]]> When we think of winter getaways, Sweden isn’t exactly the first place that comes to mind. For many of us living in already-cold climates, we’d much rather head for a warm, sunny beach than venture any closer to the arctic circle. Still, sometimes life has other plans, or we find a flight deal too good to pass up and end up in a place we never expected. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to enjoy Stockholm in the winter that don’t require being outside. Here are a few of our favorites. 

Tour the Royal Palace

The UK isn’t the only country with a palace worth exploring. In the historical heart of Gamla Stan, the Swedish Royal Palace stands proudly as both the official residence of the Swedish monarchy and a testament to the country’s rich heritage. Its lavish halls and Royal Apartments are adorned with priceless artifacts, and its five internal museums are filled with fascinating exhibitions that shine light on the country’s royal past. 

Explore Moderna Museet

Art lovers should be sure to check out Moderna Museet, a contemporary art museum located on Skeppsholmen island in the center of Stockholm. Home to an impressive collection of Swedish and international works by artists including Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí, the museum is a great place to escape the cold and spend some time learning about major artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. 

Unwind at Centralbadet Spa

There’s nothing like a hot bath to warm up when it’s chilly outside, so why not make a day of it and book a treatment or two at one of Stockholm’s most prominent spas? For over 100 years, Centralbadet has offered personalized treatments, wellness classes, and saunas in a beautiful art nouveau building on the city’s iconic Drottninggatan street. When you’re finished, head to the in-house Eco-Bar for an organic meal and a cup of tea.

]]> When you book a winter trip away, the excitement can be so much that some travel essentials get forgotten about. Stay on top of your to-do list and make sure nothing gets left behind with this list of three essential toiletry items to take with you. Nobody wants dry skin, greasy hair, or chapped lips on holiday, so consult this list and tick the items off as you pack.

Lip Balm

Winter weather, combined with the recycled air situation on the plane, can play havoc with your lips. Nothing is more annoying (or painful) than dry, cracked lips, so stock up on lip balms before you go. Many lip balms don’t count as liquids, so they won’t take up precious room in your liquids bag. In an emergency, lip balm can also double up as a dry skin balm, so you’re really packing two products in one.

Hair Serum

Even for those with very glossy hair, winter can take its toll on our strands and lead to dry, dull hair. Pack a small pot or bottle of nourishing hair serum, for on-the-go touch-ups which will lend moisture from root to tip. This can also be used to smooth down frizzy flyaways if this is something your hair suffers with. If the serum is rich enough you will only need a small amount, so again this product won’t take up loads of room in your luggage.

Moisturizer

A moisturizer will help protect your skin in harsher weather. Pack one that can double up as a face and body serum, so that you don’t have to contend with dry patches on your legs or arms. If you need to condition your nails, add a dash of olive oil to your standard moisturizer and massage this into your hands and nails.

A winter holiday can be great fun, but don’t forget these beauty essentials to keep your skin, hair and nails in tip top condition.

]]> France is a stunning country, beloved around the world for its fine foods, wines, gorgeous landscapes and rich culture. Many people flock to its cities, mountains and beaches during the warmer months, but this can lead to chronic overcrowding in tourist hotspots, and a sense that the ‘real’ France is out of reach behind touristy hotels and ice cream stands. This is why more and more people are exploring France in the winter. If you’re tempted, check out these three top cold weather locations.

St Malo, Brittany

This quaint fishing town on the northern coast of France does take a bit of battering from winter storms and rain, but the thick walled houses will protect you from the elements. When it’s not blowing a gale, wander around the pretty cobbled streets, explore the harbor, and taste some of the freshest fish you’ve ever tried from any one of the town’s numerous cafes and restaurants.

Toulouse, Occitanie

This beautiful ancient city is protected from the worst of northern Europe’s winter, by the fact that it’s so far south in France. However, within nearby proximity you have the stunning Pyrenees mountains, so if it’s snow you’re seeking Toulouse can provide that for you. Otherwise, enjoy rambling around the beautiful streets, taking in some of the arts and culture, or sampling some of the regional delicacies including the sumptuous (and hearty) cassoulet, a dish made from duck meat, sausage, and beans in a rich tomato sauce.

