Winter vacation - tips and tricks
We may sound like worried mothers, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Traveling during winter has its challenges and not just weather-wise. We all want our winter vacation to go as smoothly as possible, but we must work for it. Before you turn vacation mode on, take care of these things:
- Research, research, research: Your favorite destination is cursed with unpredictable weather, there may be some health restrictions, tickets for a show you plan on seeing have to be bought online? Google that thing! Trust us, you underestimate how much people don't want to investigate what awaits them on vacation. Leave something to the imagination and on-sight exploration, but be aware of opening hours and ski pass prices at least.
- Travel insurance: Always a good idea, but especially during winter vacations. Your trip gets delayed, somebody steals your luggage filled with warm clothing, or you hurt yourself on the snow? Leave the worrying to the insurance company.
- Skincare: Cold weather can impact your skin, making it sore and scaly. Bring moisturizers, lip balms, and soothing creams to help you recover faster.
- Equipment: Skiing, snowboarding, or similar equipment can be rented on site. Don't bring your own on long flights; you'll thank us later. Renting is also the best option for beginners who are still not fully committed to the winter sport of choice.
- Book everything early to get the best deals and prices, to avoid overcrowded websites. Last-minute travel packages sell fast, and you shouldn't count on them, especially during the holidays.
- Not everybody celebrates the same holidays as you. Be respectful of the traditions and celebrations you may encounter.
Winter getaways in the city
Snow-covered skyscrapers, the charm of decorated old town squares, and an abundance of festive activities just get us excited for the winter ahead. The world is made out of beautiful towns of all shapes and sizes, but some exude uniqueness more than others. Whether you want to get on with the festival scene of Nagano, or you see yourself admiring the architecture of the Russian capital, you'll have a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Here's what you can expect.
New York - Ice skating with a view
Ideal place for Grinch group therapy, your heart will be filled with joy, and your legs will be tired from all the sightseeing. The excitement of the ball dropping on New Year's eve is unbeatable, and if you plan on getting a gift for yourself, the best one is a ticket for a Broadway show. Before you head out to the Met wishing you're invited to The Gala or find yourself mesmerized at Fashion Week or Jazz festival, you should go ice-skating at some of the most popular skating rinks in the city. If you're rethinking it because you're scared that you're going to embarrass yourself, remember that you're in New York; most of the people around you are not fazed by anything anymore.
Some indoor options exist, but the party is at the outdoor rinks, surrounded by iconic NYC landmarks. Skate rentals are mostly cheap, but the prices of the venues vary depending on the location and time you want to spend skating. So, when the time comes to choose your ice rink, have these in mind:
- Bryant Park skate rink: Skating in the heart of Manhattan may be a dream come true to some, and we get it. The Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park is an experience and a half, and you can enjoy food and entertainment after you get off the ice. Be ready to spend $15-45 for rentals.
- Rockefeller Center's ice rink: The most famous Christmas tree in the world will be your backdrop if you visit this rink during December. Skating at this location can cost $20-54, and it is open from 9 am to 12 am.
- IC Ice Rink: Charming Brooklyn is an excellent place for skating, as you'll be located in the part of NYC that is known for its creative spirit. After the skate session, check out the local bars, restaurants, and exciting attractions.
- ArtRink at Brooklyn Children's Museum: Great for kids, this rink is eco-friendly and is decorated with a sparkling roof canopy. For $23, you'll get skate rentals, museum tickets, and access to the ArtRink holiday experience.
Moscow - Fairytale architecture
Strolling down the streets of Moscow while listening to Once Upon a December should be considered self-care at this point. There is nothing like Russian architecture covered in snow, a frozen river that radiates bliss and coldness, laughter from the many skating rinks scattered throughout the city. Russians know how to party and take their liquor, so if you love to have a good time, plan your trip around orthodox Christmas. To summarize, here are some of the most exciting places and activities you need to check out in the Russian capital:
- Visit the attractions on the Red Square
- Go skating, dancing, or take a class at Gorky Park
- Go Christmas shopping at GUM
- See a performance at the Bolshoi Theatre
- Experience interactive installations at the Garage Museum
Organizing a trip to Moscow will be much easier after you've read our blog about top attractions in Moscow.
Nagano - Immersive winter festivals
This jewel of Japan often gets left out, and we are here to fix that. Once you step into its nature, you'll wonder what took you so long to visit it. Former Winter Olympics host Nagano is especially lively during the winter months when it organizes many interesting festivals worth experiencing. An excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in new culture and witness winter in the new light can be a few bookings away, and we do hope you give Nagano the love it deserves. Some of the festivals in question are:
- Nagano Tomyo Matsuri: 5 days are reserved for The Nagano Lanter Festival every February. Commemorating the 1998 Winter Olympics, the Zenkō-Ji temple is illuminated with the 5 Olympic colors, lanterns flood the streets, and the nights are filled with music and lots of activities.

