You either love winter or hate it. Some people like to embrace this time of year due to the numerous festivities that are celebrated around this time. However, some like to use this time to travel and take breaks away with their family. If the latter sounds like your cup of tea, you have a choice to make. You can either find the sun or enjoy what winter has to offer in some other countries, where it seems to be much more magical, yet colder. Right now holidays (or the current lack of) might be on your mind and that is understandable. With the worry that a summer holiday may not be on the cards, you might be thinking about winter holidays and where you could visit.
Restrictions seem to be lifting and with air bridges between different countries, there is a strong possibility that a winter holiday could be on the cards. If you want/are able to take one of course. With that in mind, here are some of the best locations that you could travel to during the winter. We hope some will inspire you to make a booking for the future.
Keep the magic alive during the festive season by heading to Lapland
During the winter months, it’s natural for your mind to wander to Christmas (if you celebrate it of course. For children that will mean a visit from Father Christmas if they happen to be on the nice list. While many families will visit a grotto of some sort, why not head to where the magic really happens? Book a trip to Lapland! Not only will you get to visit the main man himself, but you could also experience some amazing things Lapland has to offer. This includes activities such as sleigh rides and witnessing the northern lights.
It could be a truly memorable holiday your whole family will love and an epic winter holiday full of snow and magic. What are you waiting for? End the year in style with a trip to see Father Christmas himself.
Experience lots of winter fun in France
Let’s be honest, winter can be a little wet and miserable depending where you live. But visiting countries like France means you could experience winter in all its glory. Snow and all. France has much to offer. You could consider hiring a cottage where all the family could stay. You could indulge in evenings all wrapped up around the log fire. Or head to the slopes for some skiing action where you can hire ski chalets. Chalets are perfect for everyone to enjoy and relax in after a full day on the slopes.
Thankfully, many resorts offer ski schools for younger children and even creche facilities. Perfect if you want to enjoy some of the faster slopes without the kids in tow. There is so much to enjoy on a holiday in the snow and in the mountains, so even if skiing isn’t your thing, you could try sledging or even snowboarding. The options are endless.
Head for some sun by taking a trip of a lifetime to Australia
If the sun is what you are after, and it is currently winter, then why not head to a country that is just about to experience Summer? Have you guessed where you could go? Australia has the season at the opposite end to us here in the UK, due to being in the Southern Hemisphere, so it’s possible to experience a full-on summer holiday by heading somewhere like that.
Australia has much to offer any family, from beach filled days at Bondi beach to a great city vibe in the city of Melbourne. You won’t be disappointed, but it could be a long way to go, so ensure you plan this trip to make the most of your time. This is certainly a trip that could be one to tick off the bucket list, so it may be worth ensuring that you are comfortable travelling that far at the time. But if not for this year, it could certainly be a future winter holiday idea to aim for.
Enjoy a city break away to Estonia
If you want to embrace the festive spirit whole-heartedly then head to a country that knows how to put on a Christmas market, such as Estonia. Rich in culture with a relaxed vibe, it will be impossible to not feel ready for Christmas once you have visited this place. It could be the ideal getaway for just a few days outside of the normal routine and a welcome break to enjoy without you feeling like you are away from home for too long.
So there you have it, some winter holidays that you could potentially try later this year. Let’s hope we have inspired you.