Noyers, Normandy

This charming village offers an insight into the old ways of life, and is incredibly relaxing to spend a week in. Situated within the Calvados making region, if you fancy some wine tasting tours you’ll be spoilt for choice in this part of France. There are also plenty of sleepy market towns within easy driving distance, so you can pick up some delicious produce. If you’re a history fan, there are plenty of churches and chateaux to explore, don’t miss the ancient town of Vezelay with its impressive ancient abbey.

The cold months are no reason to stay away from France, in fact at this time of year you’ll find it pleasingly empty of tourist crowds. Explore large cities or stick to smaller towns, and you’ll have a chance to experience the real France for yourself.

]]> When you think of holidays, chances are you’ll picture a summer getaway somewhere hot. Growing up with school holidays has made us all associate traveling with the summer season. But going away somewhere in winter is way more exciting than you may think, so here’s why you should try it.

It’s Cheaper

Because it’s the popular choice, prices get hiked up as soon as the weather turns warmer. You’ll be able to stay in incredible locations for a fraction of the price you’d pay in peak season, as well as saving huge amounts on flights and other travel expenses.

No Overcrowding

When you go away in summer, your experience can be a bit overshadowed by the immense overcrowding everywhere. Consider going to a popular summer destination in winter, and you’ll get to have the joy of some peace and quiet while exploring somewhere new.

Authentic Experiences

Due to the summer tourist rush, a lot of popular destinations lose some of their natural charm in catering to the crowds. When you travel there off-season, you’ll get to witness the authentic traditions and customs of the area and soak in all the natural atmosphere of the place.

]]> Considering that it is peak season, everyone seems to wait for the summer to head on vacation. Still, there are some places that are worth visiting in winter, whether it be because of lower costs, surprisingly pleasant weather, or a sublime winter wonderland experience. Here are three cities that are worth heading to in the thick of winter.

Prague, Czech Republic

Filled with neat, cobbled streets, grand Romanesque architecture, and snow-capped mountains, Prague will show you just how beautiful winter can be. Between the city’s intriguing historical sites such as the Prague Castle and the Spanish Synagogue and its vibrant Czech cafes, weather is not even a consideration during a nonstop trip to this charming city.

Sydney, Australia

Because of being located in the southern hemisphere, Sydney is in peak summer during our winter months. In addition to water sports and the ocean, Sydney offers a range of worthwhile hot spots, including the Sydney Opera House, Bondi Beach, and kayaking adventures through the Syndey Harbor.

Honolulu, Hawaii

If you’re looking for a warm holiday season, then this Hawaiian island is your ideal destination. Honolulu boasts warm temperatures year-round, with plenty of seasonal activities on offer including an impressive Honolulu City Lights Christmas display at its city hall. Of course, you’ll also be able to enjoy a day in the sand on the island’s golden beaches.

Vail, Colorado

Vail, Colorado, is home to the world-famous Vail Ski Resort, arguably the best ski resort in the nation. It is a perfect place to be during winter if you are a fan of winter sports, offering perfect conditions for skiing and snowboarding. But even if you don’t enjoy winter activities of this kind, you will have something to do in Vail, thanks to its shopping centers, fancy restaurants, and nightclubs.

New York City, New York

There is something magical about New York City in winter. This already amazing city becomes even more special when everything is covered by snow. Its streets and parks are even more picture-perfect, the winter markets are bustling with life, there is an ice skate rink on every corner, and the Christmas lights shine brighter than any other place on Earth. What else could you ask for?

Key West, Florida

Finally, if you don’t like anything related to winter, simply go someplace warmer. Key West, Florida, is a perfect place to run away from cold weather thanks to its subtropical climate that guarantees warm weather even during the winter months. While everyone else freezes, you can relax on the beach, sip a cocktail, and enjoy the sun.

]]> When the days will finally get shorter and the mercury on our thermometers begin to drop, you might be wondering where you can head for a bit of winter travel in the United States next winter. National parks are always a great option, and there is a wide variety of them throughout the U.S. which are located in places where you will be able to enjoy warm temperatures while exploring the landscape. These are three highlights that you can visit for a warm winter getaway!

