month. If you plan to visit in June, bring lightweight, summery clothing and beachwear, along with sun protection like a wide-brimmed hat and high SPF sunscreen. With overnight lows of 18°C, the evenings are pleasant, but if you chill easily you may want to bring a sweater and long pants. This month also brings the longest day of the year, with the sun setting at 9:30pm on June 30. (Average Max Temperature: 26°C. Average Precipitation: 11mm.)
    • Barcelona Weather in July: If you’re seeking sunshine and heat, July is a good time to come to Barcelona, bringing perfect weather for sunbathing and activities in the water, with sea temperatures at an average of 23°C. Sometimes the afternoons can exceed sizzling temperatures of 30°C, though the average high is 28°C. Rainfall is quite low, with just 25mm falling over two days in July, which means you may need to find relief from the intense sunshine in the shade, in addition to slathering on the sunscreen as the intense rays of the sun can be quite strong and cause a sunburn if you aren’t adequately protected. Plan to bring your light, summer clothing, including beachwear and look forward to spending time in the water, which is an average of 24°C this month. (Average Max Temperature: 28°C. Average Precipitation: 25mm. )
    • Barcelona Weather in August: August is Barcelona’s hottest month, with the average high rising to 29°C. Combined with high humidity, that temperature often feels much hotter than it is, and you’ll see many locals using fans to try and keep cool, while the beaches, parks and pools are packed with both locals and tourists alike. With the sun rising just before 7am and setting just after 9pm early in the month, you’ll have 14 hours of full sun, which means sunscreen is again an absolute must. As the month progresses, the days gradually become shorter, with the sun going down about 8:30pm on August 31. No matter when you arrive, plan to leave your umbrella behind as just 64mm of rain falls, and when it does, it brings a bit of cooling relief. Instead, as you would for July, pack lots of light summer wear, including a bathing suit. (Average Max Temperature: 29°C. Average Precipitation: 64mm.)
    • Barcelona Weather in September: The cooldown begins in September, making it a lot more pleasant to enjoy everything Barcelona has to offer. The average high temperature decreases three degrees to 26°C, with the warmest weather coming during the first half of the month. The weather can be a bit unpredictable now, with gorgeous beach weather one weekend and clouds or rain the next. Most of the time, you’ll be able to wear your typical summer gear, though you made need a couple of layers for when it cools off in the evening. Thunderstorms are more common in September, and the average amount of precipitation increases to about 75mm, falling over nine days, which means that bringing your portable umbrella is once again a good idea. (Average Max Temperature: 26°C. Average Precipitation: 75mm.)
    • Barcelona Weather in October: Fall is now in full swing, and October is an especially good time to visit Barcelona for those who like the sunshine but don’t want to experience summer’s intense heat or thick crowds. The days are typically still sunny and warm, though temperatures dip down to an average of around 21°C and rainfall increases slightly to 81mm falling over six days this month. As you’ll have a fair chance for rain and clouds, along with plenty of sunny days, you’ll need to bring sunscreen and short-sleeved shirts as well as a light coat and umbrella. The days get significantly shorter as the month progresses; while the sun goes down around 7:30pm on October 1, it sets just before 6pm by month’s end, due to the clocks changing backward an hour. (Average Max Temperature: 23°C. Average Precipitation: 81mm.)
    • Barcelona Weather in November: The city not only quiets down significantly in November, there is a noticeable chill in the air, with average low temperatures dropping to 8°C, and average highs decreasing from around 19°C to 15°C from the start to the end of the month. You’ll no longer need your beachwear, though you will need a good balance of lighter clothes for during the day along with evening layers. The amount of rainfall decreases slightly to 34mm coming down over four days, with your odds of experiencing wet weather highest earlier in the month. If you plan to come in early November, you may want to bring a raincoat along too. (Average Max Temperature: 18°C. Average Precipitation: 34mm.)
    • Barcelona Weather in December: December tends to bring sunny but chilly days, with average temperatures of 11°C, though it may get as warm as 14°C on some afternoons. Although people from northern countries with a cold winter climate may regard Barcelona’s winter temperatures as quite mild, the sea air can add to the chill factor, which means a warm coat and a few sweaters are essential, though you may want a light jacket and short-sleeved shirts for those warmer, sunny days. With average precipitation at 35mm, you’re unlikely to need an umbrella, but you might bring one just in case. (Average Max Temperature: 14°C. Average Precipitation: 35mm.)

    Barcelona Special Events and Festivals

    Barcelona in January

    • New Year’s Day – New Year’s Day is a national holiday, and most residents throughout the country will enjoy a day of rest and relaxation.

    • Three King’s Day – On January 5, parades are held throughout Spain for Three King’s Day, or Dia de los Reyes Magos, including in Barcelona. That evening, three “kings” arrive by boat.

    Barcelona in February

    • Carnival – Carnival in Barcelona, like it is everywhere else in the world, marks the start of Lent, 40 days before Easter, which in Spain is known as Semana Santa.

On Palm Sunday, palm leaves are blessed in the Basilica Sagrada Familia, and in the famous Gothic Cathedral of Barcelona, the celebration includes a hollowed-out eggshell known as l’ou com balla, which is placed on top of a fountain to bob around and “dance. ” During the Easter procession, you’ll see hundreds of people carrying statues of Maria and Jesus under the accompanied drum rolls and trumpet statues through Barcelona’s old town.

    WEATHER

    The average temperature in the country was 1.8 above the norm for the season, with some places seeing highs of more than 30ºC

    This past winter in Spain was the hottest the country has seen this century. The average temperature was 1.8 degrees Celsius above the norm for the season (the reference being the average temperature between 1981 and 2010), according to a report by the Aemet state meteorological service, which looked at the results from weather stations between December 1 and February 29.

    What’s more, the figures showed that this winter was the second-hottest since Aemet began keeping reliable records in 1965. The hottest winter in Spain was the season of 1989-1990.

    Last winter, the Tenerife Sur airfield saw the thermometer rise to 31.9ºC

    The report has confirmed that Spain is witnessing a trend that has been seen in many parts of the world: a rise in the number of record-breaking average temperatures. Experts attribute this phenomenon to climate change induced by human activity, which is causing a rise in greenhouse gas emissions.

    The Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, which oversees Aemet, reported on Wednesday that last December and January were the hottest on record at a global scale (equal to the records set in 2015 and 2016, respectively).

    Europe also saw one of its hottest winters since records began, with the average temperature 3.4°C above the average between 1981 and 2010. Indeed, last February was the second-warmest the world has ever seen.

    The problem, according to the experts, is not so much the record set last winter or in the past three months, but the fact that the record-breaking temperatures have become increasingly common during this century and decade.

    As well as the rise in average temperatures, some areas of Spain saw record-high maximum temperatures, according to the Aemet report. The airport in Spain’s eastern city of Valencia, for instance, recorded a temperature of 29.6ºC, while the Tenerife Sur airfield, in the Canary Islands, saw the thermometer rise to 31.9ºC. Spain also saw unprecedented lows. The exclave city of Melilla in North Africa, for example, recorded a tropical night with a low of 20.4ºC in the middle of winter.

    Saharan sandstorm

    In its winter report, Aemet also mentioned the Saharan sandstorm that affected Spain’s Canary Islands between February 22 and 24. The weather agency explained that, in the absence of confirmation from historic records, this sandstorm was the hardest to hit the archipelago since instruments have been available to measure contaminants in the atmosphere.

    Last winter, the Canary Islands were hit by a powerful sandstorm.Elvira Urquijo A. (EFE)

    “The episode consisted of three sandstorms that took place over three consecutive days,” the report explained. “What happened on February 23 was especially intense: there was a peak of above 3600 μg/m3 in PM10 [particulate matter with a diameter of 10 micrometers of less],” said the agency, which added this was 72 times the legal limit set to protect human health.

    Surfing in Spain: Surfing Spots

    1. Many surf schools in Spain teach in Spanish. And even if the school website is translated into English, this does not mean that the school has an English-speaking surf instructor. Specify this point in advance by writing or calling the surf school.
    2. There are more and more Russian surf instructors in Spain, but they tend to move from school to school. In this regard, if you need a Russian surf instructor, you need to discuss this with the school in advance and clarify that the Russian coach will definitely be at the school during your arrival.
    3. Do not be too lazy to read carefully what is included in the cost of the lesson. Sometimes the cost of the lesson may not include surfboard rental, sometimes there is no transfer to the beach and back.
    4. Surf schools in Spain are 100% busy during the summer and New Year’s, so don’t think you can find a surf school locally. Most likely, you will have to wait a few days until a place in the group becomes free, so book a surf school in Spain in advance, at least one and a half to two months in advance.
    5. The duration of training even in neighboring surf schools can vary significantly in the range from 2 to 4 hours. Pay attention to how many hours you pay for. Perhaps the school next door gives surf lessons for the same cost, but longer.

    Surf spots in Spain

    Where is surfing in Spain? This question is asked by many who have decided to combine a trip to Europe with surfing.

    The most popular surf areas in Spain are:

    • Canary Islands (Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura), more here,
    • northern Spain (regions of Cantabria, Asturias, Galicia, Basque country),
    • as well as the region of Andalusia in southern Spain.

    All these places in Spain provide great conditions for surfing almost all year round – only the height of the waves and the temperature of the air and water fluctuate.

    The warmest region is the Canary Islands, even in winter you can ski in comfortable conditions.

    The north of Spain is more suitable for surfing in the warm season – from late spring to early autumn.

    And in Andalusia, in the south of Spain, on the contrary, we recommend going in winter, because during this period there are the best waves.

    The article about surfing in the Canary Islands turned out to be voluminous, so we separated it into a separate article: about surfing in the Canary Islands.

    Read about north and south below.

    Leave a request and we will call you back in 7 minutes

    Surfing in the north of Spain

    The north of Spain offers some of the best waves in Europe all year round. Here you will find both small waves for learning to surf, as well as large barrels and pipes for those who have been surfing for a long time and confidently. The most famous surf regions are the Basque Country with the famous city of San Sebastian and the Asturias region, where many surf schools and surf camps are concentrated. But few people know that if you drive a little further south, the waves only get better, for example, in the regions of Galicia or Andalusia.

    A feature of surf schools in the north of Spain is that not all schools teach in English, some teach exclusively in Spanish, so if Spanish is not your forte, check the language of surfing in advance.

    So let’s take a closer look at surfing in northern Spain.

    Basque Country

    The Basque Country is a region in northern Spain bordering France. The most famous place for surfing in this region is San Sebastian. Less known, but no worse for surfers, are the cities of Mundaka, Saraus, Sumaya, Lekeito, Bakio. In total, there are about 30 different surf spots in the Basque Country. All beaches are washed by the Bay of Biscay. The most popular time for surfing in the Basque country lasts from May to October, because at this time the highest water temperatures (18 degrees) and air (25 degrees) are kept. However, it is better for intermediate surfers to avoid coming here in July or early August, because at this time there are the smallest waves, and sometimes there are days with absolutely no waves. The strongest waves in the warm period come here in April-May and September-October. For example, in Mundaka in October, you can see a significant influx of surf tourists due to the fact that a super-long left wave with a length of up to 400 meters appears on the local beach. The stages of world-class surfing competitions are also held here.

    A pleasant addition to good surfing conditions in the Basque Country is the presence of a large number of interesting sights and chic local cuisine. Therefore, even if you decide to take a day off from surfing, you definitely will not be bored.

    Asturias and Cantabria

    We will consider these regions of Spain together, since they are geographical neighbors and the conditions for surfing in them are very similar. Asturias, or as many people say, Asturias, is probably the second most famous region among surfers in Spain. The most popular surf areas in Asturias are: Salinas and Gijón. In Cantabria, the most popular areas for surfers are Santander and San Vincente de la Barquera.

    Here you will find a large selection of surf schools and surf camps. Most of the surf schools here work only in the summer, since it is from May to September that the temperature is comfortable for skiing. Surf camps offer accommodation not only in tents on campsites, as is customary in the north of Spain in the summer, but also in apartments near the surf school (mainly in big cities, such as Santander).

    The regions of Asturias and Cantabria are washed by the Bay of Biscay, and not by the Atlantic Ocean, like neighboring Galicia, in this regard, in Asturias and Cantabria there are “interruptions” with waves in the summer. July and August are the most unstable months for surfing here. The rest of the time there are always waves here. Asturias is famous for its “smooth” waves, not without reason, longboard competitions are held in Salinas every summer. The air temperature in the summer months in Asturias and Cantabria is about 25 degrees, water – 20 degrees. In summer, the water here is warmer than in neighboring Galicia, but the waves are less stable.

    Galicia

    Galicia is a region of small towns and villages along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. There are fairly large cities with a great history, such as Santiago de Compostela, La Coruña, Ferrol. But surfers come here far from visiting museums. From May to October, the high season for surfing is here – at this time the water is already quite warm (about 15 degrees) and the air temperature is high (from 20 degrees and above depending on the month, in August the air temperature warms up to 30 degrees), which makes surfing in Galicia especially pleasant. Waves in summer reach up to 3 meters, in winter – up to 5 meters, but the air temperature in winter is quite low (12 degrees), which makes Galicia not so attractive for surfers in winter. In any case, the waves for surfing in Galicia really are all year round, so you can go surfing here at any time of the year.

    Galicia has a lot of independent surfers and not very many surf schools, which makes line-ups not as busy as in areas where surf schools are common.

    Surfing in Galicia is attractive because surfing conditions change along the entire coast, and if it happens that waves do not enter one of the spots, then after driving 15 minutes by car, you will definitely find a good wave for yourself. Or, if the waves are too big, then you can always find spots with less difficult waves. The most popular surf areas are: Valdovino, Doninos, O Freixo, A Coruna. There are a lot of surf spots in these areas, so you can’t go wrong if you choose one of them for your surf trip to the north of Spain.

    If you are going to learn to surf in Galicia, be aware that most surf schools offer their clients camping accommodation, where you can choose between a tent or a cabin. If you are an experienced surfer, then we recommend renting a minivan to ride all the surf spots in Galicia. Near many spots there are convenient parking lots where you can spend the night waiting for the perfect waves at dawn. In Galicia, there are a lot of independent surfers who spend the night in minivans, so you will definitely not be alone.

    Surfing in the south of Spain

    Andalusia

    In Andalusia, the main places for surfing are located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean between the cities of Cadiz and Tarifa. Surfing in Andalusia is best suited for those who are just learning how to surf, as there are almost no big waves in this region of Spain.

    The main surfing season starts here in October and lasts until about the end of April. At this time, waves are very stable on the southern coast of Spain and there are good conditions for surfing almost every day. In the summer months, the likelihood of waves in Andalusia is significantly reduced, so if your main goal is to learn how to surf, then it is better to go to Andalusia from autumn to spring. Even in the coldest months (January and February), the temperature of air and water is not lower than 16 degrees, so if you have the right equipment, surfing in Andalusia will be comfortable. The main surfing beaches here are sandy, so learning to surf in Andalusia will be comfortable.

    By the way, Andalusia is ideal for those who want not only to surf, but also to have a good time visiting local attractions, which are enough here. Most likely, you will have to forget about a beach holiday (it is possible only in early October), because due to the winds that rise in October, it will be quite cool to sunbathe here. But if the main purpose of your trip is to learn how to surf, then you will definitely enjoy a trip to Andalusia.

    In January

    By the standards of the local population, there is nothing to do in the sea – the water varies from +16 °C in Alexandria to +22 °C in the south and east of the country. Well, it’s cold for the Egyptians, but for seasoned Russian tourists it’s the most. Especially if you arrived from frosty Moscow to sunny Sharm el-Sheikh or Taba, where during the day it is about +25 °C, and at night it is not lower than +18 °C. It’s good in Aswan at this time: you can see a lot of antiquities, the weather is dry – it doesn’t rain here at all, it’s warm – up to +25 ° C, the air humidity is quite high, so Aswan is an ideal place in the dry winter months. They say that local dates are the best in the world. In Aswan, according to gourmets, they catch the most delicious Egyptian fish. What winter Egypt is especially good for is big discounts on tours to popular hotels.

    In February

    The coldest and most unpleasant month of the year. Weather forecast in Egypt for February: temperature up to +20 ° C degrees, cool water. Europeans have their own view of the problem: the prices are the most suitable, and in hotels the water in the pool is heated. In the Mediterranean, the water is cold – about +10 °C, and you can swim in the Red Sea – +20 °C. Dahab, Nuweiba, Taba, El Quseir, Sharm el-Sheikh – this is where you can relax at +25 ° C. By the way, the water temperature is the same as on the Abkhazian coast in September – almost a velvet season.

    In March

    Unfavorable month for Egyptian travel: although the air temperature rises to 25 … 27 ° C, the water heats up for a long time, and the sharp winter winds are accompanied by a dry and hot wind – khamsin – causing sandstorms. It is sometimes hard for tourists who find themselves at this time on the pyramids. On the coast of the Red Sea, in the same Taba, for example, just expanse: the water warms up to +24 ° C, and the mountains do not let the khamsin. And the most popular resort in Egypt – Hurghada – is also attractive right now. It’s +25°C there.

    In April

    A month for those who want to bask in the Egyptian sun and do not think about saving. Thirty-degree heat during the day, about +18 °C at night in resort towns, in Alexandria – in the “north” of Egypt – already up to +23 °C and water – almost +20 °C. There are a lot of people, so there are no discounts. But you can enjoy any fruit: from oranges with apples to exotic guava and dates. The green melon is interesting – small, but sweet, it just ripens at this time.

    In May

    the Mediterranean warms up quite well, and now tours to the resorts of Spain, Portugal, Greece are well worth it. And in Egypt, everything is much cheaper, although the prices themselves have not become lower than in April. Water temperature – +26 °C, air – over +30 °C, at night +25 °C. This is a real paradise, especially in El Arish: a mild Mediterranean climate, rain and greenery, date palms and white sand beaches.

    In June

    The hottest time of the year begins. Those who go to Egypt to lie in the sun, go diving, will get their kicks one hundred percent. A light breeze blows from the sea, not allowing stuffiness to set in, therefore + 30 … 35 ° С is quite comfortable and easily experienced here. Lovers of antiquities were late: under the scorching sun up to +40, you can’t see enough of the local delights of archeology. In the north – in Alexandria – already +28 ° C during the day and +29° C at night, and on the Red Sea – +35 ° C, at night – + 25 … 27 ° С, and the same water.

    In July

    The hottest month of the summer. Oddly enough, lovers of Egyptian beauties from Russia go there, although in the Moscow region in July it is no worse. Of course, we do not have such a transparent sea and white sand. In the desert up to +50 °C! But we don’t need to go to the desert right now. The best option for those who want to enjoy peace and relative loneliness is a small, but already very strongly developing tourism industry of Marsa Alam. It is located on the Red Sea, 250 km from Hurghada, has its own international airport. The sun literally shines all year round (6-7 cloudy days do not count), and for diving enthusiasts this place is a paradise under water.

    In August

    In principle, it is no different from July. The heat is forty degrees, in the water – + 27 … 30 ° С. It’s fun to swim in waves that are almost body temperature! Therefore, the Egyptians monitor the air conditioning in hotels – so as not to lose customers. At this time, it is best to relax in Alexandria: the climate is mild, and the atmosphere is reminiscent of Europe. In the restaurants of the city, both decent alcohol and European dishes can be ordered without problems. Another place for an August holiday is Port Said. In the summer it is good here, and because it is a free economic zone, excellent shopping is guaranteed. From September it gets colder (by local standards) up to +20-18, sometimes it rains.

    In September

    This month is one of the best for Egyptian holidays. Let the temperature be over +30 °C, and at night about +26 °C, a light pleasant breeze blows from the sea, water – +26 … 28 °C. The season called “velvet”. It is now good in Giza: Cairo is nearby, and you can relax, and it is interesting to see the pyramids at this time – the heat does not tire. The fruits of the cactus tin shawki are just about to ripen. And the soup is good from the local herb molochei, which can be found on the market, it is very good for the stomach.

    In October

    The weather in Egypt is wonderful in October. The mild climate, night and day air temperatures and water are approximately the same, and tourists who love to roast in the sun have gone home, having received their share of summer solar radiation. There are no discounts in hotels, but more spacious on the beaches. It’s time, after swimming, to go on excursions to the desert, to Luxor for example. It is about 60 kilometers from Cairo. There are more ancient monuments per square kilometer than in the rest of Egypt, but the climate is not very good: desert heat in summer, up to + 45 …

    In November

    Daytime weather in Egypt in November is still wonderful – around +30 ° C, but gradually it becomes colder in the evening. At night, the thermometer can show only +15 ° C. The water has not cooled down: up to +26 ° C in the Red Sea and + 23 ° C in the Mediterranean. Although at the end of the month an unpleasant wind begins. True, it is not on the coast of the Red Sea, more and more it blows from the desert. At this time, it is good in Safaga: a balneological resort, mud baths, springs, a warm sea and mountains that protect from the winds and sand of the deserts. Grapefruits and pomegranates (for lovers of Egyptian fruits) ripen in November.

    In December

    Egyptians in recent years call it the “Russian season”: sea water + 20 … In the sea – seasoned Russians. If it were not for the cold nights and harsh winds, the weather in Egypt would have been ideal for us. There are many tourists. Europeans go to Egypt for Catholic Christmas, and the Slavs celebrate the New Year and Orthodox Christmas cheerfully, so you need to look for a hotel in advance.

    Where to go in February | TASS TRAVEL — Modern Service Travel Agency

    Alexey Shumilovsky

    February is the coldest month of winter, and many would probably like to leave for this time in some warm country. We’ll show you where to go.

    Thailand

    Imagine dancing all through December and January, and now you’re taking a breath in a cool room: in February, the waves of tourists recede from Thai beaches. On the islands of Phuket, Krabi, Koh Chang, the weather is great. Cambodia is very close – so you can swim and visit Angkor Wat.

    Vietnam

    February is the perfect time to visit Vietnam. Fill up your motorbike and head north – the air is cool and dry almost everywhere except the north coast, where it’s rainy. A chilly wind rolls on the beaches from Nha Trang to Vung Tau, you can swim on the island of Phu Quoc.

    India

    February is a good month not only for the beaches of Goa, but also for the tea plantations of Darjeeling or the streets of Delhi – the heat is not terrible yet. A real traveler will go to neighboring Nepal to see the mountains. But keep in mind that it will be cold in the evenings.

    Sri Lanka

    In February, the winds and waves stop shaking the island. You can move from the beaches deep into Sri Lanka – the most interesting is located not on the coast, but in the center. Ceylon is not as confusing and colorful as India – people come here for meditation and a cup of hot tea.

    Maldives

    If you were looking for white sand and silence, then stop – your search is over. In February, the wind barely touches the clear water, palm trees and clear skies over the Maldivian atolls, but the escape from the world is not cheap. And remember that atolls are not a tribe of Indians, but small coral islands in the ocean.

    Malaysia

    When we talk about February in Malaysia, we are referring to the islands off the west coast, such as Lankgavi and Penang. This is a good, quiet time after the Christmas holidays and before the rainy season. If the Malay cities are Asian labyrinths, then the islands are jungles with ridges of suspension bridges.

    Philippines

    February is a mild time in the capricious Philippines, when, in theory, there are no typhoons and relatively cool. Seven thousand Philippine islands differ from Malaysia in less exotic. Here, rice and vegetables are served in an eatery where American rock is howling in speakers.

    Caribbean

    The rhythm of February is suitable for the shores of Punta Cana, if you want to look into space, basking in the sun. In this barely pulsing life, you will either dissolve or get bored.

    Where not to go in February

    London and Paris are gray and overcast. Although if you are going to celebrate Valentine’s Day, the rain will not stop you.