- Shimotsuki Matsuri: First weeks of December are dedicated to the Shinto priest rituals. To breathe the new life into the spirits, the priests boil vast amounts of water and use chants and performances to purify it. Masked deities go through the Village into the temple during the night, splashing the water along the way.
Reykjavik - Scandinavian Winter Wonderland
Visiting Reykjavik should be on our bucket lists, no matter the season. But, Iceland's capital becomes even more charming during the winter months, when you get to experience the power of snow and cold up-close. Many many cats will keep you company along the way, and you'll have to find a local coffee shop to feed your Starbucks addiction in this Starbuckslees and McDonald'sless city. Iceland is a great place to go and watch the northern lights, which we wrote more about in the section: Seek the northern lights. Besides the charm and culture, you should organize a winter vacation to Reykjavik for its natural wonders. You'll get to experience:
- Blue lagoon: This geothermal spa formed in the 70s is believed to have healing properties. With consistent 39C water, it's a popular attraction all year-round. It is great for people with persistent skin conditions, and you can even get a psoriasis treatment. Book your time slot and transportation on time, and if you wish to explore it for many days, get yourself a room in the recently opened 5-star Retreat Hotel.
- Whale watching: A fascinating cruise that starts in Reykjavik will take you out on the water, where you'll get to see whales and dolphins. For as little as $85 a person, this 2.5-hour expedition will leave you breathless.
- Glacier exploring: This one is in the treat yourself category considering the price, but why wouldn't you anyway? The best tour is the one that takes you on a 2-day trip and gives you a chance to hike the Europes largest glacier, but also experience the beauty of the famous black sand beach and a few waterfalls.
Skiing in Europe
Ah, the sport of the rich. From various equipment to travel and accommodations, this can take a toll on your savings. But, with some great planning sessions and a few compromises, we all can enjoy gliding down the Alps. From Italian mountains to skiing in gorgeous Switzerland, let's look at some of the best ski resorts that Europe has to offer.
France ski resorts
The French have it all going for them, don't they? No matter your experience, preferences, or knowledge of skiing in general, you must have heard only good things about skiing in the French Alps. Some of the resorts will take you to the Swiss border, which allows you to test out this country's exciting slopes as well; experience has shown that skiing in the French Savoie has many advantages. If you want to do more than just skiing, be sure to check out our blog about top places to visit in the French Alps. To give you an idea of what to expect in France, we found some exciting ski resorts:
- Courchevel ski resort: Being referred to as "the skiing capital of the world" must be nice. This largest alpine ski domain, stretching over Les Trois Vallées/Three Valleys, is expensive and glamorous. It is terrific for beginners and skiers ready for off-piste adventures. When the trails are overcrowded during the peak season, you can spend your time in one of the seven Michelin-star restaurants. You can buy your ski passes online, and it will cost you at least 295 euros for six days.
- Chamonix ski resorts: Skiing in the place where the first-ever Winter Olympics was held has its perks. Loved mainly by expert skiers, it is known as the best freeride resort globally. Its best selling points are pristine snow conditions, terrain perfect for practicing your medal-worthy jumps, and charming hotels like Auberge du Manoir.
- La Plagne resort: Bring the whole family to learn how to ski in this magical French resort. Snow kindergarten and skiing lessons are great for kids, slopes perfect for people in their practice stages, bob and dog sledding, family spa treatment, and so much more do sound idyllic.
Skiing in Switzerland
Skiing with a backdrop of the Swiss Alps and nature sometimes looks too good to be true. But, it very much is. The skiing season starts in November and, in some places, can last until April. The biggest crowds and the highest prices are a combination during December and January, so be prepared for less personal space, and book months in advance. Switzerland is especially rich in ski resorts, with 350 scattered around the country. As they are pretty unique and charming, the smaller the resort, the lower the price logic won't hurt you. There are terrains soothed for all types of skiers, and amongst the best resorts are:
- Zermatt ski resort: One of the best ski resorts in Europe awaits you in Switzerland. Skiers of all abilities are welcome, and they will be faced with a 2.133 meter drop. Zermatt is also home to the world's highest 3S cableway, capable of transporting 2.000 excited skiers every hour.
- Davos-Klosters: It consists of several resorts in the Landwasser River valley. Skiing paths are interconnected and kept neat at all times, so you're getting about 300 kilometers of pure adrenalin. This is a *chef's kiss* location for all you off-piste skiing enthusiasts.
- St.Moritz: You cannot miss out on the slopes that have hosted the Olympics not once but twice! Don't be intimidated by the expert skiers - at this pristine resort everyone can find a spot. St.Moritz is a great place to try out some new snow sports techniques, such as Nordic and kite skiing or bobsledding.
Italy ski resorts
Italians do everything in style and very leisurely, and skiing is not an exception. If you see big crowds on the slopes early in the morning, there's a big chance those people are tourists. Italians love to enjoy a nice meal and a good sleep before hitting the snow. Learn what the colors of the skiing paths mean, and note that some of the intermediate slopes can be challenging. The laid-back ambiance of Italian ski resorts makes them perfect for families and people who love their winter vacation with a lot of time to actually rest. Besides the Alps, skiing on the Dolomites is a first-class experience.
The best way to get a place at a resort you like is early online booking, and some resorts even require advance bookings for ski lifts. Insurance is essential when you plan on going to Italy, as some holiday booking agencies may require winter sports covers. The good news is that you don't need a fortune to ski in Italy, with ski passes in the $45-70 range. Notably cheaper than the neighbors but not lacking in service and luxury, here are some of the most engaging ski resorts in Italy:
- Cortina d'Ampezzo: "Queen of the Dolomites," UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to the 1956 Winter Olympics, indeed is one of the most stunning ski resorts in the world. Excellent for beginners and off-piste skiers. The most notable ski areas are Pomedes and Tofana.
- Val Gardena: Consisting of the villages Ortisei, San Christina, and Selva, these ski resorts place you in the heart of the Dolomiti super ski area. With an area of around 400 kilometers of interconnected skiing, it will give a chance to watch and maybe train with professionals. Don't miss out on La Longia, the longest ski slope in South Tyrol.
- Bormio: Combine rustic feels and views of the local Lombardia spa town with iconic trails ideal for intermediate skiers. Great snow, a snowpark, and interesting tree-lined paths give it its well-known charm.