Everglades National Park, Florida

South Florida is the home of Everglades National Park, a unique tropical wetland environment that’s the home of an astounding variety of plant and animal life. With hiking trails and tours that you’ll be able to do and average December high temperatures of 78 degrees F, this destination is hard to beat.

Saguaro National Park, Arizona

Have you ever visited the Sonoran Desert in the state of Arizona before? The perfect place to experience this wonderful region in all its glory is Saguaro National Park just outside the city of Tucson, where you’ll marvel at endless sandy expansions and massive Saguaro cacti. 

Channel Islands National Park, California

Not all coastal areas in the United States suffer cold temperatures in winter, and southern California’s Channel Islands are the perfect proof of this. Moderate temperatures, endless sandy beaches, and expansive hiking trails in the park’s five islands are big draws of this gorgeous place.

]]> As we are in the depths of winter, you might be thinking about going on a trip and getting away from work or other obligations. Packing in winter is generally tougher than it is in summer, as you need more layers and more clothes.

It is easy to get overwhelmed at times and make mistakes when packing especially in winter. Check out these tips which will help you avoid those problems.

Too Many Coats

One cardinal sin that many people make when packing in wintertime is stuffing too many coats in a suitcase, which ends up taking up a crazy amount of space. Try to stick to one or two coats that fit with every outfit that you have taken with you.

Not Enough Socks

While it is easy to pack too many coats, lots of people end up forgetting about generously taking socks with them in winter. It is easy to “ruin” a pair of socks for the day by getting them wet or stepping in snow, and you might even want to double-sock if temperatures are really low.

Don’t Forget Winter Accessories

Another thing that people sometimes forget when packing for winter trips are winter accessories that will help you stave off the cold weather. A hat or two, a scarf, and gloves or mittens are essential when it comes to winter travel.

]]> If you have an opportunity to go on a ski vacation but you don’t ski and are not sure if you’re going to have fun or get bored, don’t stay at home as there’s plenty of fun for everyone in the mountains. Here’s how to enjoy the trip.

Enjoy Alone Time

How often do you get a chance to be alone with all the free time in the world? Use the time when everyone else is skiing to read a book, write in a journal, listen to music in peace, or do anything else you don’t get time for at home.

Take a Walk

Just because you don’t ski doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the fresh air in the mountains. Go for a walk and soak in the bright snow, the green forests, and the sight of people having fun.

Enjoy the Resort

Some resorts offer plenty of things you can use to pass the time. You can check out the shops, visit the pool and spa section, and see what else is around that you can explore. Find a nice coffee shop and enjoy a cup of hot coffee or some other drink.

]]> Considering that it is peak season, everyone seems to wait for the summer to head on vacation. Still, there are some places that are worth visiting in winter, whether it be because of lower costs, surprisingly pleasant weather, or a sublime winter wonderland experience. Here are three cities that are worth heading to in the thick of winter.

Prague, Czech Republic

Filled with neat, cobbled streets, grand Romanesque architecture, and snow-capped mountains, Prague will show you just how beautiful winter can be. Between the city’s intriguing historical sites such as the Prague Castle and the Spanish Synagogue and its vibrant Czech cafes, weather is not even a consideration during a nonstop trip to this charming city.

Sydney, Australia

Because of being located in the southern hemisphere, Sydney is in peak summer during our winter months. In addition to water sports and the ocean, Sydney offers a range of worthwhile hot spots, including the Sydney Opera House, Bondi Beach, and kayaking adventures through the Syndey Harbor.

Honolulu, Hawaii

If you’re looking for a warm holiday season, then this Hawaiian island is your ideal destination. Honolulu boasts warm temperatures year-round, with plenty of seasonal activities on offer including an impressive Honolulu City Lights Christmas display at its city hall. Of course, you’ll also be able to enjoy a day in the sand on the island’s golden beaches.