    In Brazil is a carnival in Rio, Salvador, Sao Paulo, Ricife, but at the same time it is the hottest, cloudiest and most crowded time. It is better to look here after the holidays.

    In Indonesia, including Bali – the rainy season. Seychelles, Madagascar, Mauritius – the same picture.

    It is cold in China , but they celebrate the New Year here, like in other countries of Southeast Asia.

    Emirates – not recommended, the weather is too capricious, and the February sales are a highly hyped myth.

    Ski resorts in France, Austria and Switzerland are overloaded – it is better to go skiing in Slovenia or Bulgaria.

    Mediterranean very little sun and dreary. However, this does not apply to the final days of the carnival in Venice. You need the sea – go to the south of Portugal, it’s already spring there.

    Morocco can only be visited for the sake of the Sahara, which is relatively cool.

    South Africa very hot and no rain. Let’s be clear: this is bad. But in Cape Town the weather is fine.

Natalia talks about her love for Alex, she hopes that he will soon propose to her. Asuna believes that her sister confessed her harpaxophilia to her boyfriend in vain. And this is not the only oddity of the girl. Both sisters occasionally indulge in dendrophilia (a sexual attraction to trees), but Asuna only initiated her husband into it a year ago. The older sister does not believe that Alex will propose to Natalya, it seems to her that he is a womanizer. The men return. The company drinks wine, snacks.

But the husband does not intend to indulge in love at this moment.

    During another operation, Maite tells Jose Luis that she kicked her daughter out of the house, she went to live with a friend. José Luis consoles a colleague, says that the wishes of others must be respected. Jose Luis himself is enjoying the fact that he has found a way to satisfy his sexual needs.

Then the guest and the girl go to take a nap. Ana admits to her husband that Belen turns her on. She talks about the kiss at the club that drove her crazy. Paco is upset: his wife is a lesbian. Perhaps that is why they had problems with sex.

    Natalia and Alex are celebrating their first anniversary. Alex asks why Natalya doesn’t pass gases in front of him. It seems to him that this is a sign of complete trust between loving partners.

In an underground parking lot, a couple is attacked by two robbers. One hits Alex on the head, the other grabs Natalya, she is excited. It’s actually staged. Alex is ready to replace the “rapist”, but the girl resists. She pushes the guy who attacked from behind, Alex falls and gets seriously injured.

    Sandra is on the subway. Her attention is drawn to the silk shirt of one of the passengers. The girl struggles with temptation, but then she still comes up to the man and wrinkles his shirt collar with her fingers. Sandra jumps out of the car, she experiences the strongest orgasm. Meanwhile, at the station, Antonio puts up flyers for a missing dog. Maria Candelaria does pedicures and manicures in the salon, although she was also supposed to put up ads. In the evening, the couple quarrel, Antonio believes that his wife has been acting strange lately. Maria lies to her husband that she has been diagnosed with cancer. Antonio cries, the couple have sex. At the sight of her husband’s tears, Maria Candelaria experiences an orgasm. Paco comes to Belen’s sex club. He asks her to sleep with Ana so that she decides on her sexual orientation. Paloma finds accounts of her husband, who secretly bought erotic toys and women’s underwear. Wife wants to know with whom José Luis is cheating on her. But he admits that the only woman he wants is Paloma herself. Jose Luis still loves her, but she constantly humiliated him, and Paloma, who is fast asleep, allows herself to be kissed. For the first time in a long time, the couple make love when the wife is awake.

    Maria Candelaria informs Antonio that she has no cancer and is pregnant. Natalia is in the hospital room with Alex, the guy’s nose is broken. Alex confesses that he hired actors from drama school. Natalya, in response, reveals all her secrets: in the female line, everyone in their family had oddities. Grandmother was attracted to the disabled, she and her sister suffer from dendrophilia. In the parking lot, Natalya experienced a strong orgasm caused by her harpaxophilia. Alex is pleased that his idea is still a success. He gives the girl a ring and asks her to marry him. Belen starts erotic games with Ana, later Paco joins them. This is called polyamory – sex between two or more people.

    Sandra serves as a sign language interpreter. She helps a deaf guy use a phone sex service. The communication session is not going well, the lady providing these services has something burning on the stove, and, without interrupting the conversation, she plucks her mustache.

It is difficult for the girl to explain that she now has a not quite ordinary family. José Luis and Paloma also attend this celebration. The lady’s wheelchair is lucky for Laura, the girl now has big breasts.

    Globally, February 2021 was close to the 1991-2020 average (0.26°C warmer than the 1981-2010 average) but with the coldest anomaly for almost six years. Conditions were much colder than its 1991-2020 average over much of Russia and North America, but much warmer than average over parts of the Arctic and in a band stretching eastward from north-western Africa and southern Europe to China. Temperature for Europe as a whole, for February 2021, was also close to the 1991-2020 average, though parts of Europe saw considerable variation in temperatures during the month.

      February 2021 was substantially warmer than the 1991-2020 average over southern Europe but colder than average in the north, especially over north-western Russia. Svalbard, in the far north, was an exception. Temperatures over parts of Europe varied substantially during the month, however, as the prevailing atmospheric circulation pattern changed. Records for daily maximum temperature were broken at numerous observing stations in France. Germany experienced a record swing from cold to warm weather, and although parts of Norway experienced their lowest February-average temperatures since 2010, record high temperatures were recorded in places late in the month. Conversely, warm conditions were followed by cold in Greece and other countries in south-eastern Europe.

      Temperatures differed quite substantially from average values over much of the extratropical Northern Hemisphere. Particularly cold conditions were experienced in  northern Europe and over much of Siberia. A second unusually cold region extended from the far east of Russia, across Alaska and western Canada and reached as far south in the central USA as Texas, where major disruption was widely reported. In contrast, conditions were mild over the north-east of Canada, Greenland, and the Arctic Ocean and coastal seas eastward from Greenland to eastern Siberia. Temperatures were also well above the 1991-2020 average for February in a band that included north-western Africa, the Middle East, central Asia and China.

      Further south, temperatures were a little below average over eastern parts of northern Africa, and over India and South-East Asia. They were much lower than average over most land areas in the Southern Hemisphere. Exceptions were the warm conditions experienced over the far south of South America, Angola and the Congo Basin, and Queensland in Australia.

      Air temperatures were below average over most of the tropical and sub-tropical eastern Pacific Ocean, where the latest La Niña event continued to weaken. They were well above average over regions to the north and south. Other oceanic regions of the Northern Hemisphere were mainly warmer than average. Conditions were more mixed over the oceans of the Southern Hemisphere.

        The global-mean temperature for February 2021 was a little above the climatological average for 1991-2020, but less extreme than for any month since April 2015. The month was:

        • 0.06°C warmer than the 1991-2020 average for February 
        • more than 0.6°C cooler than February 2016, the most anomalously warm month on record
        • more than 0.5°C cooler than February 2020, the second warmest February,
        • between 0.2°C and 0.5°C cooler than the Februaries of 2017, 2018 and 2019, and cooler than several other Februaries in the record.

        European-average temperature anomalies are generally larger and more variable than global anomalies, but have been quite small for the past two months. The European-average temperature for February 2021 was within 0.2°C of the 1991-2020 average, as was also the case in January 2021.

          Boreal winter temperatures in 2020/21 to a large extent mirror those discussed above for the month of February. In particular, seasonal average temperatures were most above their 1991-2020 average over north-east Canada, Greenland, the Arctic Ocean and coastal seas eastward from Greenland. Temperatures were also relatively warm over south-eastern Europe and most of the Middle East, northern and central Africa, central Asia and China.

          In marked contrast to 2019/20, it was much colder than average over European Russia and most of Siberia. Other regions where the seasonal-average temperature was below the 1991-2020 reference level include much of the USA, Australia and Antarctica , and parts of South America, southern and eastern Africa, and South-East Asia.

          Air temperatures were below average over most of the tropical and sub-tropical eastern Pacific Ocean, though well above average over regions to the north and south. Most other oceanic regions of the Northern Hemisphere were warmer than average. Conditions were more mixed over the oceans of the Southern Hemisphere.

            The average December-February temperature for Europe was 0.6°C above the 1991-2020 average for the season. This is 2.3°C lower than the corresponding value for 2019/20, the warmest winter average on record. Winter 2020/21 was similar in average European temperature to the winters of 2017/18 and 2018/19, but nine of the earlier winters since 1979/1980 were warmer.

                Averaging over twelve-month periods smooths out shorter-term variations in regional- and global-average temperatures. Globally, the twelve-month period to February 2021 was 0.36°C warmer than the 1991-2020 average. This twelve-month average is  0.1°C below the averages for the twelve-month periods ending in September 2016 and May 2020, the two warmest such periods in this data record. The warmest calendar year is 2016, with a temperature 0.44°C above the 1991-2020 average. 2020 was on a par with 2016, being cooler by less than 0.01°C, well below the spread among multiple datasets. The third warmest calendar year is 2019; its temperature was 0.40°C above average.

                0.82°C should be added to the value relative to the 1991-2020 reference period to relate recent global temperatures to the pre-industrial level defined in the IPCC Special Report on “Global Warming of 1.5°C”. The average temperature for the twelve months to February 2021 is about 1.2°C above that level. 

                There is more variability in average European temperatures, but values are more certain due to the relatively dense observational coverage of the continent. The average for the twelve-month period to February 2021 is about 0.7°C above the 1991-2020 average. 2020 is the warmest calendar year on record for Europe by a clear margin, with a temperature 1.2°C above the 1991-2020 average. 

                Note on global values from ERA5 and other temperature datasets

                The spread in global averages from various temperature datasets has been reported previously to have been relatively large over recent years. An updated version of the dataset principally responsible for this spread was released in mid-December 2020. This version agrees much better with other datasets for the latest few years. 
                There is general agreement among datasets that the period from 2015 to 2020 is much warmer globally than any previous such period. There is also agreement that   the global temperature has risen at an average rate close to 0.2°C per decade since the late 1970s. There is nevertheless still some spread between the datasets for recent years and the annual average temperature anomalies for these years from ERA5 are generally higher than those from the five other datasets considered. The differences range from 0.02 to 0.08°C for 2016-2020. The range is 0.00 to 0.07°C if air temperature over sea is replaced by sea-surface temperature for ERA5 and the other dataset for which sea-surface temperature was not used by design. The remaining differences depend partly on the extent to which datasets represent the relatively warm conditions that have predominated over the Arctic and Antarctic during these years. Differences elsewhere in estimates of sea-surface temperature and surface air temperature over land have been further factors.
                 

                The average surface air temperature analysis homepage explains more about the production and reliability of the values presented here, but has yet to be updated to include the new information on dataset spread mentioned above.

                Second Warmest February on Record Globally

                Above: Departures from average temperature across the globe for the period from December 2019 through February 2020 (northern meteorological winter), in degrees Celsius. (NOAA/NCEI)

                Research groups across the world concur that this past northern winter (December-February) was the second-warmest on record globally, in records going back more than a century. The latest group to confirm this finding is NOAA, in its monthly State of the Climate report issued Friday.

                The winter result was a product of the second-warmest December, warmest January, and second-warmest February in the NOAA analysis, which extends back to 1880. For those three months combined, the global temperature was 1.12°C (2.02°F) above the 20th-century average. This reading is just 0.06°C (0.1°F) behind the record set in 2015-16.

                The global warmth of the past few months is especially striking given the lack of an El Niño event, which raises global air temperatures by releasing heat stored in the tropical Pacific Ocean.

                Global temperatures in the record-warm winter of 2015-16 were boosted by very strong El Niño conditions. In contrast, there was no El Niño event this past winter, although temperatures in the central tropical Pacific were unusually warm.

                Like NOAA, NASA also ranked the winter as the planet’s second-warmest on record. In the NASA database, December and February were the second-warmest on record, just behind 2015-16, while January 2020 tied with January 2016 as the warmest on record.

                The Japan Meteorological Agency had not yet released its temperature calculations for February.

                Not only was last month the planet’s second warmest February—it was the third warmest of any month in terms of departure from average, coming in 1.17°C (2.11°F) above the 20th-century average. The only higher departures on record were in February and March 2016, during the extreme El Niño event noted above.

                Europe’s bizarre winter warmth

                The most spectacular warmth throughout winter 2019-20 was across Europe and the western two-thirds of Russia. The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) estimated that temperatures across Europe were 1.4°C (2.5°F) above the previous winter record (2015-16). The center’s data go back to 1979, but when comparing the data with other sources, C3S also said this was the warmest European winter going back to at least 1850.

                The center’s data go back to 1979, but when comparing the data with other sources, C3S also said this was the warmest European winter going back to at least 1850.

                The Copernicus margin of 2.5°F is phenomenally large for setting a season-long, continental-scale record. Keep in mind that the normal ups and downs of daily temperature tend to act as a buffer on any major departures from average.

                It was the warmest winter on record in Russia, dating to 1891, according to a report issued last Thursday from the Hydrometcenter of Russia. Parts of western and central Russia were 10-14°F warmer than average from December through February.

                The HoR report said Moscow’s winter temperature, averaged from December through February, was above freezing for the first time on record.

                It was also a record-warm winter in Finland, where no measurable snow was recorded from January through February in the capital, Helsinki, for the first time on record.

                For the first time, the Scandinavian capitals outside of Iceland—Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo, and Stockholm—all got above freezing on every day in January, reported Mika Rantanen (Finnish Meteorological Institute). All-time record highs for February were shattered in at least nine European countries in the last week of the month, as documented by Rantanen.

                For much more detail on the standout global and regional climate events for February, see the new post from Dr. Jeff Masters at his “Eye of the Storm” blog (ScientificAmerican.com).

                What caused the warmth?

                Long-term climate change is boosting winter temperatures across the world. In the NOAA database, the warmest five December-to-February periods have all occurred in the last six years.

                Another factor involved this winter: an exceptionally strong positive phase of the Arctic Oscillation. The AO is an index of pressure differences between the northern subtropics and polar regions. When the AO is high, a strong pressure difference leads to a powerful west-to-east jet stream that can block frigid air masses from cruising southward to lower latitudes.

                In records dating back to 1950, the AO hit an all-time high in early February and an even higher level later in the month.

                The consistently high AO kept the hemisphere’s cold air bottled up in the far north, mainly across Alaska and the Arctic Ocean. Alaska had its coldest winter in 21 years, according to NOAA. Fairbanks remained below freezing for the entire climatological winter (December-February), also for the first time in 21 years.

                More warming on the way

                The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reported this month that 2019 saw the second-warmest atmosphere and the warmest oceans on record globally. The last five years (2015-19) and the last 10 years (2010-19) were both the warmest on record, said the WMO.

                Each decade since the 1980s has been warmer than the prior decade.

                The global temperature in 2019 was about 1.9 degrees above the estimated levels that prevailed in the mid-1800s, before widespread use of fossil fuels began to boost the amount of heat-trapping greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

                “Given that greenhouse gas levels continue to increase, the warming will continue,” said UN Secretary-General and WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas in a news release on Tuesday.

                Taalas cited the latest decadal forecast from the UK Met Office, which predicts that a new annual global air temperature record is likely in the next five years.

                • Weather in Eu in December

                Where does this data come from?

                Weather data for Eu 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.

                The best time to visit Italy is during spring and fall, when temperatures are comfortable and there are fewer crowds. The scenery is vibrant, prices are lower, and the weather is ideal for exploring all the country has to offer.

                Spring

                Temperatures start to warm up in spring, going from the mid-fifties to mid-seventies, although it’s still advisable to wear layers in case of colder spells. It gets busier around Easter, with prices rising accordingly. Shops will close on Easter Sunday (Pasqua) and Easter Monday (Pasquetta).

                Summer

                The summer months, July and August in particular, see higher temperatures — normally around 81°F, but they often reach over 88°F at the height of the day. Visitor numbers reach their peak at this time. It’s worth noting that many Italians take the whole month of August off and escape the humidity, with lots of businesses closing during this time. However, this does mean the cities are much quieter, so you still have the chance to explore if you can cope with the heat.

                Fall

                Temperatures cool down gradually, so September is still very pleasant, with an average of around 77°F. Expect crisp fall leaves and some sunnier days, but plan for wet weather too. Some attractions introduce shorter winter hours from October, so be mindful of this when booking.

                Winter

                Temperatures in the south remain mild in winter. However, northern Italy is normally wet and cold, and it’s not unusual for snow to fall, especially in the mountains.

                I really like Italy in June, just before the summer revelers arrive and when the sun is more likely to make a prolonged appearance. Tuscany really comes to life in June, the olive trees, wildflowers and poppies are in full bloom and the air is thick with lavender. The weather is just starting to heat up properly, casting an ethereal morning sunlight across the Tuscan hills as you drive along the winding roads lined with cypress and pine trees. Plan your trip early and you can witness the most famous bareback horse race in Italy at the Palio in Siena, held in July and August.

                Visiting Italy in January

                The milder Mediterranean winters make Italy’s cities an option for travel throughout January. Visitors are rewarded with quieter sights and far fewer tourists if they are willing to brave the cooler conditions.

                Days can be cold and clear or wet and windy, with snow falling in mountain areas.

                Average temperatures:

                • 25-45°F in the north
                • 40-55°F in central Italy
                • 50-60°F in the south

                As it’s very much the off-season, some attractions will be closed or offer limited visiting hours, so it’s best to look this up in advance. Much of the Amalfi Coast, for instance, only gears up for visitors in the summer months, and most Tuscan properties are shut over the winter.

                Events & Festivals

                • The main celebration is a holiday called Epiphany, on January 6. It is the end of the Christmas season when Italians give each other presents and children hope a witch called La Befana will leave gifts in their stockings.

                Visiting Italy in February

                Prices tend to be cheaper in February, outside of carnival dates. Like January, visitors should be prepared for reduced opening hours and limited access to attractions in some areas, but you’ll benefit from much smaller crowds.

                Average temperatures:

                • 39-46°F in the north
                • 39-55°F in central Italy
                • 48-55°F in the south

                The amount of rain you can expect depends on the region you visit. There is less rainfall in north Italy in February but it increases in the south, although temperatures there are warmer. You may even be lucky enough to experience some sunny spells.

                Events & Festivals

                • In the south, in Sicily, the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento hosts an annual almond blossom festival with parades, shows and craft exhibits. The first of the almond blossom is celebrated as a welcome precursor to spring.
                • Even the cold weather in the north can’t dissuade Italians from a party. The highlight of the month is Carnevale, celebrated across the country at the beginning of Lent with vibrant pageants, masquerades and confetti. The most well-known celebration is the Venice Carnival, a two-week spectacle of masks, fancy dress and spirited parties that see throngs of costumed people pack the famous St Mark’s Square.

                Visiting Italy in March

                The weather in March can remain mixed and unpredictable, with spells of sunshine and rain. The beginning of the month can be colder, but as the official start of spring approaches on March 21, the country really starts to come alive and temperatures begin to rise.

                Average temperatures:

                • 34-56°F in the north
                • 43-59°F in central Italy
                • 52-59°F in the south

                It still rains frequently in the north, but you are still likely to see some sunny days. The chance of snowfall decreases and temperatures rise throughout the month.

                The likelihood of sunshine in central Italy increases as the month goes on, while the weather in the south is mild and pleasant. March is a great time to explore regions like Puglia and Sicily.

                Events & Festivals

                • On March 9 devout Roman motorists have their cars and mopeds blessed at the church of Santa Francesca.
                • Easter week in Rome is marked with a number of events led by the Pope, including a Palm Sunday Mass in St Peter’s Square and the Settimana Santa procession of the stations of the cross at the Colosseum, both of which attract large numbers of visitors.
                • Most other towns and cities host their own Holy Week celebrations with various processions and services.
                • The Rome Marathon is held on the third Sunday of March.

                Visiting Italy in April

                April is a wonderful time to visit Italy. Temperatures are pleasant and comfortable, with wildflowers blooming across the countryside. Everything is now open for business after the winter months, and regular ferries and hiking trails along the Cinque Terre and Ligurian Coast start to pick up business.

                There can be the odd shower, and temperatures are likely to be cooler and more changeable in the north, however, this shouldn’t dissuade you. Chances are you will need to pack both sunglasses and a rain jacket, no matter where you decide to go.

                Average temperatures:

                • 40-62°F in the north
                • 47-63°F in central Italy
                • 53-64°F in the south

                Events & Festivals

                • Easter week in Rome is marked with a number of events led by the Pope, including a Palm Sunday Mass in St Peter’s Square and the Settimana Santa procession of the stations of the cross at the Colosseum, both of which attract large numbers of visitors.
                • Venice enjoys the Festa di San Marco on April 25. Men offer a single rosebud to the woman they love in celebration of the city’s patron saint.
                • Most other towns and cities host their own Holy Week celebrations with various processions and services.
                • Liberation Day, a national holiday, is also on April 25. It commemorates the Allied overthrow of the Nazis and the end of Mussolini’s rule.

                Visiting Italy in May

                Known as the month of the rose, May is a beautiful time to experience Italy. It’s warm but not too hot, and still early enough to avoid the crowds of summer visitors.

                Gardens across the country are at their peak. Whether you’re visiting historical cities like Rome or Florence or exploring the countryside, it’s a fantastic time to be outside.

                Average temperatures:

                • 49-70°F in the north
                • 54-71°F in central Italy
                • 61-70°F in the south

                Temperatures are reliably pleasant at this time of year. There may be the odd shower in the north and central regions, but otherwise, it’s sunny during the day, with lovely blue skies.

                Events & Festivals

                • Assisi celebrates Calendimaggio, a medieval and renaissance festival with entertainment like concerts, theater and dance shows, and processions through the beautifully decorated town.
                • The patron saint of Abruzzo, Saint Dominic, is honored with a parade where his statue is carried around the town, covered in live snakes. This is known as Festa dei Serpari.
                • In Venice, the Festa della Sensa, celebrated on Ascension Day, marks Venice’s ‘Wedding to the Sea’. Boats abound with a huge regatta and traditional rowing races, culminating with a symbolic union where the mayor tosses a gold ring into the water.
                • There are a lot of events in the month of May, as the Italians celebrate spring with food, wine and flower festivals. Florence’s Iris Garden opens to the public for just a few weeks, the only time in the year that you can walk through it.
                • For keen cyclists this is the start of the Giro d’Italia bicycle race — the Italian equivalent of the Tour de France.

                Visiting Italy in June

                Summer has officially begun. High temperatures in June attract visitors to Italy’s beaches and swimming pools, and peak season really gets underway. Visitors can enjoy wonderful open-air performances in cities such as Rome and Verona, while sun-seekers can relax.

                Average temperatures:

                • 55-77°F in the north
                • 61-77°F in central Italy
                • 68-77°F in the south

                Rain is unlikely to fall, so June is the time when visitors start to flock to Italy’s many picturesque destinations: historical cities, quaint villages, and beautiful beaches.

                Events & Festivals

                • La Festa della Repubblica on June 2 is a national holiday, celebrating the foundation of the modern republic of Italy.
                • Luminara di San Ranieri is celebrated on June 16 in Pisa, with thousands of people lining windows and doorways along the River Arno. It culminates in a dramatic firework display.
                • Republic Day on June 2 is a national holiday, celebrating the foundation of the modern republic of Italy.
                • Toward the end of June, the summer opera season at the amphitheater in Verona begins along with the Estate Romana program of events in Rome.

                Visiting Italy in July

                July sees increased summer temperatures and high visitor numbers, as pupils have a break from school and families take the opportunity for a vacation.

                Average temperatures:

                • 66-86°F in the north
                • 66-86°F in central Italy
                • 74-95°F in the south

                Some travelers may find the south too hot during peak season, but the north and central regions are usually pleasantly balmy, although it’s advisable to stay somewhere with air conditioning.