Christmas markets
Since medieval times, Christmas markets have been around a loved holiday tradition, primarily popular in European countries.

Toronto Christmas market

The 19th-century buildings and cobblestone streets give it a special kick, and the decorations make you feel all festive. Toronto Christmas Market is open from 10 am to 9 pm, and you can visit it for free most of the time. Visits from Tuesday to 5 pm on a Friday are free, but after five and on the weekends, you'll have to pay $6 to enter the market. If you hate waiting in line, there's a $20 ticket that acts like a skip-the-line pass at the entrance. There's an abundance of stuff to see, try and do, and some of them are:

Seek the northern lights
Roald Dahl once said that "those who don't believe in magic will never find it". If you want to believe but don't know where to start, head out north to look for the polar lights. Every year between September and March, a unique natural phenomenon lights up the night sky above Antarctica, Canada, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, Alaska. Thanks to the Earth's magnetic field, we are saved from the impact of the fast sun particles. Sending them back towards the North Pole, their collision with different atmospheric particles combined with the height at which it occurs creates the magnificent blue, green, violet, and red light waves.
It can be a little tricky to catch them, but please be patient because it is so worth it! The best course of action is to regularly check the northern lights forecasts and be ready to change your location on foot quickly. Time flies when you have fun, so keep yourself busy and entertained with old school games, for example. If you plan on photographing them, take good care of your equipment that can be affected by the harsh winter weather. Also, don't forget to take care of your body as well! Warm clothing, skincare products, and hot drinks will be your best friends. Some of the best places to see the northern lights are:
- Norway: Head out to Svalbard to experience the northern lights during the polar night, or go to the north city Tromsø to get the best seats in the house.
- Alaska: Some would say that Fairbanks is the best place in the world for northern lights watching, but you be the judge of that. If you go north to the Barrow, you'll get immersed into the local culture as well.
- Canada: Places like Battle Harbour in Newfoundland and town Whitehorse are great, but the best views have to be in the Aurora Capital of North America, Yellowknife.
- Greenland: This is for the real adventurers, as it involves tricky transportation methods and freezing temperatures. If you are up for a challenge, head out to island Kulusuk or the town of Ilulissat.
- Northern lights cruises: Cunard cruises lead the game with 12-night cruises that start in England or 26-night cruises from NYC. Two large ships, top-notch service, accommodation and entertainment, and first-class views of the lights will cost you at least 1.640 euros.
Niagara falls in the winter
Shared by Ontario and New York, and with a total height of over 50 meters, Niagara falls are a vision during the winter months. Partially frozen and stunning, a combination of 68 miles per hour running water and surrounding nature almost looks like you've stepped on a different planet. Temperature doesn't go over 2C before March, so dress warmly to enjoy it as much as possible. Some of the perks that visiting Niagara during winter brings are the festivities in December and January that will spice up your trip. Be sure to check out:
- Festival of light: Starting in November, the falls are surrounded by a fantastic light installation festival in the Niagara Parkway and on Dufferin Island. You can see light sculptures created with millions of lights, alongside indoor entertainment at the Hilton Hotel & Suites.
- Grape and wine festival: The most famous vine from this region of North America is the ice wine. It is considered a dessert wine and is made out of grapes that get picked while still frozen. You ought to try this and some other exquisite wines at the festival that takes place every January.
- New Year's eve fireworks and concert
