Winter Escapes

Winter is the perfect time to escape from it all and head away on a short break to the most exciting destinations in the UK, Europe and beyond. Generally, the airlines and hotels are quieter over the winter period so there lots of opportunities to bag a bargain and to elevate your trip without breaking the bank.  Here are a few of our top suggestions: 

Winter sun 

Get away from the commute in the dark for a few days and top up on some vitamin D. Destinations such as Seville, Marrakech, Gibraltar and Malta will offer warm temperatures, and a good chance of some sunshine filled days. These destinations will offer all the same amazing cultural opportunities, day trips and fabulous food choices but things will be quieter so your choices will be greater, and you can just slow down and take your time. And the novelty of a lunch outside in January will never get boring! 

Embrace winter 

Northern European cities know how to handle winter weather and embrace the season whole heartedly. A little bit, or a lot, of snow and ice won’t stop life in Oslo, Copenhagen, Tallinn or Stockholm. Wrap up warm and explore the shopping, food and hospitality under twinkling lights in these winter wonderland cities. Keep an eye out for celebrations to the Norse giants Ullr and Skadi, both guardians of winter and skiing, as these are fun celebrations held throughout Scandinavia all winter long. 

For something really special you can visit Reykjavik in Iceland or Tromsø in Norway, both destinations will offer the chance to see the Northern Lights and to take trips right to the edge of the Arctic Circle. This far north you can experience “perpetual night” for some of the winter season, but as spring draws closer, you can see more of the sun yet still experience winter conditions in these remarkable destinations.  

See your favourite city in a different light 

Major cities across Europe still thrive during winter yet they have way fewer tourists. This is a huge bonus when it comes to getting hold of a great deal but really shows its value when you visit major cultural hotspots, such as museums and art galleries. Imagine the Louvre with no crowds, that perfect Checkpoint Charlie photo and the best choice of seats at The Spanish Riding School. All of this can be yours by booking a winter trip to Paris, Berlin, Vienna or to any of our amazing destinations. 

Our destinations look and feel different in winter – now is the best time to book and experience it for yourself.
