Where to travel in winter

25 March 2026

Winter invites you to travel in two very different ways, either leaning into the season or leaving it behind entirely. You could swap grey skies for Southern Hemisphere sunshine in Australia, Chile, or New Zealand. Or, if you’re drawn to winter at its most atmospheric, there’s skiing in Canada and Italy, wildlife-rich journeys to Antarctica, and vibrant city breaks in Singapore during Lunar New Year.

’Tis the season to get away in December

December is a month of contrast. While winter settles across much of the Northern Hemisphere, summer takes hold further south in Australia, bringing long beach days and open road adventures. At the same time, snow transforms mountain landscapes into playgrounds for skiers and snowboarders in Canada.

If you’re wondering where to travel in December, this is a month when you can choose between sun-drenched coastlines, festive sailing conditions or crisp alpine air.

New year, new horizons in January

January is a month of contrast. Across much of Europe, days are short and temperatures low, yet elsewhere it’s peak season for sunshine, wildlife and once in a lifetime journeys. If you’re wondering where to travel in January, this is the time to think beyond the obvious. It’s high summer in Antarctica, dry season across parts of Southeast Asia like Thailand and Barbados in the Caribbean, and comfortably warm in the Arabian Gulf.

Winter your way in February

February is a month of variety. While winter continues across much of Europe, you can find late summer warmth in the Southern Hemisphere, thriving Costa Rican wildlife in Central America and the Caribbean, and Italian Alpine resorts in full swing. Whether you’re planning an active escape or picking out the best places to visit in February for warmth and atmosphere, these seasonal contrasts make it a wonderful month to travel.

5 European beaches you'll mistake for the Caribbean

07 July 2026

When you think of powder-soft white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water, the Caribbean is probably one of the first places that comes to mind. But you don't always have to travel halfway around the world to find those postcard-perfect beaches. Across Europe, you'll find hidden bays, secluded coves, and stretches of coastline where the sea shimmers in every shade of blue. Some are tucked beneath dramatic cliffs, others sit alongside pine forests or tiny islands, but they all are guaranteed to make you look twice.
