Where to travel in winter

 

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.

Where to travel in winter

’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.