]]> There is no denying that winter is more beautiful in some parts of the United States than in others. If you happen to live in a place that doesn’t really shine during wintertime, you shouldn’t simply accept your fate. Instead, get on the road and visit one of these places that do.

Vail, Colorado

Vail, Colorado, is home to the world-famous Vail Ski Resort, arguably the best ski resort in the nation. It is a perfect place to be during winter if you are a fan of winter sports, offering perfect conditions for skiing and snowboarding. But even if you don’t enjoy winter activities of this kind, you will have something to do in Vail, thanks to its shopping centers, fancy restaurants, and nightclubs.

New York City, New York

There is something magical about New York City in winter. This already amazing city becomes even more special when everything is covered by snow. Its streets and parks are even more picture-perfect, the winter markets are bustling with life, there is an ice skate rink on every corner, and the Christmas lights shine brighter than any other place on Earth. What else could you ask for?

Key West, Florida

Finally, if you don’t like anything related to winter, simply go someplace warmer. Key West, Florida, is a perfect place to run away from cold weather thanks to its subtropical climate that guarantees warm weather even during the winter months. While everyone else freezes, you can relax on the beach, sip a cocktail, and enjoy the sun.

]]> When the days will finally get shorter and the mercury on our thermometers begin to drop, you might be wondering where you can head for a bit of winter travel in the United States next winter. National parks are always a great option, and there is a wide variety of them throughout the U.S. which are located in places where you will be able to enjoy warm temperatures while exploring the landscape. These are three highlights that you can visit for a warm winter getaway!

Everglades National Park, Florida

South Florida is the home of Everglades National Park, a unique tropical wetland environment that’s the home of an astounding variety of plant and animal life. With hiking trails and tours that you’ll be able to do and average December high temperatures of 78 degrees F, this destination is hard to beat.

Saguaro National Park, Arizona

Have you ever visited the Sonoran Desert in the state of Arizona before? The perfect place to experience this wonderful region in all its glory is Saguaro National Park just outside the city of Tucson, where you’ll marvel at endless sandy expansions and massive Saguaro cacti. 

Channel Islands National Park, California

Not all coastal areas in the United States suffer cold temperatures in winter, and southern California’s Channel Islands are the perfect proof of this. Moderate temperatures, endless sandy beaches, and expansive hiking trails in the park’s five islands are big draws of this gorgeous place.

]]> As we are in the depths of winter, you might be thinking about going on a trip and getting away from work or other obligations. Packing in winter is generally tougher than it is in summer, as you need more layers and more clothes.

It is easy to get overwhelmed at times and make mistakes when packing especially in winter. Check out these tips which will help you avoid those problems.

Too Many Coats

One cardinal sin that many people make when packing in wintertime is stuffing too many coats in a suitcase, which ends up taking up a crazy amount of space. Try to stick to one or two coats that fit with every outfit that you have taken with you.

Not Enough Socks

While it is easy to pack too many coats, lots of people end up forgetting about generously taking socks with them in winter. It is easy to “ruin” a pair of socks for the day by getting them wet or stepping in snow, and you might even want to double-sock if temperatures are really low.

Don’t Forget Winter Accessories

Another thing that people sometimes forget when packing for winter trips are winter accessories that will help you stave off the cold weather. A hat or two, a scarf, and gloves or mittens are essential when it comes to winter travel.

]]> If you have an opportunity to go on a ski vacation but you don’t ski and are not sure if you’re going to have fun or get bored, don’t stay at home as there’s plenty of fun for everyone in the mountains. Here’s how to enjoy the trip.

Enjoy Alone Time

How often do you get a chance to be alone with all the free time in the world? Use the time when everyone else is skiing to read a book, write in a journal, listen to music in peace, or do anything else you don’t get time for at home.

Take a Walk

Just because you don’t ski doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the fresh air in the mountains. Go for a walk and soak in the bright snow, the green forests, and the sight of people having fun.

Enjoy the Resort

Some resorts offer plenty of things you can use to pass the time. You can check out the shops, visit the pool and spa section, and see what else is around that you can explore. Find a nice coffee shop and enjoy a cup of hot coffee or some other drink.