                July is one of the most expensive times to visit Italy, so travel during this month needs to be planned well in advance.

                Events & Festivals

                • The first Palio horse race occurs in Piazza del Campo in Siena on July 2. It is a historic battle between the city’s contrade (districts) as they compete for glory.
                • Madonna della Bruna is a festival that takes place in Matera on July 2. A procession is held, with a giant float of the Madonna Bruna as the centerpiece. This float is dismantled and burned afterwards, followed by a fireworks display.
                • Open-air performances and concerts take place in areas like Ravello, on the Amalfi Coast, and in Sicily’s Greek theaters in Syracuse and Taormina.

                Visiting Italy in August

                The hot, dry days of August draw in the crowds. The cities can be particularly stifling at this time of year and many locals depart en masse for the beaches, mountains or countryside.

                Not everything will be open — but not everything will be closed either, and in some cities, you’ll have more space to explore because the residents aren’t there. Take shelter during the hottest part of the day by using the time to explore museums and galleries.

                Average temperatures:

                • 60-83°F in the north
                • 66-83°F in central Italy
                • 74-83°F in the south

                August is one of the most expensive times to visit Italy, so travel during this month needs to be planned well in advance.

                Events & Festivals

                • One of the best festivals in the Marche region is La Quintana, on the first weekend of August. A large, 15th century-style parade takes place, followed by a jousting tournament.
                • Open-air performances and concerts take place in areas like Ravello, on the Amalfi Coast, and in Sicily’s Greek theaters in Syracuse and Taormina.
                • The second Palio horse race occurs in Piazza del Campo in Siena on August 16. It is a historic battle between the city’s contrade (districts) as they compete for glory.
                • Venice International Film Festival starts at the end of August and continues into September.

                Visiting Italy in September

                By September, summer temperatures have usually peaked and while the days remain hot, the nights tend to be cooler and more comfortable.

                Italians are now back at work or have returned to school, emptying the beaches to less crowded levels, although September is still a popular month with travelers.

                Average temperatures:

                • 54-75°F in the north
                • 62-79°F in central Italy
                • 72-80°F in the south

                The north is much cooler at this time of year — but not cold. You may see the odd rain shower in the north and central regions, but it’s still dry in the south, with pleasant weather throughout the day.

                Events & Festivals

                • MITO Musical Festival is on throughout the month in Milan and Turin.
                • The Regata Storica takes place in Venice on the first Sunday in September, with gondola races, gondoliers in traditional dress and plenty of vibrant waterborne pageantry.
                • La Vendemmia, the grape harvest, begins toward the end of September.
                • Venice International Film Festival starts at the end of August and continues into September.

                Visiting Italy in October

                Visitors in October can enjoy the last of the summer heat, making it a popular time for exploring the cities.

                Average temperatures:

                • 44-64°F in the north
                • 56-71°F in central Italy
                • 66-74°F in the south

                Visiting Italy in November

                The last month of fall sees temperatures cool, although travel is still very much an option. You may be faced with shorter days and rainier weather, but there are very few tourists and it’s a great time to explore indoor sites like museums, galleries, and religious buildings.

                Average temperatures:

                • 33-52°F in the north
                • 46-62°F in central Italy
                • 55-58°F in the south

                It gets much colder in the north in particular, especially at night, so be sure to wrap up warm. Central Italy is slightly warmer, although it’s still brisk. As always, temperatures are highest in the south and you may even see a little sunshine, but you should still be prepared for rain.

                Events & Festivals

                • All Saints Day is a national holiday celebrated on November 1. The following day is known as All Souls Day — the Italian equivalent of the Mexican Day of the Dead.
                • November is truffle season, complete with fairs, markets and gastronomic treats across northern Italy.

                Visiting Italy in December

                Similar to January, the milder Mediterranean winters make much of Italy still an option for travel during the colder winter months. You’re rewarded with quieter cities and sights, though you’ll have to brave cooler conditions.

                As it is very much the off-season, you’ll find many hotels outside the major cities are closed and hiking trails in the main areas like the Cinque Terre don’t open until Easter.

                The exception is in Italy’s ski resorts, where skiing season is in full swing in the Alps and the Dolomites. Snow is expected in these areas, but it may even fall in places that sit close to sea level.

                Average temperatures:

                • 26-45°F in the north
                • 42-57°F in central Italy
                • 54-61°F in the south

                Events & Festivals

                • The city of Paternò celebrates Saint Barbara Day with a parade on the slopes of Mount Etna, thanking the patron saint for protecting the fire brigade and preventing the volcano from erupting.

                Cold Snap Across Europe

                This page contains archived content and is no longer being updated. At the time of publication, it represented the best available science.

                Rare snowstorms in Rome and Tripoli and mounting death tolls from exposure were among the consequences of a severe cold snap in Europe in late January and early February 2012. Meteorologist Jeff Masters described it as Europe’s worst stretch of cold weather since February 1991.

                This map above shows temperature anomalies for Europe and western Russia from January 25 to February 1, 2012, compared to temperatures for the same dates from 2001 to 2011. The anomalies are based on land surface temperatures observed by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite. Areas with above-average temperatures appear in red and orange, and areas with below-average temperatures appear in shades of blue. Oceans and lakes appear in gray.

                Blue dominates this image, with most regions experiencing temperatures well below normal. Some of the most severe temperature anomalies occur in northwestern Russia and around the Black Sea.

                Masters explains that the unusual cold is a product of the jet stream. Jet streams are bands of strong, upper-atmospheric winds that blow from west to east around the globe. These bands roughly separate colder air at higher latitudes from warmer air at middle to low latitudes, and they generally blow straight west to east. “But this winter, the jet has had a highly convoluted shape, with unusually large excursions to the north and south,” Masters states. “When the jet bulges southwards, it allows cold air to spill in behind it, and that is what has happened to Europe over the past two weeks.” When the jet stream adheres to a convoluted pattern for long enough, extreme weather can result.

                The Arctic Oscillation (AO) Index provides an indication of whether the jet stream has formed an unusual bulge. When the AO is strongly negative, jet stream winds are comparatively weak, meaning it has drooped southward over Europe, dragging frigid air with it. A negative AO also often means unusual cold and snow over North America, but due to other factors, much of the United States has experienced below average snowfall.

                Europe’s winter temperatures have been extreme this year. Here’s why.

                From one extreme to another, the temperatures across Europe have been on a rollercoaster journey this winter.

                Greece or Spain have experienced some of the heaviest snowfall in several decades, temperatures have been exceptionally mild for the season in western Europe and there’s been freezing cold in the east.

                So, why has there been such extremes in the weather?

                The answer lies within the variability of large scale weather pattern drivers: the polar vortex and the jet stream.

                The jet stream — currents of fast-flowing, meandering air high above the Earth — has displayed interesting behaviour over the last few weeks following a sudden stratospheric warming.

                This led to a weak polar vortex — areas of low pressure and cold air surrounding the Earth’s north and south poles — and in turn disrupted the jet stream; throwing a typical weather pattern out of the window.

                This allowed extreme cold air to pour out of the Arctic and into mid-latitude continental regions like Europe, North America and Asia. There has also been record-breaking warmth across the Northern Hemisphere, this opposite extreme often goes hand-in-hand when the jet stream becomes weak and wavy.

                The polar vortex is a large area of low pressure and cold air surrounding the Earth’s North and South polesNOAA

                Below is a snapshot of the weather setup across Europe in mid-February 2021.

                While Spain, Portugal and parts of France basked in spring warmth, eastern Europe shivered in extreme cold with snow reported as far south as Athens and then eventually parts of north Africa and Saudi Arabia.

                Wild meanders in the jet stream account for the strong temperature contrasts. The wavy jet stream allows warmth to push north in some places while cold air leaks south from Polar regions in others. It is useful to compare the track of the jet stream to the airmass temperature to show how they are connected.

                We often see extremes all around the hemisphere when the jet stream becomes disrupted. The recent cold in North America can be explained in a similar manner. The cold was particularly extreme and widespread, especially for the southern US states which caused widespread blackouts.

                Below, is the setup from February 15, 2021, as the jet stream dipped south towards the Gulf of Mexico. The cold air was able to migrate south through the Great Plains east of the Rockies, all the way to the Gulf Coast. This is the strongest cold air outbreak in some parts of the USA for decades.

                So, the jet stream has been hectic this winter. What is a normal jet stream like?

                In the winter, the lack of solar energy reaching the high latitudes allows the Arctic to cool. Winds encircle this cold pool of air over the Arctic and this is where we get a stable polar vortex with an associated strong/stable jet stream. A strong and stable jet stream means weather patterns will typically propagate around the hemisphere from west to east, restricting the cold air to the polar regions. It is difficult to define a “normal” jet stream as there is a high level of variability.

                We typically see something like the strong and stable setup more often than a persistent wavy/weak jet stream. Even a strong and stable jet stream has waviness and meanders, these are often brief though and this limits the longevity of any extreme cold. We observed a very stable polar vortex and strong jet stream last winter (I tweeted this in an animation at the end of last winter).

                This was a near-record strong/stable polar vortex and strong/stable jet stream. This helped to keep the cold air locked in over the Arctic, with mostly warm, wet and windy conditions for places like North America, Europe and Asia.

                Last winter was the warmest winter on record for the northern hemisphere. Some may even remember that Moscow had to buy snow at Christmas to make the streets feel more festive in the exceptionally warm winter.

                Is the wavy jet stream behaviour linked to climate change?

                A challenging question with no easy answer.

                Over the last three decades, the Arctic has warmed three to four times faster than the rest of the world. Some climate scientists have hypothesised that disrupting the thermal gradient from Arctic regions to the equator is having an impact on the jet stream strength and waviness. This theory attempts to explain the jet stream disruption and may help offer some insight into the resultant temperature extremes across the northern hemisphere (both hot and cold).

                However, other scientists claim that there is no clear or obvious trend in the jet stream’s waviness.

                We need to ask ourselves: Can we blame the warmest winter on record (which was linked to a very strong jet stream) last year on climate change? But in the same breath blame the weak and wavy jet stream from this year (leading to the extreme cold outbreaks) on climate change? Which one is it? The role of the jet stream in the changing climate is not clear and there are conflicting arguments among scientists, research is ongoing. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) pushed only one side of this argument on a recent viral tweet that rattled a few climate scientists who specialise in jet stream dynamics and climate.

                Can we expect more extremes in the future?

                We cannot attribute every meander or buckle in the jet stream to climate change. This is where the difference between weather and climate must be understood. Natural variability will always play a major role in weather extremes; our atmosphere is a chaotic fluid after all. However, research shows that the jet stream could be changing in different parts of the world at different times of the year as a result of human-induced climate change. There is a tendency for droughts and heatwaves in the summer months to become harsher and a warmer for example. There is a trend for more extreme weather but the trend in jet stream strength and waviness during the northern hemisphere winter is not clear.

                We cannot simply blame the extreme cold in North America and the extreme temperature contrasts in Europe on climate change. One thing that is more certain is that cold extremes are becoming fewer.

                Top 13 places to visit in Europe in February | Blog

                Planning a trip to Europe in February and looking for interesting winter places to visit!? While you might think that the peak summer season from June to August is the best time to travel to Europe, I would say that winter in Europe is the way to go. Namely, the month of February!

                It may be below freezing in some parts of the continent, but things are heating up in others. Whether it’s partying at a carnival all night long, skiing in the snow of the Alps or lounging under the Mediterranean sun, there’s something for everyone in Europe in February.

                1) BARCELONA, SPAIN

                Let’s face it. Barcelona is a great place to stay all year round and there is something for every traveler. It’s bright, fun, unexpected and exciting. But even if you walk around this Spanish city outside the peak of the summer season, you are guaranteed to have a good time. February in Barcelona, ​​while still cold, does not experience the extreme low temperatures of other parts of Europe due to its Mediterranean location. In addition, there are plenty of events going on in Barcelona in February to keep you busy during your stay!

                2) VENICE, ITALY

                The famous Italian “floating city” Venice is certainly a summer destination, but in February, Venice hosts the city’s most famous annual event, the Carnival (or “Carnival” in Italian). Traditional Venetian masks are on full display throughout Venice and the energy is filled with fun and excitement. Temperatures in northern Italy can be significantly colder than in the south in February, but the atmosphere in the canal lanes and wide public squares of Venice is palpable.

                3) COLOGNE, GERMANY

                The North City of Cologne (“Cologne”) is a stunning historic German site on the River Rhine, famous for its cathedral and stunning Old Town.

                The German city, the fourth largest after the capitals of Berlin, Munich and Hamburg, is usually home to about a million permanent residents and is known for its “campus” aesthetic. But every year in February, an influx of out-of-town Germans and foreign visitors means that for one week, the city’s charming historic limits are pushed to their limits to celebrate “crazy carnival days.”

                4) HELSINKI, FINLAND

                February in the Finnish capital of Helsinki rarely rises above freezing, and most of the days it snows. If you’re a snow bunny, you’ll love this magical winter wonderland, and if you’re a winter sports fan, even better!

                Although Helsinki doesn’t have any major events in February, it’s on my list by itself because it’s a fantastic winter destination known for its majestic frozen landscape.

                5) CRETE, GREECE

                The huge island of Crete is just 160 km south of the Greek mainland and is a fantastic getaway from the bustle of Athens and much less crowded than the typical Greek islands of Mykonos or Santorini.

                It’s not so much that there are some big events in Crete in February to plan your trip, but that Crete is one of the warmest parts of Europe in the dead of winter. While many parts of Europe are freezing due to sub-zero temperatures, Crete is relatively mild and sunny even during the off-season.

                If escaping the cold is high on your to-do list for February, then Crete is the place to be. And filling your time should be easy, as this vast expanse of the island spans over 8,000 square kilometers and has thousands of miles of gorgeous coastline.

                6) ST. MORITZ, SWITZERLAND

                Switzerland’s snowfields in St. Moritz are the playground of the rich and famous during the winter months and one of Europe’s most revered winter destinations, with February being peak snow season. rabbits. And don’t think the fun ends with skiing or snowboarding down the slopes to experience some of the best snow in Europe. The St. Moritz calendar for February is full of events that will make your trip to the Swiss Alps unforgettable.

                7) REYKJAVIK, ICELAND

                Iceland has exploded in popularity and is now an integral part of the European travel itinerary, despite being off the beaten path. The capital, Reykjavik, has a lot to offer the tourism industry and it’s no surprise that 2 million foreign visitors now head there for volcanoes, spas, lagoons and a true sense of rest and relaxation. February is no exception, despite the lowest annual temperatures. But be warned: Iceland is significantly more expensive than continental European countries, so start saving up your Icelandic crowns right now. It is also a fantastic starting point from which to explore the rest of this incredible country.

                8) PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC

                The capital of the Czech Republic, and there’s a reason why Prague is often the world’s favorite city of any seasoned traveler you ask. It’s magical in the snow, it’s breathtaking in summer, and there’s so much to see and do on any given day that you’ll leave Prague with memories you’ll cherish forever.

                9) BRUGE, BELGIUM

                The medieval Belgian city of Bruges is charming with its canals, cobbled streets and ornate architecture. The reasons for his nickname “Venice of the North” are obvious. In February, Bruges does not experience extreme temperature changes, but it is still quite cold. However, that doesn’t mean that Bruges slows down even for a second, or that the iconic Belgian beer stops flowing.

                10) YORK, ENGLAND

                The ancient north city of York is one of the most beautiful, historically significant and charming cities in England, famous for its huge Gothic cathedral, York Minster, cobbled streets (including historical “ruins”) and fascinating story. York in February can be frosty and regularly snowy, but that only adds to its magical lore.

                11) CHAMONI, FRANCE

                Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (or simply Chamonix) is a popular ski resort at the foot of the famous Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps region. Mont Blanc attracts tourists all year round with its breathtaking views, but in February the snow attracts serious mountain sports enthusiasts and is considered the best skiing destination in all the Alps. Chamonix is ​​located at the crossroads of Italy, Switzerland and France, providing amazing accessibility while you travel to other major destinations.

                12) TENERIFE, SPAIN

                Tenerife, the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, attracts tourists all year round, and even in February the average daily temperature is 20 degrees Celsius. Being one of the warmest parts of Europe even in the dead of winter is just one of the reasons why Tenerife made it to my list of the best European places to visit in February. On top of that, it’s beautiful, with stunning beaches, turquoise waters, a hell of a relaxed vibe – plus one of the world’s biggest carnivals kicks off in February. When you visit Tenerife, you are really closer to the west coast of Africa, so sit back, have a cocktail and enjoy a short escape from the February cold…

                13) INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA

                The beautiful Alpine city of Innsbruck has always been a favorite with European travelers, especially during the winter months. The Winter Olympics have even been hosted twice in Innsbruck thanks to its epic alpine sports scene. A more contemporary Austrian destination than its bigger counterparts Salzburg and Vienna, Innsbruck still has the kind of charm (and perfection) you should get used to if you’ve ever been to this pristine country. February in Innsbruck is a busy time for tourism and also one of the best months of the year to visit this chic city.

                Tanzania in February ?☔: weather, holidays, best places

                Tanzania is well known for its safaris, wildlife and the highest volcano in the world. This amazing country is home to various species of wild animals and birds, moreover, it is here that the only deposit of the rarest gemstone tanzanite is located. Due to the fact that Tanzania is close to the equator, the weather here is significantly different from the rest of the world, so even February in this area can offer visitors the country excellent conditions for an unforgettable vacation.
                In terms of weather, the year in Tanzania is usually divided into 2 seasons: the rainy season and the dry season. The rainy season, in turn, is divided into two periods: from March to May and from November to December. Note that the air temperature in February averages about 30℃ during the day and about 20℃ at night, and rains this month are quite rare. But these are countrywide averages, so in some places they may be slightly above or slightly below the average.

                What to do in Tanzania in February

                It doesn’t matter what month you decide to visit Tanzania, as this beautiful country can offer a lot of interesting activities to its guests all year round. But if you decide to go to this country in February, then we will tell you what is the best thing to do here this month.

                Ngorongoro Crater Safari

                The weather in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is pleasant to visit throughout the year, which makes it possible to go on a safari and see wildlife even in February. This area is really worth a visit, because the meadows here are covered with lush greenery, which makes Ngorongoro an attractive safari area. In addition, on the territory of the protected area you can see animals such as black rhinos, zebras, giraffes, leopards, lions, hyenas, etc. In addition, February is considered an excellent time to observe birds such as yellow wagtails , flamingos and white storks that congregate around lakes in the Ngorongoro Craters or wetlands and streams. Also in the reserve you can see meadow birds such as ostriches. The Ngorongoro Crater is home to various tribal settlements and is considered a major paleontological and archaeological site.
                You can find a large selection of safari programs with a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater on our company’s website.

                Witness wildlife migration

                Wildebeest migration can be seen throughout the year in the Serengeti National Park, making it an attractive destination in Tanzania any month. Migration occurs every year at the time when the antelopes start looking for greener meadows, the abundance of which, in turn, depends on rainfall. The park is located about 300 km from Arusha, behind the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and has the highest concentration of large mammals (such as lions and leopards) in Africa.
                February is the perfect time to observe the wildebeest migration as they cross the Mara River from the Serengeti National Park to the Masai Mara National Park in Kenya. For several months from January to March, the wildebeests are in the southern sector of the Serengeti, in addition, during this period, thousands of newborn cubs appear in the herd.

                Enjoy your holiday in Zanzibar

                February brings good weather conditions for your holiday in Zanzibar. But be prepared for the fact that some hotels can be fully booked, so it makes sense to book a room in the hotel you like in advance.
                Zanzibar is not only stunning beaches and luxurious hotels, but also unique sights. The old fort in Stone Town, built during the Arab rule, is considered one of the main attractions of Zanzibar. The open-air theater in the old fort is the venue for international film and music festivals that take place here every year. Also worth a visit is the famous Prison Island with huge Seychelles turtles, some of which are approaching 200 years old.
                Other places we recommend visiting in Zanzibar are Nakupenda Vanishing Island, Kizimkazi village (dolphins are often seen near this village), Wishing Cave, Jozani Forest, Menai Bay and Mnemba Reef. Of course, there are other places on the island of Zanzibar and around it.

                Other things to visit in Tanzania in February

                If you are planning to visit Tanzania in February and are looking for exciting places to visit this month, then take a look at the following options.

                Lake Victoria: Tanzania’s largest lake

                If you think Tanzania is the only place to entertain yourself by going on a safari, you simply don’t know much about the magnificent waters in this wondrous country. What is the mesmerizing beauty of Lake Victoria, which stretches over an area of ​​68,000 square kilometers. It is the largest lake in Tanzania and the second largest freshwater lake in the world. Having gone here on vacation, you will certainly enjoy the beautiful views and enjoy swimming in the purest water.

                Gaddafi Mosque: the largest mosque in the country

                If you are planning to visit Tanzania in February or any other month of the year, then you should visit the Gaddafi Mosque. This is one of the most popular and largest mosques in the country, which was named after the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. He sponsored the creation of this stunning building throughout its construction. Thanks to the magnificence and amazing architecture of this mosque, it became known not only in Tanzania, but throughout the world.

                Selous National Park

                We have already talked about the two best parks in Northern Tanzania, but there are parks in Southern Tanzania. The best of them, in our opinion, is Selous Park. It is especially worth noting that there are relatively inexpensive safari packages in this park that involve the efficient use of time in it. You will fly from Zanzibar directly to the park and can immediately go by jeep to get acquainted with the local fauna and flora.

                Weather in Zanzibar in February

                The weather in Zanzibar is quite hot in February, but this month you need to be prepared for rare rains. In fact, the climatic conditions on the island during this period are quite comfortable, which allows tourists to spend an unforgettable vacation here.

                Zanzibar in early February

                Mornings in early February in Zanzibar are often rainy, but despite this, it is almost always replaced by a clear sunny day, which offers the island’s guests excellent weather conditions for a beach holiday.

                Zanzibar in mid-February

                Similar to the climatic conditions of the first ten days of the month, in mid-February there are also morning rains, which are replaced by clear afternoon skies. Therefore, if you wait out the morning showers, then during the day you can have a wonderful time on the shores of the Indian Ocean. But, of course, it is not at all necessary that the morning starts with rain. You just need to be prepared for this and not lose heart if, after waking up in the morning, you saw rain.

                Children and their parents will be especially delighted by the Museum “Man and Nature”. Its motto is natural science as an impression, so the exhibits here evoke empathy, surprise or admiration. The creators decided that it is through these feelings that a child can learn how the human body functions, how the evolutionary process took place, and get acquainted with the classification of animals.

                Krone Street, named after the founder of the famous circus , will surely lead you to him. For more than 150 years of existence, it has turned from a mobile menagerie into a stationary full-fledged circus with a modern program that includes traditional numbers. The huge tent accommodates 5,000 spectators and pleases them with original performances. The undisputed favorites of children are trained elephants, an unusual white lion, acrobatic stunts under a dome more than 15 meters high never cease to amaze young spectators and their parents. And if the weather at the end of February pleases you with a fine day, after a walk, look into the bright tent and give yourself and your kids an unforgettable holiday.

    February 29

    Daily Comment: Temperature 8 -13°C around 46.5 – 55F . What a mixed bag of weather we’ve had today in Barcelona.

    This morning started out beautifully sunny with an average temperature for this time of year (around 13°C) but by 15:00 the weather had changed completely and it actually started snowing.

    I was amazed to see people dancing in the streets and getting excited about this because snow in Barcelona is practically unheard of.

    The snow did not settle because at 8°C at ground level it melted right away but it was quite a site to see.

    I used to live in the UK where snow is a regular thing, so I preferred to watch the snow fall, and the people dance, from the comfort of my own warm flat.

