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.

3 different ways to experience Malta on a city break

09 October 2026

A city break in Malta can look very different depending on how you like to travel. You could check into a five-star hotel and build your days around art, architecture, and Michelin-starred dining. You could slow everything down, wandering through neighbourhoods, stopping for pastizzi, and exploring historic towns. Or you could use the city as a base for hiking, kayaking, diving, and days spent discovering Malta’s coastline. Here are three ways to make a short break in Malta completely your own.

The perfect guide to a Valletta city break

09 October 2026

For a city break with plenty to see, eat, and experience, Valletta makes a wonderful choice. Malta’s compact capital is easy to explore on foot, with honey-coloured streets leading to grand palaces, historic churches, and harbour viewpoints. From its impressive fortifications to its lively restaurant scene, Valletta brings together centuries of history and a distinctly Mediterranean way of life, making it ideal for visitors who want more from a short break than simply sightseeing.