    What to do if the Weather is bad. I can’t believe how bad the weather is today! However there is plenty to do and see indoors if the weather is not behaving when you visit Barcelona. You can visit La Pedrera or Casa Batlló two of Antoni Gaudí’s great buildings on Passeig de Gràcia . Or if you fancy some art there are the Picasso and Miró Museums and of course there is plenty of indoor shopping to be found around Avenida Portal de L’ Angel. Once you have made it to the evening time you will be trying out tapas bars or eating at restaurants so bad weather won’t be such a problem during the evening. But even so we’ve got our fingers crossed this bad weather will be on its way soon.

    Are our reports more accurate than Satellites? I’ve had an e-mail from a weather conscious viewer ( I think he must work for the meteorological survey centre or somewhere important like that) who claims that a person with a €20.00 thermometer cannot be as accurate as a multibillion pound orbiting satellite 1,000km above the earth. I was about to send a message back explaining that it was just a joke and not to take things too seriously, and that my thermometer was actually €23.00 etc but then I thought about it more and came to one interesting conclusion. Our reports actually may well be more accurate. All our reports are 100% accurate because we report what we have actually experienced so we never get it wrong. Unfortunately weather satellite prediction reports only give possibilities for the future (i.e. weather that does not exist yet and may never exist) not a summary of what the weather has actually been like -something you get on this page 😉

    • Weather in Madrid in December

    Where does this data come from?

    Weather data for Madrid 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.

    Grab a warm coat and a stylish pair of sunglasses, and you’ll be all set to enjoy the best of Madrid in February.

    February is one of the best times to visit Madrid if you want to experience the city like a local. Low season means little to no tourist crowds, making for a much more relaxing experience.

    And if you happen to be in town with your special someone to celebrate Valentine’s Day, you’re in luck. Madrid is one of Europe’s most passionate destinations, full of romantic things to do that will create lasting memories for any couple.

    Ready to explore? Here’s everything you need to know about visiting Madrid in February!

    Weather in Madrid in February

    February in Madrid is still crisp and on the chilly side, but for the most part pleasantly so. Temperatures average out between the mid-40s and the mid-50s Fahrenheit (7–12 degrees Celsius), and sunshine begins to gradually increase as well.

    As far as precipitation goes, snow is rare but rain is still relatively common compared to other months. There are a total of about seven rainy days on average throughout February in Madrid, so pack a small umbrella just in case!

    February can still be pretty chilly, so bring warm clothes!

    Things to Do in Madrid in February

    1. Visit a Small Museum

    Madrid is a museum buff’s dream come true, with international icons such as the Prado and the Reina Sofía drawing millions of visitors each year. However, while these places have earned their fame for good reason, they’re not the end-all-be-all of museums in Madrid.

    If you’re visiting Madrid in February, get off the beaten path and check out a lesser-known museum, like the Museo del Romanticismo. Housed in a gorgeously restored 19th century mansion, this small but fascinating museum is packed with history and culture from the Romantic period. Paintings, musical instruments, housewares and more will transport you back in time to one of Spain’s most magical areas.

    Cap off your escape with a cup of coffee and slice of homemade cake at the museum’s lovely little onsite cafe. There’s no better way to spend a chilly February afternoon!

    2. Try a New Wine

    Spain is truly a wine lover’s paradise, with fantastic bars on practically every corner. However, many people still haven’t expanded their horizons beyond the classics: Rioja and Ribera.

    There’s a whole world of Spanish wine out there just waiting to be discovered. And all of it is easily accessible right here in Madrid thanks to the abundance of excellent wine bars.

    Remember that here in Spain, we usually order wines by the region rather than by the grape. With this in mind, order a glass from the hidden gem of Somontano or a big, bold red from Toro. Both are perfect options to enjoy with a cozy Spanish winter meal!

    Learn more about ordering wine in Spain with the tips and tricks in the video below!

    3. Experience an Evening of Gastronomy and Culture

    While daytime temperatures are slowly on the rise here in Madrid in February, nights can still be on the chilly side. Warm up and treat yourself to an unforgettable gastronomic experience at Platea, one of Madrid’s foremost culinary and cultural spaces.

    What was once an old theater has been beautifully restored and converted into Europe’s largest and most elegant gastronomic space, with several floors of sleek food and drink areas and plenty to see and do. As a bonus, they even feature concerts most nights of the week for a full cultural experience. Grab your glass of wine, a plate of tapas, and settle in for a fantastic show.

    Insider’s tip: This hugely popular space fills up quickly, so go early in the evening to grab a table with views of the stage!

    Platea will take your breath away with its grandiose design (and incredible food selection, of course). Photo credit: Platea

    4. Eat Cocido

    Madrid’s signature stew is a one-pot wonder and the perfect winter warm-up. 

    Cocido madrileño is traditionally served in three courses: first a simple noodle soup, then a portion of vegetables and chickpeas, and finally the stewed meats. It’s Spanish comfort food at its best (and most delicious).

    If you’ll be in Madrid in February, be sure to duck into a cozy local restaurant to enjoy this homemade classic like a local.

    Be sure to come hungry if you’re craving cocido!

    5. Go Shopping

    It’s no secret that Spain is a shopper’s paradise. With everything from iconic international brands to tiny, charming local boutiques, you’ll find anything you could possibly want here in Madrid.

    If you’ll be visiting Madrid in February, even better: you’ll be here right during the heart of winter rebajas, Spain’s semi-annual sales period offering unbeatable deals nearly everywhere.

    Where to begin, though? The ritzy Salamanca neighborhood is often hailed as Madrid’s best shopping hub, home to glitzy European labels, tiny independent designers and everything in between. Another excellent option nearby is trendy Chueca, with scores of great locally owned boutiques.

    6. Eat Cake

    On a chilly day in Madrid in February, there’s not much better than ducking into a cozy cafe for a sweet pick-me-up. Luckily, we’re spoiled for choice here in the capital, with literally dozens of fabulous cafes, bakeries, and pastry shops offering mouthwatering sweet treats. Order a frothy cappuccino and a slice of homemade cake to enjoy as you crack open a good book or sit and people-watch.

    7. See the Almond Blossoms

    One of the most beautiful things to see in Madrid in February are the gorgeous almond blossoms that spring into bloom in the latter half of the month. Many Madrid parks like Quinta de los Molinos and Parque del Capricho are full of bright almond trees that make for the perfect early-spring photo op.

    Data source and citation

    Raw data for the calculations made to find the sea surface temperature in Mar de Cristal comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and their 1/4° daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature.

    The water temperature data is constructed by combining observations from different platforms (satellites, ships, buoys, and Argo floats) on a regular global grid. A spatially complete sea surface temperature map is then built by interpolating to fill in gaps in the data.

      We base comfort level on dew point, as it determines whether sweat will evaporate from the skin, cooling the body. A lower dew point makes you feel more dry, while a higher dew point makes you feel more humid.

      The best places to visit in February may surprise you. It’s actually a great time of year for a getaway—and there are some seriously stunning places around the world where you can have a vacation to remember.

      Whether you want to warm up with a tropical break in the sun or are in the mood for a late winter snow holiday, we’ve found the places that are at their best for a visit in February.

      Although there are an increasing number of options for your February break now that the world is starting to open up, Covid-related travel restrictions are still in place around the world, with some countries enforcing stricter entry requirements than others.

      Wherever you choose to go, be sure to check the latest travel requirements before you book and before you go, as these will vary depending on the destination and may be subject to change.  

      Best places to visit in February in the USA

      1. Palm Springs, California

      (Image credit: Getty Images)

      Best February holiday for: Combining outdoor adventures with chic city living

      There are plenty of incredible things to do in California, but parts of the state can get pretty chilly in February. Not so Palm Springs. In fact, with an average daily high of 75.2°F/24°C, you’ll avoid the scorching temperatures of the summer months (when it can hit highs of 104°F/40°C plus) but you’ll still enjoy plenty of sun, and typically very little rainfall.

      The pleasant temperature means that as well as simply blissing out by the hotel pool and enjoying the vibrant local dining scene, you’ll be able to do some outdoor activities without breaking (much of) a sweat.

      Hiking is particularly popular here, with some amazing trails to explore in the nearby mountain foothills. The Wilderness Loop is a great option if you’re travelling with kids, as it’s a relatively easy route, and it’s situated in the Living Desert Zoo.  

      The iconic Joshua Tree National Park is less than an hour’s drive from Palm Springs and is well worth a visit. If you want to stay overnight, make plans well in advance as the campsites book up quickly, and to tackle the harder trails, pack your hiking boots.

      Top tip: For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, book the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, which takes you more than 8,500 feet from the desert up into the mountains, where you can build a snowman during the winter months!

      2. Key West, Florida

      Best February holiday for: A tropical holiday with beautiful beaches

      Key West is a classic USA destination for winter sun. The chief draw, of course, is the idyllic beaches. 

      Some of the best can be found in the nearby island clusters, which are reached by ferry, but there are also some great options on Key West itself, including the laidback Higgs Beach in the Old Town.

      Travelling with kids? It’s easy to plan a family holiday in Florida that all ages will enjoy, and that’s particularly true in Key West, which has plenty to keep children amused, from water sports to dolphin safaris.  

      Get your cultural fix at The Hemingway Home and Museum and the Truman Little White House, and we’d recommend heading to the Key West Lighthouse for amazing views.

      An evening stroll around atmospheric Mallory Square is a must, with street food vendors and entertainers adding to the party vibe.

      Top tip: Key West is one of the best places to visit in January and February and is a very popular destination over these months as a result. So, make sure you book sought-after restaurants (such as Pierre’s ) before you go.

      3. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

      (Image credit: Getty Images)

      Best February holiday for: Embracing winter snow and escaping the crowds

      Yellowstone is one of the most-visited national parks in the USA—for good reason. This vast wilderness area is home to richly diverse wildlife, making it a great nature holiday, and spectacular scenery, including iconic geyser Old Faithful.

      It’s so popular in summer that the US government is discussing National Park Service restrictions. If you want to beat the crowds, February is a great month to visit. Yes, it will be seriously cold, with daytime highs of 3°C. However, it’s undeniably beautiful in winter, as steaming hot springs contrast with pristine snow. Visit in May for a slightly warmer experience without the summer crowds.

      It’s also a good spot for winter activities, from snow shoeing to ice skating and cross-country skiing. You can book photo safaris with expert guides, without too many other tourists ruining your shot.

      Top tip: Book a tour in a heated snowcoach if you don’t want to spend too much time in the cold.

      Best February holiday for: A wintry city break full of cultural highlights

      Prague is popular year-round destination for European city breaks, but it’s one of those cities that looks especially enchanting in the winter.  

      Even if you don’t actually get snow while you’re there – there are an average of 12 days of precipitation in February so travel in December if you want a guaranteed snow-covered scene – there’s just something magical about the way the Gothic and Baroque architecture looks in the moody light of winter.

      It’s a great city for strolling, with beauty around every corner, from the Old Town Square to Charles Bridge. A guided walking tour is highly recommended to really get into the city’s rich history.

      When you want to warm up, there are plenty of cosy cafes and restaurants, plus some glamorous bars for romantic winter evenings.

      Top tip: Prague’s cobblestone streets can be slippery in icy weather, so make sure you pack footwear with a good grip for your urban adventuring.

      5. Paphos, Cyprus

      Best February holiday for: A laidback trip with culinary delights

      Don’t expect tropical temperatures in Cyprus at this time of year—the average high is 17°C. However, February is still a good time to visit if you’re looking for pleasant winter sun.

      Even if you’re unlikely to be sunbathing in these temperatures, there’s still much to enjoy in and around this Mediterranean city. 

      Explore the Paphos Archaeological Park, with ruins dating back all the way back to ancient Greek and Roman times. The Tombs of the Kings, a series of underground chambers, is a must-see.

      If you’re particularly keen on foodie adventures, head to nearby villages to enjoy traditional Cypriot cuisine. There are also some stunning vineyards in the area where you can sample the local wine.

      Top tip: Take a day trip to the nearby Troodos Mountains—you’ll need some extra layers as it’s chillier at altitude.

      6. Barcelona, Spain

      Best February holiday for: Cultural exploration without the crowds

      Barcelona is one of the best places to visit in Europe, full of cultural gems, but these can be hard to appreciate in peak season, when the city is flooded with visitors and the mercury is soaring. For a quieter visit, February is ideal, with an average high of 59°F/15°C.

      Classic Barcelona sights include the Gaudí-designed Sagrada Familia and Parc Güell, bustling shopping street La Rambla, the Picasso Museum and the magical Gothic Quarter. 

      It’s also worth a visit to La Boqueria market. Even if you’re not buying food, it’s a great spot for soaking up the city’s atmosphere.

      Top tip: There are some fabulous beachfront restaurants where you can take a break from sightseeing and enjoy seafood with a view.

      Best February holiday for: A sunny escape that includes relaxation and adventure

      If you’re living somewhere with cold winter weather, an average high of 25°C probably sounds pretty good for an escape from the chill. Step forward Jamaica, one of the best February places to visit for sunseekers.  

      This Caribbean island nation is a glorious destination to shake off the winter blues, with verdant scenery, beautiful beaches and sparkling sea.

      It would be tempting to spend your days in blissful relaxation on a sun lounger with a rum cocktail in hand. But it’s definitely worth making time to explore the sights, including the Bob Marley Museum and Dunn’s River Falls.

      In the evening, take in the sunset from Jamaican institution Rick’s Cafe, the island’s most famous bar and restaurant.

      Top tip: For a real away-from-it-all vibe, check into Rockhouse , a boutique hotel with thatched rooms styled to complement the natural surroundings.

      8. The Maldives

      Best February holiday for: Romantic indulgence in a tropical idyll

      Looking for a winter paradise? The Maldives may just fit the bill, with powder-soft sands, crystal-clear waters and a host of luxury private-island resorts where you can truly unwind.

      February is the driest month in The Maldives, and temperatures remain in the high 20s, so you can take full advantage of the idyllic surroundings.

      As you’d expect from a destination synonymous with honeymoons, there are plenty of adults-only resorts. However, you’ll also find some lovely, family-friendly places to stay, with lots of activities to suit travelers of all ages.

      Top tip: The Maldives has famously clear waters, making it an excellent diving spot, so if you’re thinking of learning to scuba dive, book a resort with a PADI centre.

      See the official latest travel advice for The Maldives here.

      9. St Lucia

      (Image credit: Getty Images)

      Best February holiday for: A sunny escape with as much —or as little—as you want to do

      St Lucia can be seriously humid in the summer months, but February is beautifully dry and clear, with highs of 84.2°F/29°C.

      This is easily one of the most romantic destinations in the world, with lush green forested hills surrounding serene, sandy bays.

      The Pitons, two volcanic cones, are the island’s most iconic site, and if you want to experience them up close, you can book a private guided hike. Do this early in the morning to avoid the sun at its hottest!

      St Lucia produces cocoa beans for chocolate, and it’s worth visiting a farm to find out more about the process—and to have a tasting, of course.

      Top tip: There are plenty of luxurious resorts in St Lucia, but it’s worth trying to get at least a couple of nights at Jade Mountain , with in-room infinity pools overlooking the coastline.

      See the official latest travel advice for St Lucia here.

      The best 22 hidden Europe gems to travel to in 2022

      Exploring the best spots in Europe often means cheap flights on Ryanair, heading off the main path or simply finding yourself somewhere totally unexpected. 

      Some people call that inconvenient. I call it winning.

      I love hunting out the hidden gems of Europe, the places still waiting for the crowds to descend and those destinations that unexpectedly capture your heart. If you are like me and would rather point to a random island called Nisyro on a map and head there on a whim, then this list, my friends, is for you.

      The other magical thing about exploring Europe is how easy it is to get between the smaller destinations thanks to the extensive bus and rail connections available, especially given buses can sometimes be the best way to reach the hidden gems of Europe.

      Here are 22 unique places in Europe worth adding to your travel list in 2022…

      The Asitz Mountain in Saalfelden-Leogang

      1. Asitz Mountain, Austria

      Perfect for? Sustainable travel, hiking and biking, culture, art and escapism

      One of my most recent Europe hidden gem finds is the Austrian region of Saalfelden Leogang, set in the Austrian Alps. While many would think of this corner of the world as the ideal winter ski destination, I visited at the start of summer to try and discover the #RealAustria, as the local tourism board call it – and boy am I glad I did!

      The two towns that make up this region are adorable. Saalfelden is more urban, Leogang is more rural, and the entire valley is absolutely stunning. However, the main reason to venture to this part of Austria is for an unforgettable mountain experience atop the lofty peaks of the Asitz Mountain.

      Reaching 655 metres at its highest, this is a wonderful winter ski destination also renowned for exhilarating and intense mountain biking routes. Locally known as ‘the mountain of senses’, there is much more to this part of the jagged range than just extreme sports.

      Something of a secret Europe destination still, culture lovers will be well rewarded after riding the gondola to the top. An art and sculpture trail through the forest for the eyes, water features for the ears, herb gardens for the nose, a ‘nature cinema’, and most magically, outdoor concerts in the same performed to an incredible mountain lake backdrop.

      You’ll also find these incredible wooden huts (TONspurs) on the mountain, where you can lay back and enjoy the view while listening to previous concerts playing through the headrest. Honestly, it’s one of my new favourite European destinations!

      How long to spend in Saalfelden Leogang? A long weekend to one week – this is a total slow travel destination.

      How to get to Saalfelden Leogang? You can either fly into Innsbruck or Salzburg and connect by train, or also from Munich in Germany. Train travel from the UK is possible, by overnighting and then taking the Alpine Express.

      The ancient city of Cáceres‎

      2. Extremadura Region, Spain

      Perfect for? Picturesque cities and roman history, natural hikes, excellent local produce

      Perhaps the least touristed region of Spain, Extremadura, which translates to ‘extreme-hard’, might conjure up images of wide-open dusty plateaus of olive grows at first glance. Yet, upon further inspection, it’s a region rich in gastronomy, culture and heritage that surely can’t stay as under the radar for too long.  

      Best avoided in the harsh summer heat and winter cold, the two provinces of Caceres and Badajoz are sandwiched between some of the most popular destinations in Spain (Andalusia and Castile and León) and, to the west, Portugal. But here, you’ll not only find the best Roman ruins in the country in UNESCO listed Merida, where amphitheatres, museums of mosaics, and ancient aqueducts will take you back in time, but an additional two UNESCO Heritage Site cities and further listed natural parks.

      Discover the old city walls of Caceres, where the Old Town combines Gothic, Renaissance, Roman and Morish architecture with ease. Admire another feat in blended architectural styles at the pilgrimage site of The Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe. Hop between small villages like Hervas, famous for the white-washed Jewish quarter, or quaint cities like Plasencia, where narrow streets and grand cathedrals combine – this is secret Spain at it’s best!

      The impressive amphitheatre of Merida

      Once you have finished taking in the urban history, heed the call to slow down as you meander through the impressive, bird-strewn landscape of Monfragüe National Park, or one of the many other biosphere reserves in the region, before rounding it all off with a feast of mouthwatering delights.

      For, one of the best rewards of going off the beaten path in Europe to Extremadura is the excellent cuisine – and, given here was the birthplace of the famous, and true, Jamon Iberico, you are in for a treat. Whether you are sipping the local Cherry beer, devouring the creamy Torta del Casar cheese coated in the local smoked paprika, or dining on historic dishes like the breadcrumb-meat combined migas, you’ll not struggle to be well fed in Extremadura. 

      How long to spend in Extremadura? You’ll most likely want a car to make the most out of a week trip, although you could visit a few key cities by bus over a long-weekend.

      How to get to Extremadura? The main airport of Badajoz has very limited options, but you can fly into Salamanca (closest), Madrid or Seville and transfer by bus or car in a couple of hours.

      A road trip through the Vipava Valley

      3. Vipava Valley, Slovenia

      Perfect for? Food and wine, sustainable travel, outside activities.

      I’m so glad to see Slovenia getting the attention it deserves, with the green capital of Ljubljana and the mystical-magic of Lake Bled becoming firm traveller favourites.

      But much of the country remains blissfully off the beaten path, and Vipava Valley is undoubtedly one of Europes best-hidden gems… for now!

      Slow-travel and sustainability aren’t buzz words in Slovenia; they are a way of life, and nowhere is this truer than in Vipava Valley. A gorgeous set of greenery, hills and vineyards, you could easily mistake this for Tuscany at first glance.

      The joy of visiting Vipava is in cycling or hiking between little villages, heading into the mountains, enjoying Paragliding with their famous winds, and sampling everything that is put in front of you. There is an unknown number of wine cellars here, as everyone seems to have on under their house. The most inauspicious home doubles up as a restaurant serving local delights and home-made wine, and the whole place is pretty as a postcard. Whether you want a couple of days of downtime with a foodie focus, or a week escaping modern life in favour for local flavours, this small part of Slovenia will deliver you back home feeling totally refreshed.

      How long to spend in Vipava Valley? A long weekend to one week – this is a total slow travel destination.

      How to get to Vipava Valley? You can either fly into the Slovenian capital of Lljubljana, or the Italian city of Trieste and then drive or book a transfer.

      Inside a Lava Tube in the AzoresTea plantations in the Azores

      4. The Azores, Portugal

      Perfect for? Nature filled hikes, Atlantic ocean surf, geo-thermal activity

      Imagine, if you will, a kind of Switzerland meets New Zealand, but on a much smaller scale and surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. Located between Portugal and Canada and formed by volcanic activity, you’ll be spoilt for natural wonders on the nine islands of the Azores, an autonomous region of Portugal.  

      Whether it’s responsibly swimming nearby dolphins or spotting the local whale population, hiking crater lakes that shimmer in hues of cerulean and shamrock, or taking in the geothermal activity bathing in the ocean or watching geysers bubble, you’ll be amazed – and that’s only on São Miguel island.

      With a flurry of new flights launching in 2022, it’s fair to say this hidden gem of Europe won’t remain so for long – although some of the islands are bound to stay much less visited. Far-flung Flores – translated as flowers – but which should really be called Waterfalls, as a verdant escape of blissful hikes to cascading streams. On Pico, you can summit the highest mountain in all of Portugal, head underground in extinct Lava Tubes, or taste the unique local volcanic wine. 

      Sao Jorge, a personal favourite, serves up incredible faja (lava-spill) views on its network of impressive trails, while the otherworldly landscape of Faial, where an eruption in the 1900’s created a whole new black-desert like side of the island, will truly feel like another planet.  

      How long to spend in the Azores? Either spend a week explore the main island of Sao Miguel, grouping together a few islands like Pico, Faial and Sao Jorge, or take a three to four week adventure to explore all nine, most advisable in the summer months when weather is more reliable

      How to get to the Azores? Sao Miguel has the main airport, with international flights, including to London and as of 2022 new direct flights to the USA. Terceira also has some international routes. From Lisbon, you can get flights to most of the islands, and once there, the local airline travels between all nine islands, while ferry services connect the local groups together.

      Bosnia and Herzegovina is a magical land

      5. Bosnia and Herzegovina

      Perfect for? Adventure activities, fascinating history, Ottoman architecture.

      Can I get away with calling a whole county a Europe hidden gem? Well, I’m sure going to try! For the most part, exploring Bosnia and Herzegovina is still a relatively off the beaten path experience in Europe. I’ve been here twice now, and the second visit firmly cemented my love for the country. On both visits, I was on a road trip, as it’s the best way to get to some of the lesser-visited spots.

      Sure, beautiful Mostar is rightly famed, and now getting very popular with day-trippers from Dubrovnik, and Sarajevo, the capital city, is starting to attract more and more visitors thanks to its affordable pricing, fantastic cultural mix, and historically significant, especially in relation to WWI, but the country offers so much more to experience.

      For adventure lovers, the rafting around Konjic is fantastic, with the water so clear and illuminated it looks photoshopped, a common theme of all lakes you’ll find around the country. The water-based magic extends to the postcard-perfect Kravica Waterfalls and the monastery in a lake at Rama in Scit. For cultural adventures and hiking, head to Lukimor, one of the last remaining mountains villages, or if you are in the area in the winter months, Skiing is available.

      But the real magic for me in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the little moments, whether it’s staying in a converted railway station in Zavala, a town with a population of two where you are serenaded by guitar playing owner pouring you their homemade wine before whisking you into epic caves or enjoying a chilled lemonade or Arabic coffee looking out on the Ottoman wonder village of Počitelj.

      It feels like around every corner there is a new experience, place or person to bring a smile to your face, and I wholeheartedly believe if you want a real adventure, and to enjoy Europe off the beaten path, Bosnia and Herzegovina will bring you sheer joy.

      How long to spend in Bosnia and Herzegovina? One to two weeks.

      How to get to Bosnia and Herzegovina? Flights into the country are still relatively low, and mainly go to Sarajevo. Tuzla also has some budget flight options (I’ve flown here before and then taken a bus) and Dubrovnik, Croatia, provides a strong international arrival point to then cross the border by bus.

      The Kazbegi region of Georgia

      6. The Georgian Caucasus Mountains

      Perfect for? Epic hikes, incredible food and wine, affordable prices

      Spanning from Georgia to Azerbaijan and connecting two continents, the Georgian Caucasus Mountains offer incredible hiking trails in the warmer months, through to snowy escapades in the winter – when certain stretches become inaccessible. 

      Georgia, especially the capital city of Tbilisi, has been growing in popularity in the digital nomad community for years, thanks to the one-year visa and low nomad tax rates, but you can find the real magic of the nation amongst the highest peaks.

      Dormant Mount Kazbek, climbing to an elevation of 5055 metres, is a real sight to behold, and the surrounding area around Stepantsminda, a town set in the valley, is one of the most popular year-round destinations thanks to its position on the main Georgia – Russia highway keeping it accessible. Monasteries sit above the clouds, friendly dogs will volunteer to be your trekking ‘guides’, and hospitable homestays will start as a place to crash and quickly become a home with new friends. 

      Don’t miss experiencing the warmth and charm of Georgian hospitality, served up with some of the worlds best and oldest wines, local spirit chacha, and mountains of delicious food. From the twisted dough dumplings of Khinkali to the cheese-stuffed Khachapuri bread, the mountains will soon feel secondary to the gastronomic delights that will never stop being delivered to your table!

      How long to spend in Georgia? Well, this really is very open-ended thanks to the very liberal one-year visa policy. Give yourself a two week trip to enjoy some hikes, a few days in the city, and perhaps a dash over to Batumi, the nations slightly bizarre Black Sea coastal city.

      How to get to Georgia? Tbilisi (the capital city) has regular international flights, while Kutaisi airport is where you’ll find most of the budget airlines operating from across Eastern, and sometimes central Europe.

      There is much more than canals in The Hague

      7. The Hague, The Netherlands

      Perfect for? Politics and History, Beach Bars, Museums, Vegetarian Food.

      One of my favourite city-breaks ever, it’s fair to say The Hague really really really shocked me with how cool it is, and how much is going on there, hence naming it a Europe hidden gem!

      As a city more known for politics and social justice, I was impressed with the fantastic food and bar scene, especially for vegetarians, the in-depth and fascinating museums such as Humanity House, the never-ending selection of chic-clubs and bars along the gold sandy beach, and of course, the critical work the city does international for Peace and Justice.

      I’ll admit before I visited I wasn’t sure how I’d fill a long-weekend in The Hague, but with Amsterdam about to burst, this second-city, and political capital of The Netherlands is a well worthy alternative. It might not have as many canals or as much coffee-culture as Amsterdam, but it more than makes up for it with the laid back vibes, friendly locals, and culture to gorge on. Seriously, if you are looking for a Europe city-break in 2022, you can’t go wrong with The Hague!

      How long to spend in The Hague? A long-weekend city break.

      How to get to The Hague? The Hague can be quickly reached by train from Amsterdam airport. Rotterdam/The Hague airport is closer, but public transport times are similar.

      The stunning inside of Teatro Bibiena, Mantua

      8. Mantua, Italy

      Perfect for? Lovers of Italian architecture and art, escaping the crowds in Italy.

      After five trips to Italy in 2019, from the Dolomites in the far-north region of Trentino to the epic coasts in the heel of Puglia, I think it was going to be a given I’d discover a few of Europe’s hidden gems while here, and Mantua was one of the most surprising, earning it top spot on this years Europe hidden gems list – especially given so many of Italy’s top tourist attractions are quite simply put, overflowing with tourists.

      To be honest, I’m shocked this city isn’t all over everyone’s bucket lists, and while it seems like local Italian tourists adore visiting, and those in the know head here, for most of us, we are sadly unaware of what an extraordinary city this is.

      Located in the Lombardia region of Italy, it’s easiest accessed by car, although train connections from Verona, Venice and Milan can bring you here. Its best calling is the art and architecture that bring so many of us to Italy’s most famous cities, and here there is an abundance.

      Home to the largest residential building in Europe, after the Vatican, Mantua (or Mantova) is surrounded by three artificial lakes, one coated in lilypads which call out for a sunset boat cruise. We have to thank the Gonzaga rulers for most of the grand architecture in Mantua, whose Ducal Palace presents some 600 odd rooms. While only some are open to the public, they are an architectural feast, with grand frescos and beautiful art and you can spend hours exploring them all.

      Also impressive and worth a visit is the Te Palace (which has nothing to do with the drink) which also offers some rather grand halls, and perhaps my favourite spot, the Teatro Bibiena, a real Italy hidden gem if ever there was one – and I couldn’t believe that for less than a price of coffee we could tour it, and be the only visitors.

      Combining this incredible architecture, indescribable art, the call of northern-Italian cuisine and wine, and the chance to take epic day trips across the Lombardia region from Mantua makes this  city for me an absolute joy to discover, and I do hope to make it back one day.

      How long in Mantua? A two day city break, or use it as a base for longer to take day trips from.

      How to get to Mantua? The nearest airport to Mantua is Verona, but trains from Verona, Milan and Bologna are the best connections if you are without a car between 1.5 – 2hours. Venice can connect to these stations and FlixBus offers various connections.

      Sunset on the 9km golden beach in Porto Santo

      9. Porto Santo Island, Portugal

      Perfect for? Beach days, good shoulder-season weather

      Madeira, one of my favourite islands in the whole world, is another Portuguese destination enjoying a moment in the spotlight. But Madeira isn’t just one island, and the ‘baby-sister’, if you will, of Porto Santo, remains on the best off the beaten path Europe beach escapes.

      With limited flight options, and most people arriving by ferry from Madeira, the 9km stretch of golden sands, backed by rolling hills and easy hiking routes, makes for a perfect beach escape whether with friends, family, or a loved one.

      With a mixture of accommodation options, ranging from upscale resorts, to down to earth home rentals, Porto Santo is all about easy days spent relaxing, whether it’s cycling around the island, enjoying on the peaceful trails, or just sipping a cocktail at the beach.

      How long to spend in Porto Santo? You could enjoy a beach vacation for a week, or make it a short-visit combined with Madeira

      How to get to Porto Santo? While there are a few flights to the island directly, mainly from Lisbon, the ferry from Madeira is under three hours.

      Sunrise in Cuenca Spain

      10. Cuenca, Spain

      Perfect for? Impressive architecture, city-side hiking.

      This seriously underrated hidden gem in Spain was my final trip of 2018, and what a place it was to discover.

      While most online discussion around this medieval city is on the Casa Colgados, the hanging houses which seem to dangle off the side of the rock, the whole old city is magical and deserving of its UNESCO world heritage status.

      Perched upon a rock and with a history that can be traced back around 1300-years, the colourful houses, castle ruins, and cathedral packed with architecture spanning through various time periods come together to provide another world like feel. Stepping into Cuenca is like stepping back in town, and the surrounding nature of the karst mountains, coupled with the crystal blue river provides an awesome adventure playground alongside your city break.

      How long to spend in Cuenca? I’d suggest two days here, a day trip from Madrid as often reccommended is rushed and I’d avoid it.

      How to get to Cuenca? You can quickly get to the out of town station of Cuenca AVE (Fernando Zobel) in under an hour by high-speed rail from Madrid. A slower train service goes directly to the new part of the city.

      Durham Castle as seen from the riverside

      11. Durham, England

      Perfect for? Castles, TV & Film Locations, Museums, Nature.

      If you are looking for the quintessential British experience that has it all, then don’t look any further than a visit to Durham. Durham’s city boasts a UNESCO listed castle and cathedral, while the rest of the region is packed full of  hidden gems with history, nature and one of the best museums I’ve ever visited.

      Durham city itself is most famed for the castle and cathedral, both spectacular and deserving of a few hours to tour, while cool cafes, river water sports and historic architecture are close by. Outside of the city, you have the Durham Heritage Coast, ideal for hiking and relaxing, and plenty of castles and green rolling hills in the region, with Raby Castle the favourite of those I visited. Durham is also reasonably easy to get around by public transport for those not wishing to hire a car, which is a huge bonus when visiting England.

      Be sure to visit Beamish Museum, a living museum which I ended up spending a full day in, it was that good! Imagine a museum meets theme park vibe, where everything is fully interactive, and you can discover the history of England from the 1800s onwards. From old-school sweet shops and photography studios fully staffed to vintage trams and busses driving around, the chance to see history played out, there are actors in the ‘homes’ and ‘schools’ for example makes this an excellent opportunity to experience history.

      How long to spend in Durham? I’d suggest at least a long-weekend to experience the city, a couple of castles and the fantastic Beamish Museum.

      How to get to Durham? Durham is well connected to London and Edinburgh via train, and Newcastle International Airport is a short drive or public transport connection away.

      Sunrise at the Merchants’ Bridge in Erfurt

      12. Erfurt and Thuringia, Germany

      Perfect for? Beer and Bratwurst, Charming city-centre, regional hidden gems.

      I really really enjoyed my time in Erfurt, its a relatively small yet charming city, and is the capital of the Thuringia region of Germany, which is certainly not as known as other parts of the country.

      Dating back to around 700 AD, the city slowly built up as an essential trading destination in the Middle Ages and thanks to the old town surviving WWII you can still experience it very much as it once was. Home to Germany’s oldest university, the city has a young vibe, and in the summer months when I visited beer-gardens were overflowing, and every street felt alive – and the ice cream parlours are fantastic!

      The main attractions in the city are the imposing cathedral, castle and the Merchants Bridge, an adorable cobbled street crossing packed with tiny boutique spots. There are countless photography opportunities in this Europe hidden gem, and beyond the city, the region has more to offer.

      Combine your visit to nearby Weimar and Gotha, ideal for the classical culture and the arts of this region, especially Weimar where the library is well worth travelling for, and the vibe is positively stately.

      How long to spend in Thuringia? A weekend city break in Erfurt, to one-week exploring the region.

      How to get to Erfurt and Thuringia? Erfurt airport has limited seasonal flights, but Frankfurt airport provides train transfers in under two hours, and discounted train tickets are offered to those staying in the region.

      Lake Komani, Albania

      13. Lake Komani, Albania


      Perfect for? Off the grid escapes, waterspouts, outdoor hiking.

      In the north of Albania, you can find a hikers and nature lovers paradise. The one day hike from Valbona to Thethi in the Accused Mountains is just breathtaking and for now remains a pretty secret spot in Europe. Lake Komani shouldn’t be missed before or after your outside adventures, depending on which direction you come from.

      This relatively flat lake made me think of Norway, cutting through the valley with the rising green cliffs on each side. You can directly take the passenger ferry to go across to the other side but for some real R&R book a stay at the stone house in the middle of the lake, free from electricity but complete with homemade cheese, honey and liquor. The day tours provided by Molla Molla also arrange excursions and stays at the farmhouse, you can read more about Lake Komani here.

      How long to spend in Lake Komani? A couple of days as part of a greater Albania trip.

      How to get to Lake Komani? Lake Komani is around a 4-hour drive from both Tirana airport and also Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro – buses can bring you to the nearest city, then arrange local transfers.

      The view of old town Bansko and the snowy mountains

      14. Bansko & Pirin National Park, Bulgaria

      Perfect for? Winter trips, great value skiing, mountain hiking, old-town relaxing

      Some what of a last minute addition to the list, and my first ‘Europe hidden gem’ trip of 2020 was Bansko where I attempted to learn to Ski. What I learnt is even if Skiing isn’t going to become your newest passion, it’s an ideal destination to spend a week in as there is much more there than the slopes.

      This fantastic value skiing destination in Bulgaria has been growing in popularity over the last few years, yet still remains extremely affordable. For example, my chalet rooms including dinners, breakfasts, transfers and drinks with Snomads usually goes for about £300 a week, and lesson and lift-passes are much cheaper than the likes of Italy or France. The £1.25 G&Ts went down rather well too. All this makes it an ideal first Ski destination, or for a mates holiday where people are at varying levels, as they really are geared up with all types of slopes.

      Beyond the Skiing though, which is at the top of the mountains some 30-minutes Gondola ride from the resort town, you’ll find all you need with restaurants, bars, rental shops and other activities like ice-skating. There is also a beautiful old town with lots of traditional buildings, house museums, and a small but stunning Orthodox church.

      If you visit outside the ski season, you’ll still be able to enjoy the old-town, and head into the Pirin National Park for some hiking and lake hunting instead of the pistes.

      How long to stay for? A long-weekend to one-week – depends how long you want to ski for, I also highly suggest you tie it in with visits to nearby Plovdiv and Sofia on one trip.

      How to get to Bansko? Flights into Sofia are usually greeted by Ski transfers from your lodge.

      The cute town of Brisighella

      15. Brisighella, Italy

      Perfect for? Medieval village vibes, slow travel.

      When you think of the Italy from the movies; you know the one, hair flying in convertible cars, verdant green hills of vines, castles towering above little red roof towns, you’re essentially thinking of Brisighella.

      This too cute to believe Italy hidden gem was my first day trip in Emilia Romagna and it stayed my favourite. The picturesque streets with little cafes and gelato shops sit under the three hills of the town; one clocktower, one castle and one church. You can enjoy a casual stroll between the three and visit them before noshing down on all the gelato below. We saw one little tourist group there but other than that, on a blissfully sunny June day it was devoid of tourists, making this a true off the beaten path Italy experience.

      Be sure to check out the surroundings including the old quarry caves which now host live music performances underground, the excavation site of the old castle which offers terrific panoramic views and head to the mountains for some fantastic fresh food and fresh air at the Parco Carnè visitor centre.

      How long to spend in Brisighella? Two days as part of an Emilia Romagna week visit.

      How to get to Brisighella? From Bologna (which has a well connected airport) you can take a train to the closest city, before changing onto a regional train service.

      The volcanic island of Nisyros

      16. Nisyros Island, Greece

      Perfect for? Escaping it all, white-washed villages, volcanic hiking.

      The volcanic island of Nisyros in Greece turned out to be one of my most unexpected discoveries of 2018. I didn’t know I was going to Greece until I got invited there, on a second date. Sadly, the romance never blossomed, but I did replace it with a new lover: Nisyros Island.

      This Europe hidden gems is unique in that it is all a volcano, and around the edge, with charming whitewashed villages with signature blue frames play home to close-knit communities. In the middle of the island, you’ll find the space like landscape where the crater of this active volcano bubbles away, and you can take your adventurous ass right down into it, sulphur fumes and all.

      For many, Nisyros Island is a day trip, usually from Kardamena, a small resort town in Kos where I was spending the week. For those who want to experience a little more of Nisyros Island, then I’d recommend staying for a few nights. There are a few different villages around the edge you could then explore at your own pace, but even just taking some downtime on the black sand and rock beaches, or reading a book with a Greek coffee along the waterfront, is a holiday enough. If you want that simple Greek lifestyle but without the overwhelming crowds of say Santorini, and don’t mind trading in a few photo opportunities for lazy afternoons strolling between mountain villages, an escape to Nisyros is a good bet.

      How long to spend on Nisyros? You can day-trip from Kos, spend a couple of days hiking, or spend a week or more just escaping it all.

      How to get to Nisyros? The easiest international way to get here is to fly to Kos island and then from Kardamena take a boat to the island.

      The all-year-round Christmas village of Seiffen, Saxony

      17. The Ore Mountains, Saxony

      Perfect for? Christmas lovers and historic traditions.

      If you think of Christmas Villages, then you are likely thinking of the Ore Mountains.

      Located in the depths of Germany’s Saxony region, this is truly where Christmas comes alive, and somewhat all year round. With countless wooden carving stores, candle makers, Christmas angel designers and a whole host of other winter magic and tradition here, it’s a joy to visit in the festive season, but that rubs off to other parts of the year.

      The Saxony region of Germany impressed me no end, from the post-war rebuilt grandeur of Dresden to the more funky and modern vibe of Leipzig that wasn’t really my thing. But it was my second visit, to more remote towns and hidden gems, such as The Ore Mountains, that really captivated me.

      With mining traditions such as concerts in underground caves, and belly-busting feasts kept alive, right through to the annual Christmas parades, this is a totally different side of Germany to the stereotypes of Bavaria, bright-lights of Berlin, or savvy finance capital fo Frankfurt.

      How long to spend in the Ore Mountains? Stay a couple of days, or combine with a road-trip through Saxony.

      How to get to The Ore Mountains? Leipzig and Dresden’s airports offer flights, while Berlin by train is relatively quick and easy. Around the mountains, a car will be required to explore, but for the Saxony region itself, trains and busses offer good connections.

      One of the San Marino towers

      18. San Marino

      Perfect for? Peculiar museums, epic view points, medieval history.

      Yep, another country on the list – but this pocket-sized nation is somewhere rather special.

      Entirely surrounded by Italy, the Emilia-Romagna region to be precise, San Marino is the oldest republic still in the world and offers some quirky reasons to visit, which is why I think it is still a Europe hidden gem. Between the three towers, striking location on top of Mount Titano, and a handful of bizarre museums, it’s a super exciting spot to visit.

      With many people making the mistake of taking a day-trip here like its a museum, staying overnight will not only give you incredible sunsets and sunrises but when I stayed there in June it felt like we have it all to ourselves – such as being locked in a museum after all the staff have gone home!

      This tiny republic is the 5th smallest country in the world and its a genuinely fascinating. They use the Euro although they aren’t in the EU and have individual San Marino coins. They have two presidents at any time who serve six months each. They have their own calendar. You get the point, it’s a pretty unique place, and as such, you should undoubtedly make the time to ‘pop over the border’ from Italy to this still relatively undiscovered gem – especially as it’s becoming more and more popular!

      How long to spend in San Marino? Don’t listen to those who say do a day-trip, spend at least one night here –  you can combine it with a visit to Emilia Romagna, the Italian region famous for its food which surrounds the republic.

      How to get to San Marino? Outside Rimini train station, regular coaches depart for San Marino. Rimini has it’s own airport, while Bologna airport provides an alternative option.

      Views down into the Canyon’s of Montenegro

      19.

      Tara Canyon & Pluzine, Montenegro

      Perfect for? White water rafting, outside hiking.

      One of my favourite stop during my Montenegro road trip, Tara Canyon and the inside of the country is absolutely gorgeous!

      It seems like word has caught on about the magic of Montenegro, with countless friends and family flocking to the incredible UNESCO old-town of Kotor, and cruising along the sometimes crowded coastline, but if you head inland to the mountains which gave this county its name, you’ll be rewarded with a true off the beaten path in Europe experience.

      Durmitor National Park is a must-visit, but head in the direction of Pluzine to discover a Europe hidden gem. Here we stayed in a cabin on a lake, sinking shots of Raki (a local homemade liquor) with our host as the sunset around us. Beyond here is the incredible drive that takes you around Tara Canyon, with towering black cliffs and incredible cerulean waters, it’s a fantastic spot for some off the grid adventures, both hiking, and white water rafting.

      How long to spend in Pluzine? Two days as part of a Montenegro road trip.

      How to get to Tara Canyon? You’re gonna need a car to get here and truly explore Montenegro, although if you come on a tour to stay at one of the water-rafting camps here transfers can be arranged.

      Like a fairytale, Dunrobin Castle

      20. Sutherland and Moray, Scotland

      Perfect for? Castles, Coasts, and Scottish hidden gems.

      Scotland has indeed been basking in the tourism spotlight in recent years, with the Edinburgh Festivals going from strength to strength, the Isle of Skye hitting peak tourism, and new coastal drive routes with numerical names popping up, so much so without heading to the far-flung islands it’s getting harder and harder to find hidden gems in Scotland.

      Sutherland and Moray are two parts of the country I loved during my road trip there, and you can base yourself bang in the middle in Inverness if you want to try and explore by public transport, or get a car for the ultimate Scotland road trip.

      While Inverness itself doesn’t conjure the fame of Edinburgh or Glasgow, there are plenty of hidden gems to explore a short journey away. In Sutherland, the star of the show is Dunrobin Castle, a grand old building set in perfectly manicured gardens, while Moray has the impressive ruins of Elgin Cathedral to admire. Along this stretch of coast and road you’ll find plenty of cute towns and killer views, and hopefully, avoid the crowds heading to the west-Highlands and famous spots like Glencoe.

      How long to spend here? Best enjoyed as part of a Scotland road-trip, or use Inverness as long-weekend base to explore from.

      How to get to here? Inverness is the main capital city of the greater Highland region, offering many flights. Alternatively, start your road-trip from Edinburgh.

      Valsugana is an ideal outside playground

      21. Valsugana, Italy

      Perfect for? Water sports, mountain hiking, spa and relaxation.

      Valsugana offers up epic hikes, lakes perfect for watersports, and all against snow-capped mountains and an alpine tree decorated backdrop. While Lake Garda might be the most famous lake around here, those in Valusgana, such as Lake Levico, still have those Europe hidden gem vibes about that.

      I was also amazed to find out that numerous lakes had been awarded the blue flag award for beach and water quality, something I had assumed was just reserved for beautiful beaches. Once you see the bright cleanliness of the lakes and the families relaxing on the beachside shores though, you’ll quickly see why this region deserves these accolades.

      I stayed in the Valsugana region for my lake-side escape, and it was the perfect off the beaten path Italian experience, but there are also charming little villages here, bespoke wine producers, mountain biking and Dolomite views and even art galleries in the hills!

      How long to spend in Valsuagna? A couple of days as part of a Trentino trip, or spend a week here on a relaxing nature holiday.

      How to get to Valsuagana? You can take the train down from Austria, or up from Verona to Trento, where the regional line connects with Valsugana. Local cards supplied with accommodation provide free regional public transport and entry to many attractions.

      The Bone Church in Kutna Hora

      Perfect for? Bone-chilling churches, forest adventures, gothic grandeur

      Whilst Prague may be one of the hottest must-visit cities in Europe at the moment, the historic and impressive city of Kutna Hora is still a relatively under the radar gem. It makes for a great day trip from Prague although spending a night there is never a bad idea.

      Discover the cobbled streets, grand architecture, an incredibly impressive cathedral and pay a visit to the unique ‘Bone Church’ which is, as you might have guessed, adorned with bones. With lush woodland surrounding the city and plenty of Pilsner on tap, it’s a perfect slice of Bohemia without the crowds of the Charles Bridge.

      How long? An two-day visit with an overnight stay will give time to see the city and enjoy the nature

      How to get to Kutna Hora? Trains from Prague take around one hour.

      On the original version of this 2022 Europe Hidden Gems list, Kyiv was one of the top entries. Tragically the Russian invasion has caused misery and suffering for those living in Ukraine and, obviously, made tourism impossible. However, I leave this entry below as a reminder for future travel plans, when we can return to Ukraine and help support and re-build the nation through tourism.

      Perfect for? History, gold-domed churches, great value food and beer.

      I thought this year I’d throw in a capital city of good measure, as there are a surprising number of cities across Europe that are still relatively off the beaten path for most travellers. Torn between Tallin, Warsaw and Luxembourg, I then remember just how much I loved Kyiv on my flying visit there earlier this year.

      Ukraine might not have had the fairest coverage in recent years (and now, with the war, that continues), but as Chernobyl seems to become somewhat of a tourist destination in itself, hopefully, Kyiv and the rest of the country, including hidden gems such as Lyiv get more recognition.

      A relatively green city, with stretches of river beaches entertaining comedy clubs, a fantastic food scene peppered with great value Georgian restaurants, and lots of gold-domed churches to admire, Kyiv is an ideal city-break in Europe that is relatively affordable and under the radar.

      How long to spend in Kyiv? An ideal weekend city-break, I spent just over a day here and it was rushed.

      How to get to Kyiv? As a capital city, the airport is well served with international flights.

      Top 20 family summer holidays in Europe | Family holidays


      Campervanning, Portugal

      Van hire €1,302
      Best for ages 10+
      Type of trip Adventure
      Road trips always make great adventures, especially with the novelty of sleeping in a campervan and the excitement of plotting a route on the map. The coast of Portugal, from Porto down to Lisbon, makes an ideal route, packed with beaches, surf breaks, culture, delicious cheap food and opportunities for spontaneity. The Caravan and Motorhome Club’s guidebook, Touring Spain and Portugal, is helpful for campsites, but it’s worth grabbing the chance to wild camp: just swing towards the sea whenever a turn-off looks promising.
      indiecampers.co.uk. Price is for a week’s hire of a Fiat motorhome with two double beds, picking up Porto and dropping off Lisbon, in summer

      Artist’s abodes, Lanzarote

      Villa for 4 £1,005
      Best for ages 2-6
      Type of trip Culture
      Haria is an enchanting village of palm trees and colourful faded facades, so it’s no wonder Lanzarote’s most famous artist, César Manrique, lived out his days here in a home and studio, now open to the public. Snooping through his 1960s furniture, tropical plants and artworks is fun even for tots, as are his other properties-turned-museums – the Volcano House, with underground rooms within a lava field, the Cactus Garden, and the Jameos del Agua – vast caves containing a bar, pools, nightclub, concert hall and cafe.
      booking.com. Price is for a week at the end of July in a two-bedroom bungalow at Villas Finca la Crucite, which share a pool, in Haria

      House for 4 €1,050
      Best for ages 0-7
      Type of trip Village life
      The beaches and coast of Andalucía are 50 minutes’ drive away, endless mountain trails lie on the doorstep, Málaga’s galleries and restaurants are within easy reach for a day trip, and the local village has fabulous markets and an olive oil co-operative. But if you can drag the kids away from the pools, mini golf, playground, trampoline, playing field, pizza cafe and trikes at Baby Friendly Boltholes’ cluster of 12 casas rurales in Cantueso, we’ll be impressed.
      babyfriendlyboltholes.co.uk. Price is for a week for four in August in a simple two-bedroom house

      House for 10 €1,229
      Best for ages All
      Type of trip Beach
      We’re used to imitating the Danes’ style and cuisine now, so maybe it’s time to holiday like them, too. The West Jutland coast is awash with city folks’ stylish summerhouses: low-lying, clapboard-clad and tucked between sand dunes. The village of Blåvand, on a white sand spit near Esbjerg, home to red deer and many artists, is a good base for exploring the coast, Skjern Edge river delta and Ringkobing Fjord, and (for those brave enough) dips in the North Sea. Houses here start at under €600 for a week in August, but house ID 30589683, which sleeps 10, has a whirlpool and sauna and is 50 metres from the beach. Legoland is an hour away, Esbjerg 30mins.

There are also Byzantine churches, museums in provincial capital Volos and the traditional hill village of Milies, and well-preserved mansions. This is Greece at its best, with excellent beaches to boot. At the Esperos Suites, in Lafkos, nine self-catering villas around an infinity pool sleep three – great for couples with a baby or toddler.

The level of difficulty is medium, with a maximum of 37km cycling and 750 metres of ascent each day.

      Style and salt water, Menorca

      Flat for 4 €1,225
      Best for ages All
      Type of trip Beach
      “More bird song than Pete Tong” is how Lonely Planet describes Menorca, the wilder Balearic isle. It still shares the boho genes of the other islands, in the beguiling towns of Maó and Ciutadella, and at the smattering of gorgeous hoteles rurales – reinventions of hamlets as stylish agrotourisms. Menorca’s beaches are spectacular: Cala d’Algaiarens in the north has some of the best, and emptiest, stretches of sand around. Biniatram agrotourism, an old farmhouse deep in the countryside, has seven apartments and eight guest rooms, a swimming pool and a sports field. It also has its own “private trail”, on which guests can walk to the beach in 25 minutes.

      Pitch from €350
      Best for ages 5+
      Type of trip Activity
      The medieval village of Orpierre, in the Hautes-Alpes départment of Provence, is surrounded by the sort of cliffs that make rock climbers drool, then sweat. While experts take on the challenges of the Quiquillon, Belleric and Adrech faces, beginners can tackle the Quatre Heures cliff or, at the very least, the inflatable climbing tower and climbing walls at Camping des Princes d’Orange. The large campsite, with 124 shady pitches on wooden decks, plus mobile homes and posh tents, has all the facilities kids go crazy for – swimming pool with slides, mini golf, film room and bike hire.
      camping-castels.co.uk. Price is for a pitch for three for a week in late July. Bungalows from €756. Take the Eurostar to Avignon or fly to Grenoble with Jet2 from Stansted, or easyJet from Birmingham

      Farm stay, Austria

      Double €532 B&B
      Best for ages 2-10
      Type of trip Mountains
      Austria is an untapped resource when it comes to wholesome family holidays, especially those with scope for lamb-petting and chicken-chasing. Lovely wooden chalets and family-friendly farms are handily listed on the Tyrol tourism website, with scents of fresh cow dung and drying hay to tempt urbanites. Bauernhof Zieplhof has wonderful views over what are in winter ski slopes, plus a large playground, pets and pony riding (free for guests).

      Best for ages 10+

Day trip options include Dresden, half-timbered Erfurt and the Elbe sandstone mountains, used as a location for the Chronicles of Narnia, Cloud Atlas and Grand Budapest Hotel, and home to the stunning Painter’s Way.
      bach24.arcona.de. Price is for August at the Arcona Living Bach, which has brightly coloured rooms with enlarged music scores on the walls

      Island escape, Croatia

      Price for 4 £263 half-board
      Best for ages 13+
      Type of trip Beach
      While all the 20-year-olds hit the bars of Hvar Town, your brood can zip away from the quay in an inflatable speedboat, as guests of The Fisherman’s House on Sveti Klement, a Maldivian atoll lookalike west of Hvar. The Matejevic family, with their dogs, cats and kids, run a simple six-room pension by the turquoise water of Vlaka Bay, which is ideal for swimming from the pebble beach, hammock swinging, and running wild. Older teens can walk around the island, stopping at beaches along the way – or petition to be allowed a water-taxi over to Hvar to party.

      Best for ages 6+
      Type of trip Adventure
      Climbing up and up a mountain to a remote spot to the place you’re going to spend a week will be unbelievably exciting for children, especially those who have read Heidi and will be familiar with the bleat of goats, little wooden cabins and views of the mountains “on fire” at sunset. The Swiss tourist board has created an Airbnb of mountain huts with its new dedicated website, alp.holidaybooking.ch. One cute option is the Wegscheide Weidhutte on a hillside in Achsten, near Adelboden, sleeping nine in three simple bedrooms.

There are games, crafts and shows in the kids’ and juniors’ clubs, while for teenagers there are table tennis tournaments and DJs until midnight. Oaks shade much of the site, on the island’s east coast, and there are three pools, plus a beach a short walk away. Well-spaced pitches are a generous 100 square metres, and there are also cottages and wooden chalets.

It’s open all year and besides pitches for tents and plots for campervans there are chalets and mobile homes to rent, plus two family-friendly restaurants to choose from. There are lovely walks to be had around the lake and along rivers, and for a break from the great outdoors it’s not far to the town centre with its pretty old timber-frame houses and cafe-filled streets.

      Favignana, one of the beautiful Egadi islands off north-west Sicily, is where in-the-know Sicilians escape to for lazy days of swimming in crystalline water, sunbathing on (and jumping from) the rocks that surround most coves, and to feasting on local tuna, and pasta with tomato and almonds.

      21 cheap places to visit in Europe in 2022

      Europe, what a beauty you are. A melting pot of culture right on the doorstep of the UK (lucky us!), but still accessible from further afield due to the high number of international airports across the continent. Europe has a real mix of something for everyone: romantic weekends away, fast-paced city breaks, lazy holidays on the beach, active adventures in the mountains, and plenty of cheap places to visit in Europe if you’re on a budget. If you’re looking for the best, cheapest places to visit in Europe, then this is the post for you.

      Travelling is such a wonderful opportunity, and being able to travel on a budget makes it more accessible to people. Also, if you spend less on one adventure, you have money to spend on another. Budget travel doesn’t have to be any less fun either. There are cheap places to travel to all over the world, including plenty of places to travel on a budget in Europe. There are lots of ways to save money when you’re travelling, from planning your travel budget carefully before you leave, considering backpacking and car-sharing, through to the choices you make (e.g. food) when you are on your trip.

      I do believe that everywhere in the world can be travelled on a budget. Honestly, there are free things to do in London, cheap things to do in Vienna, and budget-friendly things to do in Copenhagen (all capital cities within some of the most expensive countries in Europe)! But, being frank, it’s much easier to visit certain places on a very low budget than others. And I want you to know that the cost of visiting there, their ‘financial value’, doesn’t take away from their value in terms of the beauty or adventure on offer there, not one bit.

      And honestly, some of the cheapest places to visit in Europe are actually the most beautiful. You don’t have to sacrifice quality here when choosing a cheap place to visit in Europe.

      I love the hustle and bustle of London, the romance of Paris, and the mountains of Switzerland – they are up there a the top of most bucket lists but they are also the locations that can end up draining your budget very quickly.

      I hope this blog post inspires you to travel in Europe, even if you’re travelling on a budget, by sharing some of the cheapest places to visit in Europe in 2022.

      Another bonus to visiting one of these cheap places in Europe, is that they’re very often less busy. It can often feel like you are ‘discovering’ this place for the first time. Trust me, nothing beats that feeling.

      Now, before we look at destinations…

      I have three top tips for those of you looking for a cheap place to visit in Europe…

      1. Travel off season (no school holidays!)

      If you have the luxury of a bit more flexibility in terms of when you travel, avoid school holidays and peak summer season! Europe is so much cheaper in shoulder season, and even cheaper still off season. Spring (March-May) and early autumn (September/October) are still sunny in Europe, and if you like the cold, aim for November or January.

      2. Avoid the Eurozone.

      Countries that joined the euro are typically more expensive than those that retained their own currency.

      Speaking of currency, wherever you travel, it’s often cheaper to withdraw your money from an ATM abroad than it is to use a bureau d’exchange. Count the pennies, save the pounds!

      3. Avoid capital city centres.

      Capital cities tend to be the most expensive area in the country. Unfortunately, they can be where all the life is! While all the places in this blog post will be much cheaper than the likes of London, even the capital cities, if you want a really cheap weekend away in Europe, avoid capitals altogether. Of course, there are a few exceptions, but as a general rule, try a quieter, less touristy town with a more local feel. If you’re insistent on visiting the capital and you want to save money, either a) stay in another town and visit the capital as a day trip, or b) if you want to spend the weekend in the capital, stay slightly out the centre in the suburbs.

      One final note before we check out my list of cheap places to visit in Europe. This guide focuses on cheap places to visit once you’ve arrived, the cost ‘on the ground’. These countries all have international airports with arrivals from all over, so getting there shouldn’t be a problem, although how much you spend on your flights will depend on where you’re coming from and when you travel. Don’t forget any visas you might need too.

      Check out Skyscanner to get all the best flight deals and track prices!

      So, without further ado, and in no particular order…

      1. Croatia

      One of my favourite countries in Europe, somewhere I’ve been multiple times and you can guarantee that I’ll be back as soon as I can. There’s something about the crystal clear waters, stunning architecture, fragrant lavender and fresh seafood that draws me back to Croatia every time.

      For a cheap stay in Croatia, avoid Dubrovnik. Try visiting backpacker hotspots Zadar, Zagreb or Split instead.

      EXPLORE CROATIA ON THE BLOG HERE

      2. Czechia

      Although prices have gone up in recent years, Czechia is still very cheap when it compared to the likes of the UK. Prague city centre is a bit of a tourist trap so be careful where you eat there (it can be significantly cheaper to explore the suburbs instead!). I’d also love to explore Brno and the nearby Moravian wine country, as well as the spa town of Karlovy Va

      3. Romania

      Castles, mountains, forests, and the largest population of brown bears in Europe… Romania sounds like somewhere from a fairy tale. And let’s not forget the story of Dracula! If you want to hang out with the vampires, put Transylvania on your bucket list now! Bucharest is another affordable European capital, and the city of Timisoara also looks like it would be a great weekend away. For a nature filled weekend, head to the coast and stay near the Danube delta.

      4. Hungary

      Hungary is a great place to start if you’re looking for a cheap place to visit in Europe! The accommodation, food and transport are all extremely affordable, even in Budapest, the capital, which is a great, cheap city to visit in Europe. Hungary is also home to Europe’s largest lake, Lake Balaton, if you’re looking for a nature holiday.

      5. Poland

      A really underrated place to visit in Europe! Some of the most beautiful countryside I’ve ever seen, cheap beer and vodka, and great food! Trying pierogi must be on your Poland bucket list! Warsaw and Krakow are affordable cities, but for an even cheaper weekend away in Europe try the cities of Poznań, Wrocław or Gdańsk.

      EXPLORE POLAND ON THE BLOG HERE

      6. Bulgaria

      Said to be the cheapest country in Europe, I couldn’t leave Bulgaria off this list of cheap places to visit. With beautiful beach towns on the Black Sea coast line, epic hiking trails in the mountains, a rich cultural history, a weekend in Sofia or a beach holiday in Zarna sounds just like what the doctor ordered!

      7. Moldova

      As the least visited country in Europe, you really can discover Moldova for yourself. It’s full of history and beautiful architecture, and really is underrated, untouched, and undiscovered. The local cuisine and gorgeous wine also come with a low price tag, making it a great European destination for anyone on a budget! Moldova’s capital, Chisinau, is very affordable, and I’d love to visit the waterfalls in Saharna one day!

      8. Montenegro

      Beautiful hiking, endless crystal clear waters, fresh seafood… this tiny country has so much to offer! Visit Montenegro if you want a less busy, less crowded, cheaper holiday with a similar experience to Croatia. You won’t regret it!

      SEE ALL MY MONEY SAVING TIPS ON THE BLOG HERE

      9. Serbia

      Serbia is a well-kept secret, and also one of the cheapest places to visit in Europe. Think upbeat city life, gorgeous lakes and stunning mountain views, all for a tiny price tag. The capital, Belgrade, is one of Europe’s most affordable cities, and I’d also love to visit Novi Sad, Devil’s Town (Đavolja Varoš) and all the National Parks!

      10. Estonia

      When I last visited Estonia, it was part of a trip with Princess Cruises, seeing six cities in seven days (check out the adventure here). Admittedly, going on a cruise is not the cheapest way to travel, but if you head to Estonia independently, it’s very affordable! I loved the charm that Tallinn had, and I’d love to explore more of the city another time, as well as the national parks and islands Estonia has to offer.

      11. Macedonia

      Macedonia is yet another underrated, cheap place to visit in Europe. I’d absolutely love to go to Macedonia for a weekend full of active adventure: everything from cycling, hiking and swimming through to rock climbing, caving, kayaking, paragliding and even skiing (depending on the season, obviously!). Skopje is the capital and is a cheap, up and coming city if you’re looking for more of a city break.

      12. Ukraine

      Most people haven’t got Ukraine at the top of their travel bucket lists, but if you’re looking for cheap places to visit in Europe, Ukraine should be one of them! Kyiv is considered one of Europe’s cheapest capital cities, and it’s also famous for its beautiful nature. I’m adding the sleepy spa town of Myrhorod on the Khorol River to my bucket list now. Lush woodlands, naturally healing saltwater, and horse riding… bliss.

      13. Bosnia and Herzegovina

      Bosnia and Herzegovina is often overlooked for neighbouring Croatia, but it is beautiful in its own right. With its history, differing cultures, and natural beauty, as well as being very affordable, add Bosnia and Herzegovina to your list now! I’d love to go hiking or skiing in the Jahorina, Vlasic or Bjelasnica mountains here.

      14. Albania

      I think Albania is the country that has surprised me most, ever. It’s absolutely beautiful. I didn’t know anything about Albania before I left, but my 6-day road trip along the coastline is one of my favourite adventures to date. The Albanian Riviera is also famous for its growing music scene, so you could time your trip with an international music festival. When I next go to Albania, as well as revisiting the coastline, I’d love to see more of Tirana, and visit Theth National Park, the Ksamil Islands, Shkodra and Lake Koman. It’s one of the best cheap places to visit in Europe and I am adamant that I will be back!

      So, while I might have mentioned earlier that the cheapest places to visit in Europe are outside the Eurozone (and I still stand by this!), there is fun to be had on a budget within the Eurozone. Again, avoid the capitals for a cheaper trip!

      15. Slovenia

      Lake Bled… need I say more? Slovenia is only just becoming popular with tourists, so be sure to check out the famous Lake Bled and the city of Ljubljana before everyone else does! It’s also a great place for adrenaline junkies. Home to the steepest zipline in the world (in Planica), you’re sure to have a great time!

      16. Slovakia

      Hiking in the High Tatras is on my bucket list; it looks absolutely stunning! I’ve never been to Slovakia before, but from the research I’ve done, it’s super affordable and amazingly beautiful. A skiing holiday in the Tatras, a city break in Bratislava or or a watersports adventure on the Danube would be really fun things to do in one of the best cheap places to visit in Europe!

      A country blessed with 4 proper seasons, Latvia gives you the option to visit whenever you want, based on the weather you want! Vast forests, sandy beaches and ski resorts… whatever you want, Latvia’s got it, and all without emptying your wallet! I’d love to do a little fairy tale tour through the forests, medieval villages and the castles… like a real princess!

      36 of the Best Winter City Breaks in Europe

      Even though I’m not very good at dealing with cold weather, I’ll keep adding items to my bucket list of the best winter city breaks in Europe.

      I just can’t deny that Europe in winter is pure magic. The Christmas markets, the decorated streets, the snow – everything is just irresistibly enchanting.

      After visiting a few times (and loving it despite the impossible temperatures), I’ve decided it’s time to create a proper winter bucket list with the help of some fellow bloggers, from popular places to underrated destinations you might haven’t considered.

      POPULAR WINTER CITY BREAKS IN EUROPE

      STRASBOURG, FRANCE

      By Brianna from Curious Travel Bug

      Strasbourg makes for a fantastic winter destination in Europe as the city has charming architecture and cozy restaurants that can be enjoyed year-round.

      One of the best things to do in Strasbourg is to explore the Petite France historic district. With canals lined by half-timbered buildings, the city evokes a very fairy-tale-like atmosphere. You can even tour the canals by boat.

      The Strasbourg Cathedral is also a must-see. With Paris’s Notre Dame being closed, it’s one of the best gothic-style cathedrals in France. While here, be sure to try some Alsatian specialties like kougelhopf and flammekueche.

      A winter trip to Strasbourg is perfect for exploring some of the best Christmas markets in Europe.

      Strasbourg hosts multiple Christmas markets that take over the squares in Petite France and offer up a magical experience with the streets decked out in lights and Christmas trees.

      As for accommodation, stay at the highly-rated Hôtel de l’Europe.

      COPENHAGEN, DENMARK

      By Nadine from Le Long Weekend

      As the birthplace of Hygge, Copenhagen knows how to do winter best. Cozy cafes, bars, and restaurants line the wide streets, and their heated patios complete with sheepskin rugs and throw blankets invite you to stay awhile.

      Meanwhile, colorful markets and boutique fashion stores make for a delightful shopping experience.

      If you’re visiting Copenhagen in December, you’ll benefit from the many Christmas markets that dot the city (be sure to look out for the floating Christmas parade too!), but there’s plenty to do if you visit later in the season as well.

      The famous Tivoli Gardens delight both young and old, outdoor skating rinks evoke festive cheer, and hot saunas will thaw you out after a day’s exploring.

      Book a room at 71 Nyhavn Hotel, and you’ll wake up in the heart of the action, right on Copenhagen’s most famous canal.

      PRAGUE, THE CZECH REPUBLIC

      By Adriana from Czech the World

      Prague is one of those destinations that can be visited at any time, but winter has a magical atmosphere, especially because of the Christmas markets at the Old Town Square, one of the prettiest squares in Europe.

      And that’s not all, wintertime is usually less crowded, and you can easily stroll the romantic cobblestone streets with Gothic and Renaissance buildings where you can find lovely cafes or pubs with world-famous beer.

      Don’t forget to walk the Royal Route, which begins at Prague Castle – the largest historical Castle complex in Europe. Then, continue down to the Charles Bridge and the Old Town Square, where you’ll find the famous Astronomical Clock.

      If you are searching for the best places to stay in Prague, try Old Town Apartment Konviktska.

      Enjoy your winter stay and remember there are also other amazing places to visit in the Czech Republic.

      MUNICH, GERMANY

      By Stuart from Go Eat Do

      Germany is famed for Christmas markets and those held on Munich‘s central Marienplatz square warrant visiting during Advent.

      Public transport presents opportunities for a day trip skiing on the Zugspitze, Germany‘s highest mountain, or to enjoy the Alpine views and participate in the après ski.

      If the weather doesn’t warrant a trip to the Alps, Munich’s world-class museums make it worthwhile spending time in the Kunstareal art district, home to the Pinakothek art galleries.

      Science and technology lovers may prefer exploring the vast Deutsches Museum, which demonstrates equipment such as a Faraday Cage.

      Sipping a local beer in one of Munich’s beer cellars is a way of warming up after spending time outdoors sightseeing.

      A winter excursion to the Dachau Memorial, about 20 minutes from Munich’s central station, provides insights into the grimness of life in a Nazi-operated concentration camp.

      Complete your trip with a stay at the central family-run Hotel Eder.

      STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN

      By Jordan from Inspired by Maps

      Gorgeous, lively, and oh-so-cosmopolitan, Sweden’s capital Stockholm is a byword for hip and trendy — for a good reason!

      It is always fashionable, cool, and 100% welcoming, even in the depths of winter, making it such an excellent destination for a short winter city break in Europe.

      Suppose you are planning a visit to Stockholm in winter. In that case, you can go skiing on the slopes just outside the city, twirl around a classic ice-skating rink, or wander the Christmas Market at Drottningholm Palace.

      You can also just curl up inside a warm cafe with a mug of hot chocolate and watch the world go by.

      You’d think the city would be a frozen, dark place at this time of year, but instead, Stockholm in winter is full of twinkling lights, intimate pubs, and gratifying food.

      To make your stay extra magical, check into the regal Berns Hotel.

      PARIS, FRANCE

      By Linn of Brainy Backpackers

      One of the best European city breaks in winter is the city of love, Paris. Temperatures might drop to 3°C/37°F at nighttime, but with a warm winter coat, a beanie, and mittens, you’re set for the perfect Paris itinerary.

      Think Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and Sacre Cœur followed by a sunset boat trip in the Seine.

      Wander around the Christmas markets or try Vin Chaud, which is a winter specialty of warm red wine sweetened with sugar and infused with spices like cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom while orange slices and raisins give the extra flavor.

      Ice skate by the Eiffel Tower or walk along the illuminated Champs-Elysées during winter sales (but if you’re wondering what not to do in Paris – don’t feel like you have to actually shop there).

      Stay centrally at Elysées Union, book the floating hotel Hotel OFF Paris Seine for a unique experience, or look for hotels in Montmarte to stay in the most charming quarter.

      VIENNA, AUSTRIA

      The Austrian capital is known to be one of the best winter cities in Europe. Vienna in winter is utterly enchanting thanks to its Christmas markets and decorated streets, but you can also add plenty of other activities to your itinerary.

      These include ice-skating in the city hall square (on a rink that is open until March), attending the New Year’s Eve ball, enjoying the Philharmonic’s New Year’s concert, embracing the snow, and warming up at one of the city’s coffeehouses.

      Beyond these winter attractions, Vienna is the perfect destination for architecture, history, and culture lovers.

      From famous Austrian landmarks like the Schönbrunn Palace and St. Stephen’s Cathedral to unique architectural creations like the Hundertwasser House to more than a hundred museums, this beautiful city has it all.

      As for accommodation, I recommend searching for hotels outside the city center to save money.

      I loved my stay at the adorable Ibis Styles Wien City, but you can also check out my roundup of places to stay in Vienna or the best areas to stay in Vienna for Christmas markets.

      MILAN, ITALY

      The second-largest city in Italy and the capital of the Lombardy region, Milan is a magical winter destination in Europe, from which you can also take trips to places like Bergamo, Monza, Verona, Como, and many others.

      From high-end fashion boutiques and exquisite northern Italian food to architecturally and historically mesmerizing landmarks and amazing art galleries, Milan is a force to be reckoned with.

      Some of the top must-see places in the city include the medieval Sforzesco Castle, Duomo di Milano, La Scala opera house, and the UNESCO-listed Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, which houses Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper mural.

      In the winter, Milan wears an elegant festive look and hosts several visit-worthy Christmas markets, including the Oh Bej! Oh Bej! Fair, Artigiano in Fiera, and the Piazza Duomo Christmas market, which takes place around Milan’s most almighty landmark.

      To escape the weather, you can grab a cup of coffee and some pastries at a historic venue such as Cova or Taveggia, appreciate the art at Pinacoteca di Brera and Gallerie d’Italia, or wander through the infamous covered shopping arcade Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.

      For a central location, consider staying at the highly-rated Castello Guest House Milano.

      BUDAPEST, HUNGARY

      It’s so easy to fall in love with such a beautiful city like Budapest, and in winter, the festive atmosphere makes the Hungarian city even more charming and worth visiting.

      From some of the best (and most affordable) Christmas markets in Europe to an impressive 3D light show projected on St. Stephen’s Basilica to Europe’s largest ice rink, there’s plenty to do in Budapest in winter.

      When you feel the need to escape the weather, you can warm up at one of Budapest’s cozy cafes, visit a museum, soak yourself in the city’s thermal baths, and take a ride on an illuminated Christmas tram.

      You can also grab a drink at a ruin pub or stuff your face with warming street food like chimney cakes and lángos (deep-fried dough topped with sour cream and cheese – YUM).

      If you have any time left on your itinerary after enjoying some of these winter activities, you must visit iconic landmarks like the Parliament and Fisherman’s Bastion.

      Don’t forget to spice up your trip with Budapest’s hidden gems like the Museum of Sweets & Selfies or the city’s Roman ruins. Stay close to the Danube at Anabelle Bed and Breakfast.

      BRUSSELS, BELGIUM

      Looking for the best winter weekend getaways in Europe? Add Brussels to your bucket list.

      When the beautiful central square (the Grand Place) and the entire city center host the Winter Wonders events, you’ll be able to enjoy Brussels’s biggest Christmas market, Christmas parades, a Ferries wheel, an ice skating rink, and a huge illuminated Christmas tree.

      On New Year’s Eve, there’s also a magnificent firework display at the foot of the iconic Atomium, and in February, Brussels hosts a light festival called Bright, consisting of dozens of light installations scattered around the city.

      Your Brussels itinerary would not be complete without making up some time for all the delicious food and drinks. From mulled wine and Belgian beers to waffles and Frites (Belgian fries), these are exactly what you need to warm up on a cold winter day.

      For a great stay in central accommodation, book the Boutique Hotel Saint-Géry.

      EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND

      By Pauline from BeeLoved City

      If you are looking for a festive city break in Europe, Edinburgh will be the perfect destination. The best month to visit is December because you will be able to enjoy all the Christmas-related activities.

      The capital of Scotland is one of the friendliest cities in the world, and visiting it is always a good idea, but when winter comes around, it becomes particularly magical.

      The Christmas Market is one of the best in the UK and runs for 6 weeks before Christmas. It’s located in East Princes Street Gardens, just across from Waverley train station. It’s an excellent place to grab food and drink delicious mulled wine.

      Another popular activity amongst the locals is to go to the Dome in the New Town. This fancy cocktail bar always puts up incredible Christmas decorations.

      You will be able to see them from the street, but it’s well worth walking in so you can also see the Christmas tree.

      As Edinburgh has a small city center, joining a walking tour will be an excellent way to learn more about the city. If you are a Harry Potter fan, you will be happy to know that there are Harry Potter tours as well.

      Finally, make sure to visit Edinburgh Castle (the most famous landmark in the city) and head to the National Museum of Scotland if it gets a bit too cold. It’s free to visit, and you will find fantastic exhibitions.

      In terms of accommodation, opt for the Balmoral Hotel if you are looking for a luxury stay. If you are on a budget, St Christopher’s Inn is an excellent option.

      If the weather gets too unbearable, Berlin is home to plenty of museums and cozy cafes where you can warm up. As for accommodation, stay centrally at the ARCOTEL John F.



      BEST EUROPEAN WINTER CITY BREAKS: UNDERRATED WINTER DESTINATIONS

      BUCHAREST, ROMANIA

      By Emily from Wander-Lush

      From the castles and Saxon settlements of Transylvania through to the romantic architecture in the capital, snow seems to suit Romania to a T.

      If you’re not afraid of chilly weather during your city break, Bucharest in winter is a sight to behold.

      Ice crystals twinkle in the city’s parks and the many Art Nouveau facades look that much more beautiful dusted with powder.

      Take a walk through the old Mahallas to discover Bucharest’s Armenian and Jewish heritage, browse the Piata Obor market for apples and winter produce, and wander the snow-covered courtyard of Stavropoleos Monastery.

      If the weather is freezing, there are plenty of inside activities on offer too: Don’t miss a tour of the Palace of Parliament (one of the world’s largest buildings) or a trip to the much-Instagrammed Carturesti Carusel, one of Europe’s most beautiful bookshops.

      Romanian cuisine was made for filling winter bellies. A bowl of heart-warming sarmale (cabbage rolls) with a side of mamaliga, pillowy and buttery polenta, is enough to banish the cold.

      Caru’ cu Bere (‘the Beer Wagon’) is a German-style beer hall with live music that is particularly cozy in winter.

      At the end of it all, treat yourself with a spa day at Therme Bucharest, a massive sauna and thermal bath complex on the outskirts of the city.

      Filitti Boutique Hotel offers stylish, snug rooms in the city center. Amazing panoramic views of Bucharest’s snowy rooftops can be found from the sky bar.

      WARSAW, POLAND

      Polish winters are not easy to deal with, and there’s a slight chance you’ll turn into a popsicle, but if you’re up for the challenge, you’ll be rewarded with a magical winter wonderland in many cities in Poland.

      There are dozens of things to do in Warsaw throughout the year, but in winter, you get to marvel at the most incredible illuminated Christmas displays, wander through the Christmas markets, and go ice-skating in one of the rinks that dot the city.

      In case that’s not enough, one of Poland’s biggest landmarks, the Wilanow Palace, wears a festive look and is decorated with thousands of lights.

      If the weather becomes overwhelming, you can always warm up at a cafe with some hot chocolate (and you’d be surprised how good hot chocolate is in Poland), devour a hearty Polish meal at a cozy restaurant, or wander around the city’s amazing museums.

      Warsaw is also worth visiting because it’s a very-budget friendly city, and it’s easy to find central accommodations that are not too expensive like Oki Doki OLD TOWN

      RIGA, LATVIA

      By Caroline from CK Travels

      Riga, Latvia has a picturesque old town, which makes it a magical destination for a European break during the winter months.

      There are many things to do in Riga in the run-up to Christmas. One of the most popular attractions for both locals and tourists is the famous Christmas Markets.

      The city comes alive with pretty stalls selling local crafts, mulled wine, and Latvian cuisine, and many of the historic buildings in town are lit up with festive lights.

      As Riga is located in the chilly and snowy Baltics – there are heaps of fun winter activities you can enjoy outside of the old town. These include quad biking on a frozen lake, Husky dog-sledding, and even bobsledding!

      Highly-rated recommended hotels to stay in for your winter break include Dome Hotel & Spa and Hotel Neiburgs.

      TURIN, ITALY

      Turin is only starting to be discovered as a visit-worthy destination, and winter is one of the best seasons to see what it has to offer.

      Turin in December wears a relatively modest festive look, yet it’s hard to resist its Christmas markets and decorated streets and shops.

      If the weather gets too cold or rainy, warm up at Turin’s cozy historic cafes with a cup of Bicerin, wander its covered arcades, or visit its world-class museums and UNESCO-listed Savoy-family royal residences, including the Egyptian Museum and Palazzo Reale.

      When it comes to foodie things to do in Turin, you can immerse yourself in the aperitivo tradition (which was born in this city), stuff your face with northern Italian comfort food, and fill up your suitcase with mountains of chocolate-hazelnut sweet treats.

      The best area to stay in Turin is the historic center with highly-rated accommodations like Savoia Suites Torino, though the quiet neighborhood of Crocetta is also a great option (check out Liberty Hotel).

      Outside the city, the Alpine scenery in the region of Piedmont offers plenty of opportunities to engage in winter sports, from skiing to snowboarding to fat biking.

      GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN

      By Roshni from The Wanderlust Within

      Sweden’s second city, Gothenburg, makes for a great winter break.

      As well as the Paddan boat cruises along the city’s canals and the tropical palm house gardens, the most popular thing to do during winter is to visit the iconic Christmas Markets in Gothenburg.

      They are the largest in the country, and the most popular ones are inside Liseberg amusement park.

      Decorated with 5 million Christmas lights and countless trees, Liseberg is transformed into a winter wonderland, with rollercoasters for all ages, festive Christmas stalls, a traditional Christmas buffet dinner, a seasonal ice skating ballet show, and of course, Santa’s workshop.

      A visit to the Haga neighborhood is also a must, as it’s the perfect place to embrace the local fika culture (a Swedish tradition often translated to ‘a coffee and cake break’) with the largest cinnamon rolls in Sweden!

      Hotel Bellora is a great place to stay whilst in Gothenburg, as it’s centrally located and the buffet breakfast is incomparable.

      BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND

      By Allan from It’s Sometimes Sunny in Bangor

      Belfast, the quiet capital of Northern Ireland, is one of the lesser-known winter destinations in Europe, perfect to avoid holiday crowds.

      It is also an inexpensive city with lots to explore, starting at the Belfast Christmas Market at the center of the city beneath the backdrop of the majestic Belfast City Hall.

      The city is otherwise perfect for a short break being able to cover on foot, including the main tourist attractions, which leaves lots of time to immerse in the lively local ‘craic’ that the city is famous for.

      It is the seasonal celebrations that make Belfast a fantastic winter destination with so many cozy bars and pubs through the more exciting areas of the Cathedral Quarter and Botanic.

      For hotels, whether you’re spending only 2 days in Belfast or more, it is hard to see past the Grand Central Hotel for views from above, or the Titanic Hotel in the refurbished drawing rooms of the Titanic Quarter.

      LUXEMBOURG CITY, LUXEMBOURG

      A fun fact about Luxembourg – it is the second richest country in the world.

      Being Europe’s cultural and financial center, Luxembourg City is home to many museums, castles, beautiful hills, cuisines, and more, making it the perfect destination for you to visit during the wintertime!

      Winter makes the perfect time to visit this charming and tiny country of Europe, especially when the snow-covered castles and rolling hillsides are a treat to watch.

      Further, the chilly temperatures, few crowds, and cool breeze bring out the real spirit of tourism and let you experience Christmastime to the fullest.

      Additionally, there are plenty of things to do in Luxembourg City, including shopping in the annual Christmas Market, which is unarguably at the top of the list.

      The city hosts many antique street markets from November-January on account of Christmas, offering a plethora of items from Christmas embellishments to winter sweaters and hats for everybody!

      Otherwise, you can explore the amusement-park rides, go hiking, visit nearby valleys, and catch up on live performances in the evenings.

      Plus, you can relish the traditional dishes/drinks like Judd mat Gaardebounen at the food stalls.

      There are numerous luxurious and fabulous hotels in Luxembourg, like Sofitel Luxembourg Le Grand Ducal or Le Place d’Armes Hotel.

      LYON, FRANCE

      Lyon might be the 3rd-largest city in France and the country’s food capital, yet it remains an underrated gem.

      From Roman, medieval, and modern-time landmarks and fascinating museums to an abundance of parks and gardens and a thriving culinary scene, Lyon has it all.

      In winter, the main Christmas market is found at Place Carnot, decorations are on display, and the famous Fête des Lumières (Festival of Lights) takes place, featuring light shows illuminating the city’s landmarks, light installations, and much more.

      Be sure to wander through the old town (Vieux Lyon), photograph the city’s stunning murals, stroll around Parc de la Tête d’Or, admire the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, and try the local pink praline tart (Tarte Aux Pralines) at one of the many patisseries.

      If the weather is too cold to handle, engage in fun indoor activities like visiting the Musée des Beaux-Arts and Musée Lumière, having a meal at a Michelin-star restaurant, or grabbing a bite at the indoor food market Les Halles de Lyon – Paul Bocuse.

      Stay centrally at the highly-rated Une Nuit au Second.

      BAKU, AZERBAIJAN

      By Jiayi from The Diary of a Nomad

      One of the best cities to visit in Europe in winter is Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. This underrated destination doesn’t get a lot of tourists, making it the perfect spot for a unique city break without the crowds.

      Starting the month of December, the city center is filled with beautiful festive decorations and lights, and one of the areas where you’ll find them is Icherisheher (the Old City). There, you’ll see a Christmas market with a selection of local food and souvenirs.

      Another one of the best places to visit in Baku is Fountain Square, the liveliest part of town.

      During winter, you’ll see a big Christmas tree there surrounded by gorgeous festive lights. It’s the perfect place to take a stroll, especially because some of the best restaurants in town are there as well!

      Consider staying at Four Seasons Hotel Baku to get a beautiful view of the Old City from the rooms.

      ZAGREB, CROATIA

      By Dagney from Cultura Obscura

      Whether you are looking for a less crowded city break during the winter or a ski holiday with the family, Zagreb is the perfect option.

      You can get all the magic of the holidays in the heart of the city with Christmas markets and skating rinks.

      Alternatively, rent a car and drive out to Sljeme, the local ski mountain, or head out to Plitvice National Park to enjoy the frozen waterfalls.

      Winter in Zagreb can be unpredictable, though. Some years the city is coated in snow, while others it’s so sunny, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was summer – until you go outside, of course.

      Since temperatures get quite cold, winter is the perfect excuse to duck into one of many Zagreb cafes and get acquainted with the local coffee culture. Also, be sure to check out some of the city’s award-winning museums!

      I highly recommend staying at the fun and modern Art Hotel, conveniently located in the historic old town.

      BATH, ENGLAND

      By Nichola from Globalmouse Travels

      Spending a weekend in Bath is great at any time of the year, but the city really comes into its own in winter when most of the tourists have dissipated.

      Visiting the Thermae Spa pools is a real treat when the warm waters feel particularly decadent to relax in and see the tops of the houses around you.

      Winter is also the perfect time to walk along the canals here where the little boats moored up for the season puff out clouds of smoke to keep the residents inside warm.

      If you’re visiting Bath with kids, then they (and you) will love stepping into the historic Sally Lunn’s for buns and mugs of hot chocolate.

      Stay at the Bath Spa Hotel (and try their afternoon tea for a real treat too).

      LISBON, PORTUGAL

      By Cath from Passports and Adventures

      One of the top winter city breaks in Europe is the Portuguese capital of Lisbon. While Lisbon does have some Christmas markets such as the new Wonderland Lisboa, this is not the main reason to visit Lisbon in winter.

      With its milder winters than much of Northern Europe, it is the weather that is the draw for many visitors during the winter months.

      Pay a visit to the Castelo de Sao Jorge, the castle which gives stunning views across Lisbon, and wonder at the roofless Carmo Convent.

      Head to Belem and visit the famous Belem Tower and Jeronimo Monastery before hunting down some pasteis de nata, Portugal’s amazing custard tarts.

      If you are traveling as a family, some of the best things to do in Lisbon with kids include visiting the Oceanario de Lisboa, the zoo, and taking a ride on the famous Tram 28 line.

      Stay at the budget-friendly, centrally-located, and highly-rated GS Chiado Boutique Studios & Suites.

      TBILISI, GEORGIA

      By Kristin from Adventures with Ensuite 

      Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, also has a lot to offer during winter.

      Temperatures are around 0°C/32°F, but it is the driest time of year, so if you wrap up warm, it is an excellent time to explore the cozy cafes and atmospheric old town and enjoy the fabulous views over the city from Narikala hill.

      After a day or two in the capital, there are many good day trip options.

      The most popular are Kazbegi in the Caucasus mountains (for fabulous mountain views and skiing in nearby Gudauri), Sighnaghi, a pretty hill town in the wine region, and the Stalin Museum in Gori.

      Tbilisi has accommodation across all pricing brackets. Fabrika is one of the most popular hostels and is also a good place for a drink. At the other end of the scale is the boutique Rooms Hotel.

      MALAGA, SPAIN

      By Joanna from Andalucia in my Pocket

      If you are looking for something different, Malaga (southern Spain) is a great destination for a warm winter getaway.

      Whilst you won’t find Christmas markets or mulled wine because the temperatures are too high to properly enjoy them, you will discover a fantastic Christmas lights display, with tunnels of lights that cover the entire Calle Larios.

      Most of the time, the special guest that turns on the Christmas lights is local resident Antonio Banderas, so save the date and include it in your Malaga itinerary if you want to see the famous actor.

      Usually, winter in Malaga is quite mild, especially in December, with temperatures that reach 15°C/59°F.

      Whilst it is not warm enough for suntanning, you can still enjoy a glass of wine and a portion of fritura Malaguena at one of the bars in the harbor or on the beach.

      A great hotel in Malaga, much cheaper in winter, is AC Marriott.

      ZURICH, SWITZERLAND

      By Alyse from The Invisible Tourist

      With a compact city center featuring many art galleries, historical museums, and Roman history to uncover, creating a Zurich itinerary is a must when visiting Switzerland.

      It’s one of the best European cities to visit in winter, as many visitors to the country during this time are off in the snowfields rather than in Zurich’s Old Town.  

      Step back in time in Zurich’s oldest Roman neighborhood of Schipfe, admire panoramic views of the city from Lindenhof Hill, take a look at Europe’s largest clock face at St Peterskirche, and marvel at the colorful facades of medieval buildings along Austinergasse.

      If your visit coincides with the festive season, enjoy traditional Christmas Markets in the heart of the Old Town. The Dorfli Markets are the oldest in the city and are beautifully illuminated by glowing decorations at night.

      Zurich is only a 15-minute train ride from the airport, and the Hotel Scheuble is in a wonderful central location!

      OSLO, NORWAY 

      By Sean & Sabine from The Travelling Chilli

      Oslo may not be most people‘s obvious choice for a winter city break, however, the capital city of Norway has a lot to offer visitors during winter.

      Apart from snow-covered streets adorned with fairy lights and Christmas decorations, Oslo offers lots of other winter activities.

      One day you can immerse yourself in the local culture, admire the inner city architecture around Karl Johann Gate and soak up the magic of the Christmas markets, while the next day you can explore the slopes close to the city center while skiing, snowboarding, or sledding.

      You can also visit the Holmenkollen ski jump, which was used during the Olympic Winter Games of 1952.

      Don’t forget to put Vigeland Park on your list, which is the world’s largest sculpture park. It offers some amazingly dramatic statues which look even more surreal when covered with snow and frost in wintertime.

      For relatively budget-friendly accommodation, choose to stay at the central Citybox Oslo.

      ATHENS, GREECE

      By Lynne from Well-Caffeinated Traveller

      Athens, the capital of Greece, is one of the oldest cities in the world, and one of the best cities in Europe to visit in winter. It is a vibrant city that is full of life, energy, and friendly people.

      It offers a great mix of ancient history and modern art and architecture, and its prime Mediterranean location means it stays warm even in the winter. In fact, temperatures can reach as high as 18°C/64°F in November and December.

      The Periscope Hotel, located in the center of Athen’s hip Kolonaki district, is the perfect base for exploring the city.

      Spend the day exploring the ancient acropolis and surrounding Plaka district, shopping at one of the city’s amazing flea markets, or just indulging in the incredible Greek food.

      Don’t miss these 9 things you must do in Athens, Greece. You can thank me later!

      MADRID, SPAIN

      By Becki from Meet Me In Departures

      If you’re looking for bright blue skies and sunny days with the crisp chill in the air, you should certainly consider visiting Madrid in winter (fun fact: there’s a novel set in Spain called ‘Winter in Madrid’).

      The Spanish city is typically known as a spring or summer destination, however, visiting out of season, you’ll find fewer crowds and cheaper prices.

      If you’re an art lover, then I’d certainly recommend Museo Nacional del Prado and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, as well as other museums in Madrid.

      For an interesting insight into Madrid’s bygone era, then check out Platform 0 at Chamberí Station. The abandoned station features tiles, posters, and fittings from the 1960s and before.

      If you’re visiting Madrid in the lead-up to Christmas, you’ll find decorations, lights, and displays donning every wall, lamppost, shop window, and town hall as well as pop-up Christmas markets.

      If you’re in Madrid for New Years’, be sure to take part in the 12 grapes tradition, when you eat one grape every time the clock chimes at midnight.

      As for accommodation, Hostal Alexis is perfectly located near the lovely Plaza de Santa Ana.

      ANDORRA LA VELLA, ANDORRA

      By Stephanie from History Fangirl

      The country of Andorra is a popular winter destination in Europe, but too many skip the country’s capital of Andorra La Vella and head straight to the slopes. However, this tiny capital has a fun mix of history, art, and relaxation. 

      A typical day in Andorra La Vella in winter starts with a self-guided walking tour of the historic district of the city, followed by a stop at the Salvador Dali statue and a delicious lunch before heading to the spa to soak up and warm up for the rest of the day.

      Of course, Christmas is a festive time, but Andorra La Vella is a great winter trip during the whole winter season.

      For budget accommodations, stay at the Hostal Cisco de Sans. If you’re looking for a more upscale experience, check out the Arka Hotel.

      REYKJAVIK, ICELAND

      By Ryan from Passions and Places

      Few travelers choose winter for their Reykjavik vacation; it’s cold, it’s dark for nineteen hours a day, and it’s very rainy.

      But what Icelandic winters lack in good weather, they make up for with fewer crowds, cheaper accommodations, and the chance to experience what few tourists ever do.

      Iceland’s capital is known for being expensive, but colder temperatures reveal great deals, like the Kex Hostel, where you can snag a bed for less than $40 in the winter.

      While the Blue Lagoon is one of Reykjavik’s biggest attractions, it doesn’t come cheap.

      If you want to save money while soaking in a hot spring, try the Laugardalslaug instead. The thermally-heated pools feel great and look amazing under the ever-present night sky.

      Then, head to happy hour at a bar on the city’s main street, Laugavegur. Beers are often two for the price of one – a real deal when one drink can set you back $10.

      NAPLES, ITALY

      By Eric from Food and Drink Destinations

      World-renowned as the birthplace of pizza, Naples, offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy the city all year round and is one of the best places to visit in Italy in winter.

      For nature and history lovers, Naples is the jumping-off point to visit Mount Vesuvius and the ancient city of Pompeii. Both are easily reached by public transportation.

      Aside from tracking down the best pizza in Naples, the city is a food traveler’s dream. The food in Naples is seasonal.

      During winter, you’ll enjoy dishes only available for this short period. Make sure to try mustaccioli, a mouthwatering candied fruit covered in chocolate and honey.

      In between tasty bites, Naples is loaded with museums, churches, and unique sites to visit. A mix of an art museum and an ancient burial site, one site not to skip is the San Gennaro Catacombs.

      If you are looking for a place to stay, the Hotel Napoli on the Palazzo Turchini is a great hotel with amazing views of the city.

      SOFIA, BULGARIA

      By Rose from Where Goes Rose

      Sofia is one of Europe’s most underrated capital cities for a winter visit. It’s a small, friendly city with a mix of cultures from orthodox Christian to Jewish.

      In recent years, the hipster scene is slowly evolving with coffee shops emerging beside traditional Bulgarian restaurants.

      As well as visiting the German Christmas Market, you can visit the largest open-air ice rink in the Balkans, which is in fact a frozen lake.

      There are also plenty of intriguing indoor museums like the Red Flat, which is a recreation of a communist flat with a chance to learn about the era via a storytelling headset.

      Even though it will be icy cold, there are few Bulgarian views as stunning as Seven Rila Lakes, two hours from Sofia, covered in snow. You can hike in this period despite the chilly temperatures and admire stunning frozen glacial lakes.

      Warm yourself up when you arrive back in Sofia by trying the national dessert mekitsa, fried dough served with icing sugar and jam.

      Hostel Mostel is the most popular place to stay in Sofia. Once an old coaching inn for weary travelers, its purpose isn’t so different today. As the friendliest hostel in the city, it offers two free daily meals as well as group tours and bar crawls.

      Where to go to rest on the February holidays. Where will the Russians go for the February holidays. Tours for February

      So the new year has passed. There are still 2 months of winter left. But these will be tough months. How to spend them in order to take a break from snow, blizzards and cold weather? Let’s figure out where you can go for the February holidays of 2017 to relax. In principle, you can stay at home and spend time in front of the TV. But will this be of any use? So let’s get some rest before the long summer season!

      From harsh winter to warm sand.

      Yes, in February you can not only bask near the radiator, but also bask in the sun, lying on the sand. Where is this possible? Like Goa! This is the closest resort to our country, and at the same time it is cheap. Goa will meet you with warm sun, air temperature up to +35 degrees and gentle sea.
      There are other destinations that are as warm as Goa. True, these places are far from our country, and a trip to them is quite expensive. But still, we will tell you which countries they are.

      First, the Maldives, which are beautiful at any time of the year. Clear water, corals, houses on the coast and even in the ocean! The Maldives is a heavenly place to relax.
      In no way inferior to the Maldives and the Seychelles. The islands are just as beautiful. The same clear water, palm trees on the shore and constant sun. White sand and everything is crazy. Having visited the Seychelles, you will want to stay here forever.

      Excursions in February.

      In Europe, the last month of winter is not so cold. In some countries, even the positive temperature and the cities “come to life”. It is in February that it is best to go to Europe on excursions. For example, you can go to Italy to Rome or Milan. Naples will also welcome you warmly.
      If you prefer “old” Europe, then visit the Czech Republic and in particular Prague. At this time of the year, it just “thaws” from winter and becomes amazingly beautiful.

      But it is better not to go to Austria, France and other ski countries and resorts. For ski lovers, the season is just coming to an end, and they strive to ride for the whole summer. Therefore, all resorts in these countries will be packed with tourists with skis.

      Where to go to improve your health?

      Winter is coming to an end. You are tired, your body needs vitamins and rest. It’s time for you to visit Israel or Jordan! In these countries, there are a huge number of SPA salons, medical hotels and there is a dead sea that heals!

      The end of winter and the beginning of spring are getting closer and closer. But first, we will all celebrate the February holiday, namely February 23rd. As always, we will have a long weekend that we need to fill with something. For example, you can go abroad to the sea or visit ancient castles in Europe. And where do you want to go for the February holidays of 2017? Still have not decided? Then see our options and choose the one that suits you best.

      Visit ancient castles!

      Most of our tourists go abroad to lie on the beach and soak in the warm water. And don’t we have this? But tourists from Europe prefer beach holidays, sightseeing holidays! They travel from country to country and visit ancient castles. And some castles are over five hundred years old!
      So if you don’t really like just lounging on the beach, then excursions to ancient castles are for you. Moreover, you can not only visit the castles, but also live in them! Almost all castles offer tourists not only sightseeing, but also housing and entertainment programs! Just imagine that you will sleep in a bedroom where once three hundred years ago kings and queens lived!
      You can also enjoy beautiful views and landscapes near the castles. After all, all castles have their gardens, forests and even ponds with birds. So do not miss the opportunity to visit the place where European civilization was born. And you can always go to the beach.

      Have you decided to choose a beach after all?

      If you still chose the beach, then in February there are not so many places for such a holiday. For example, you can visit Goa, where the beach season is in full swing. The air temperature is above +30 degrees, and the water does not fall below +27 degrees.
      If Goa does not suit you, then you can fly away, somewhere in the Caribbean. And there is plenty to choose from: Cuba, Maldives, Seychelles. ..
      All these tourist countries and islands will welcome you with open arms. Everywhere is beautiful, sunny and unusually fabulous. They differ only in price. For example, vacationing in Cuba is cheaper than on the islands.

      For treatment in February!

      If after a long winter you feel that your body is weakened and lacks vitamins, then go to Israel or Bulgaria for treatment. These countries have wonderful medical resorts and excellent spas. You can get treatment in them, and then take a walk in the mountains or on the sea.
      You will be surrounded everywhere with fresh air, which is easy to breathe and makes your head spin.

      If you meet February 23 in some memorable place, then you will discuss this holiday for a very long time. The main thing is to have money in your wallet. And to choose a country or a place now, in principle, is not problematic. If you are thinking about where to go on vacation on February 23, 2016, then look at several options for an exciting winter trip to different countries and financial opportunities.

      It is clear that the holiday falls in the winter. People are looking forward to summer and warmth. Therefore, many come to some warm country where you can swim and sunbathe.

      We suggest you go to Thailand:

      • Just in February the temperature there is about 25 degrees Celsius. Gentle sun, beautiful places, delicious foreign cuisine – what could be more pleasant? We can say that in winter you can buy a tour inexpensively.

      If you are still thinking where to go in February, then the United Arab Emirates will do:

      • Beautiful places, exotic culture, many historical monuments, you can also see the underwater world. However, it is worth noting that it is quite expensive there. So think about whether you can afford it. It should be noted that in February there is one festival in Dubai, and you can get to it.

      United Arab Emirates

      Mysterious India with its beauty is at your service:

      • You can see Delhi and live in Goa. The season just ends in February. Elephants, soft sand, warm sun, amazing cuisine – all this can be found there.

      Cuba:

      • Do you think where you can go on holiday on February 23 and have a cool holiday? Travel to Cuba. There are very beautiful flora and fauna, many interesting sights. You will surely find something to see.

      Video report: a trip to Cuba

      Seychelles, Bora Bora, Jamaica:

      • If you have money, then go to the Seychelles or Bora Bora. There are many more places, such as Jamaica.

      If you want to visit the winter resorts on February 23, go somewhere in Europe. February is the last winter month. And since mostly tourists come for Christmas, then there are much fewer of them. As a result, the cost of tickets is significantly reduced.

      Poland:

      • We offer you the city of Zakopane. It is located in Poland. There are many different programs, skiers here will find well-prepared slopes.

      Zakopane in Poland

      Italy:

The Russians will rest for four days on this holiday, and this is quite enough to go somewhere on vacation. In fact, there are many options to relax in February, but not all of them will suit you. Still, four days is both a lot and a little. You won’t fly far, but you can rest close only in Russia. We will consider options for where to go for the February holidays 2020 in Russia or in Europe. And we will also tell you where the warm sea is so that you can swim at the end of winter.

      In February to Europe.

      At the end of winter in Europe there are no countries where you can swim in the sea. Even warm Spain and Portugal will not please you with warm sea and heat. But you can sunbathe in these countries. In the resorts of Spain, especially in the south, it is already warm in spring. And the air is warmed up to +25 degrees. And in some resorts and cities of Portugal, everything is +30 at all, but the sea is still cold and even in such weather it is better not to go into it.

      The ski season continues in Europe. The snow in the mountains does not think to melt, and tourists are in no hurry to leave the slopes of the Alps. The most favorite place for skiing from the mountain is Austria. It is followed by France and Croatia. The ski resorts of these countries are always full of tourists and local vacationers. If you like silence and want to ride in a more relaxed environment, then you can visit Andorra. A small country does not receive many tourists, and it is calm and beautiful here. The only drawback in Andorra is the high prices. Since the country is small, it does not receive too many guests, and strive to earn as much as possible from them.

      In some European countries, early spring already begins in February. True, the meadows and flowers are not blooming yet, but you already feel warm and the sun warms differently, not like in winter. In February, you can go on an excursion to Europe to Austria or Germany and see ancient castles. Most tourists at this time of the year settle in mountain hotels, so hotels in cities are empty and not very expensive. All tourists in the mountains are on the slopes, and you can enjoy walks in quiet ancient cities, visit castles and have a good time.

      Italy is also suitable for excursions. And if you choose the south of the country, you can enjoy the warm sun and see how gardens and flowers begin to bloom in the cities.

      Don’t forget that you need a Schengen visa to visit Europe. Find out how much it costs and how to get it in the shortest possible time.

      In February at sea.

      There are not so many countries at the end of winter. Where can you really swim in the sea. These countries are located in southern Asia and the Caribbean. Almost 99% of Russians choose Asia, as there are fewer flights here, and vacations are cheaper.
      Peak tourist season in Thailand. The temperature reaches its maximum and becomes +35 and above. The sea is a little short of the same indicators and warmed up to +29. The nights are hot and muggy, so choose an air-conditioned hotel room to sleep peacefully and not suffer.

      Do not discount Goa, where it is also hot and sunny. In February, the resorts of Goa are overcrowded with tourists. People fly here from all over the world to get to the gorgeous white sand beaches. If you decide to visit an Indian state in February, then you should book your ticket in advance, otherwise you can either overpay or not get into the country at all.

      Another place for a beach holiday in February is Vietnam. The coast of the country attracts more and more tourists every year. Firstly, it is very beautiful here and the vast majority of beaches are made by nature, not by man. Secondly, holidays in the country are cheap, and even a luxury hotel can be afforded by almost all tourists. And thirdly, these days the weather here is excellent, there is no rain, and the sun shines for 12 hours a day.

      In February in Russia.

      In Russia in February there are blizzards, a lot of snow falls and there may still be severe frosts. Nevertheless, in the last month of winter, you can relax in our country.
      For example, visit the Altai mountains, enjoy the beauty of winter. In Altai, almost all resorts are in the mountains, where there is fresh air and no noise from big cities. The following activities are available for you: dog sledding, fishing, hiking in the mountains and forests, snowmobiling and hunting.

      If you like old Russian cities, then go to Yaroslavl or Kostroma. These cities have many ancient churches, villages and sights. And in general, a tour along the Volga is a very interesting idea. You will come across such beauty on the way that you will want to return here again and again.

      February is far from being the most popular month for traveling to other countries, because the New Year holidays and school holidays are behind us, and summer is not going to come yet. But do not despair, because the crowds of annoying tourists managed to leave the beaches, and the prices in the last winter month are very economical. Some tourists go to explore Asia, others travel to European countries.

      Snowy and cold February drives the inhabitants of our countries to hot lands, to the sea or ocean. If you decide to go to it is worth thoroughly considering the region to visit. After all, the weather will directly depend on the region of the country. Experts advise purchasing vouchers to the southeastern regions or nearby islands. Or would be an excellent choice. Not a bad alternative would be, or. During this period, there is not much precipitation, the sea is calm and warm, and the sun has managed to warm the air up to 26 degrees. At night, the thermometer does not drop below 20 degrees.

      In any case, February is an amazing month that will give you both a beach holiday on the sea coast and luxurious ski tours with good snow cover. This is the month of romance, which is able to give a vacation outside the country without a large influx of tourists.

      Where to find the sun in Europe in winter, Malta

      The idea of ​​spending the winter in Europe is not such a bad idea: frosty forest trails, snow-covered mountains and cozy log cabins all sound tempting. But when the reality lies in perpetually gray skies, scorching winds and sleet of nasty snow, there is a desire to consider warmer holiday options.
      And you don’t have to travel too far. Of course, there are no tropical temperatures in Europe, but the southern part of the continent will delight you with clear blue skies and sunny weather. In addition, traveling outside the traditional season means low cost accommodation and car rental services. At the same time, beaches and local attractions will be free from crowds of tourists.

      Already feeling enthusiastic?

      Our list will help you save yourself from frost even under the European sun.

      Malta

      Malta is very hot in the summer, so the cooler winter days (temperatures rarely drop below +10, but mostly stay in the 12-14 degrees region) are ideal for exploring the local nature. Rock climbing and hiking are especially attractive as the countryside retains a green appearance.
      Connoisseurs of history and culture will be happy to catch the sunrise during the winter solstice at the megalithic temple of Mnajdra. At this time, the sun illuminates a strictly defined area of ​​the temple. If you like night parties and parades, you should pay attention to the Malta Carnival, which takes place in February.
      What to do if it rains:
      When looking for shelter, choose something stylish. For example, take a look at the Cathedral of St. John in Valletta (the town is included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites). Here you can not only wait out the rain, but also enjoy the magnificent interiors in the Baroque style.

      Cyprus

      With 340 days of sunshine a year, Cyprus is the perfect place to find a warm winter. While there may be snow on the top of the Troodos mountain (note to skiers), the coastal zone, especially in the eastern part, remains warm and dry.
      Stop by Larnaca and you will see dancing flamingos on the nearby salt lake (here the birds spend the winter). Next, head west for a number of historical sites such as the Tombs of the Kings and the ancient city of Kourion.
      What to do if it rains:
      A rainy day is worth spending among the historical finds of the Cyprus Museum in Nicosia, and you can also have a long Cypriot feast in one of the cozy taverns.

      Algarve, Portugal

      The Algarve is a region of Portugal that is growing in popularity among tourists. This is probably due to the fact that 300 days a year are sunny here, and there are 87 beaches nearby. In winter, the waterfalls of Monchique’s eucalyptus mountains come to life, migratory birds flock to the Ria Formosa Natural Park, and the popular Quinta do Lago beach is blissfully quiet.
      If the +14 temperature doesn’t scare you, winter is the time for surfing. Golf enthusiasts will also enjoy a wide range of courses. We strongly recommend working up an appetite before heading to the establishments of the snow-white towns of Faro, Lagos or Tavira.
      What to do when it rains:
      The interior of the church of São Lourenço near Loulé is an azulejo (Portuguese tile) dream: ornate blue tiles cover nearly every inch of floor-to-ceiling surface.

      Crete, Greece

      You may have to fly through Athens in winter to get to Crete. Many resort towns will be practically deserted. Stop in Heraklion or Chania to get a taste of the off-season (and try to find an open-air restaurant) before renting a car and exploring the island.
      You may find that the pink sands of Elafonisi and the palace of Knossos are at your disposal. In January, the temperature can reach +16 degrees, but the nights are noticeably colder, so you should take warm clothes with you. If you still continue to freeze, a bottle of local vodka (“raki”) will undoubtedly improve the situation.
      What to do if it rains:
      Explore five thousand years of history at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, one of the best museums in Greece.

      Sicily, Italy

      Winter is a vibrant season in Sicily: citrus trees are hung with ripe oranges, lemons and limes; stalls in the food markets of Catania and Palermo are bursting with fresh vegetables, fish and walnuts; while the people all over the island are mass preparing for the Carnival. The weather can change rapidly, but given the eight-hour sunny day and twice the temperature in the south of Central Russia, it’s worth the risk.
      What to do if it rains:
      Villa del Casale offers the most interesting collection of Roman floor mosaics in the world. At the same time, the new wooden roof reliably protects the collection (and you) from the vagaries of the weather.

      Seville, Spain

      If you want to spend the winter in the city, choose Seville. The temperature here often reaches +17 degrees, and the minimum length of a sunny day is 6 hours. However, just in case, you should take an umbrella with you.
      The main sights of the city – the Spanish Square and the Alcazar of Seville – have both indoor and outdoor areas. This allows you to enjoy the sun or hide from the rain, depending on the situation.
      Be sure to take a sunset walk along the modern construction of the Metropol Parasol (among the locals it is known as “Las Setas” – “Mushrooms”).
      What to do if it rains:
      Join a tour of the Seville Cathedral and see the tomb of Christopher Columbus. It is also worth visiting the Flamenco Dance Museum, where you can take a couple of lessons or watch the performances of professionals.

      Madeira

      Madeira is a remote Portuguese island located near the Canary Islands and known for its “eternal spring”. Mild winters are the norm, as temperatures rarely drop below 14 degrees. The local beaches are mostly rocky, but the water is warm, so bring your swimsuit (or go on a whale and dolphin watching tour).
      If you prefer to be on land, Madeira’s mountainous terrain is ideal for hiking. Follow the Levada route – this ancient network of canals has carried water throughout the island for centuries, and is still used as a source of hydroelectric power.
      What to do if it rains:
      You can drink tea in a cozy atmosphere, contemplating the drops outside the window. Churchill and Roger Moore (one of the James Bonds) liked Belmond Reid’s Palace in Funchal, why don’t you look here too?

      Turquoise Coast, Turkey

      The Turquoise Coast is a tourist magnet in the summer (probably has something to do with the color of the water), but in the winter the crowd dissipates and there is no one here but you, amazing views and long daylight hours at 10 o’clock.
      Moderate temperatures mean that hiking in winter is much easier than in August – so why not take part of the famous Lycian Way (its total length is 540 km). The route runs from Fethiye to Antalya, passing countless ancient ruins and rocks. On the way, you can see the ruins of the city of Kayakoy, the ancient settlement of Patara and part of the sunken city of Simena.
      What to do if it’s raining:
      Warm up and rest your feet in the amazing Turkish baths (hammam), which can be found in any more or less large settlement.

      Balearic Islands, Spain

      The Spanish islands are extremely popular in the summer, but they are also of interest in the off-season.
      In winter, the dance parties of Ibiza are left behind, but the amazing sunsets and beaches are not going anywhere, and the cultural capital of Mallorca becomes quieter and cheaper. The less visited Menorca is interesting for its natural beauties and weather ideal for hiking (we especially recommend the Camí de Cavals coastal path). In the tiny village of Formentera, everyone will find true solitude.
      What to do if it’s raining:
      Since you’ll get wet anyway, wouldn’t it be better to go scuba diving? The temperature of the sea water allows you to dive into local caves and shipwrecks all year round.

      Canary Islands

      Interested in sandy beaches, hidden caves, volcanic national parks and forested mountains? What about vibrant villages, inviting restaurants and ample watersports opportunities?
      All this is available in the Canary Islands all year round.
      Tenerife and Gran Canaria are usually the warmest of the islands in winter (up to +22 degrees). Lanzarote and Fuerteventura can get a little windy, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing as there is a kite festival in November.
      Lesser known islands – Gomera, Palma and Hierro – will seem even more deserted than usual.
      What to do if it’s raining:
      Let the weather slow it down a bit – book a massage, take a tour of a local vineyard or stop by a bar for a local wine tasting.

      The abnormal heat that comes to the Old World every summer is becoming one of the main problems of Europeans.

      Zuma\TASS

      Meteorologists are trying to reduce the use of the word “anomalous” in their forecasts. Abnormal heat ceases to be more and more abnormal, different from the norm, which means the word “abnormal”, and more and more becomes normal. Perhaps the Europeans are not entirely right, because it is getting hotter everywhere, but it seems to them that they suffer most from the abnormal summer heat that comes to the continent every summer like clockwork.

      The Eurobarmeter survey, though conducted before 24 February, shows that Europeans consider climate change to be the most important issue facing humanity today. This point of view is shared by 93% of the respondents on the continent.

      This year was no exception. The heat came to Europe with the beginning of summer, but the hottest month seems to be July again. The only thing that Europeans have to console themselves with now is that the thermometers are approaching the 50-degree mark, yet not on the entire continent, but only in its individual parts. Mostly southern.

      Last weekend, perhaps the hottest place in the Old World was Portugal, where the Saharan heat came with a 46-degree temperature. Of course, the Portuguese will not be afraid of high temperatures, but now, according to meteorologists, the temperature in the country, and not in certain areas, but almost throughout, is at least five degrees higher than normal.

      Weather forecast is disappointing – Portugal will remain the hottest place in Europe in the next couple of weeks. The thermometer is predicted to be well above 40 degrees. Forecasters explain the July heat wave with hot air that came from North Africa, where, by the way, as you might guess, it is even hotter.

      Southern Europe is as hot as usual – temperatures in Spain, Italy and Greece are well above 30 degrees but still cooler than in Portugal. If for southerners the extreme temperature is above 40 degrees, then in the north of the continent, less accustomed to heat, this is the weather when the thermometers rise above 30 degrees. The British are now, for example, in a quandary. They don’t know if it’s okay to call the weather “anomalous” these days. In foggy Albion, the thermometer is now hovering around 30 degrees.
      The heat wave is not limited to forest fires, a sharp increase in the consumption of electricity, which is now in short supply on the continent; and, of course, an increase in the number of deaths associated with high temperatures, especially among the elderly. Abnormal heat in the truest sense of the word is changing Europe. This is evidenced, for example, by the recent collapse of a huge melted glacier in the Italian Alps, which claimed the lives of at least 7 people. The tragedy occurred, by the way, a day after the record high temperature in the mountains – 10 degrees.

      In France, the largest grain producer in the European Union, this year’s heat and accompanying droughts, just as they did in the past, have an extremely negative effect on the harvest. Already on May 16, experts said that this year’s wheat harvest will be 27% lower than average due to adverse weather conditions. Naturally, 35-degree heat is not the most favorable conditions for ripening a good harvest.
      Not only French, but also Italian farmers complain about the heat. In the Po Valley region, the main agricultural region of the country, in addition to the heat, the worst drought in 70 years. According to experts, it can reduce the harvest this year by 30%. A state of emergency has been declared in five regions in northern Italy. Weather forecasters predict 38 degrees and above for many areas on the peninsula for the coming weekend.

      The upcoming weekend will be especially hot in most of Europe. Forecasters warn of new records, or rather anti-records. In France, by the way, in June the weather has already updated heat records in 11 regions. On July 9 and 10, the thermometer can rise, according to weather forecasts, up to 42 ° C.

      Do not surprise anyone in Europe, especially in the south and forest fires. This summer is no exception. In Spain, fires have already destroyed approximately 9,000 hectares of forests. And this is just the beginning of fire season.

      In Greece, the most difficult fire situation is now in the north of the Peloponnese, where, due to the raging fire, residents of dozens of villages and settlements had to be evacuated.
