#1 Istanbul, Turkey: The Spiciest Winter Destination
This unusual choice for winter travel can be explained by the number of impressive attractions in Istanbul during wintertime.
A large part of Turkish culture is the hammam ritual, an authentic spa procedure that leaves your body and mind relaxed and rejuvenated. Once upon a time, there were 237 hammams in Istanbul. Traditionally, Turkish baths followed a three-step process of a sauna, then steam, and, to finish, a full-body wash/ massage. Some of these hammams are very upscale and a must-visit while in Istanbul.
Hunt for antiquarians’ gems at the world’s oldest shopping mall in Istanbul, Grand Bazaar.
Try out Turkish salep, the traditional hot drink made from root orchids and milk. And another, the classic hot drink made of seasonal cereals and yogurt – boza.
As Christmas is just another day in Istanbul, New Year’s Eve is widely celebrated. 5-star hotels arrange dinners with balls.
Winter is also the cheapest and less crowded time to travel. Therefore, it is more affordable and cheaper than other seasons if you want to travel to Istanbul during winter.

#2 Madrid, Spain: Two Weeks of Fiestas
What could be better than spending the Christmas holidays in charming Madrid? Sunny Madrid is turning into a magical winter fairytale with a charming, bright, festive feeling. As everyone knows, fiestas are a big part of Spanish culture, so why not have a little fiesta during wintertime?
Madrid is turning the lights on! Watch the capital city start to glow in the evenings with eco-friendly lights made by famous designers and architects. The light festival is attended by many, and it is a real high (light) of the holidays. The city is decorated with different lights, making it entertaining to explore during the evening.
Make sure you attend the Procession of the Light festival, which is celebrated on December 21. The festivals in Madrid start at Nochebuena (Christmas Eve) and end on Three Kings’ Day on January 6.
For foodies, you are welcomed to royal dining at the city’s iconic Westin Palace Hotel. The dinner menu was designed by a double-Michelin-starred chef. The ticket for the event includes food and drinks for the whole night, and of course, the midnight grapes are included.
Don’t forget to check out the Sierra de Guadarrama ski resorts (north of Madrid) to enjoy skiing or snowboarding.

#3 Melbourne, Australia: The Top Pick of Luxury Travelers
Winter is the best time to visit Australia. Melbourne is the top pick of luxury travelers, and there are multiple reasons why.
Natural “gems” are hidden everywhere across Melbourne. The luxury of untouched nature and breathtaking views will leave you speechless.
During the New Year, Melbourne turns into a party place. Different themed parties are held for everyone’s preferences: the garden party, the boat party, the endless summer party, and many others welcome guests all night.
For those looking for a SPA retreat, Melbourne has various choices. Pamper yourself at Peninsula Hot Springs in natural mineral springs. Spend a day at Hepburn Spa with natural waters, welcoming travelers since 1895. Melbourne has everything that luxury travelers are looking for exclusive spas, untouched nature, wineries to visit, and New Year parties.

#4 Sydney, Australia: The Real Gem of Winter Magic to Kickstart your Holiday Season
White-blue coastline with warm water beaches to surf all year long and during dull & foggy days? Sydney weather in winter will still give you vitamin D and Sea.
Visit Bondi Beach with a fantastic saltwater bath to take a swim this winter. The Bondi Beach pool attracts swimmers and sunbathers from all over the world. Huge waves crashing into the pool make you feel unforgettable. During Christmas and New Year, Sydney prepares a spectacular fireworks show from Sydney Harbor or the Sydney Opera House.
The highlight of your winter visit to Sydney could be the Opera Gala concert at the Sydney Opera House. With the dazzling fireworks show over Sydney Harbor, the Opera Gala concert should be on your bucket list to start your next year.

#5 Amsterdam, the Netherlands: The City of Unique Atmosphere
Unlike other European countries, winter celebrations in the Netherlands start in November, when the holy saint of Christmas, St. Nicholas, starts his tour around the cities to greet all the kids.
Amsterdam turns into a magical winter fairy tale, with gingerbread houses covered in sugary white snow. The Dutch word ‘gazellig’, which has no direct translation, means a cozy feeling you feel, and it can be experienced during wintertime in Amsterdam. When the daytime is shorter, Amsterdamers lighten up the city with a light festival.
If you are lucky enough to visit Amsterdam in colder weather, you can try out Europe’s largest ice-skating rink – the canals. When the water freezes, the canals are turned into an ice-skating fun activity.
If the weather is not welcoming for outside, choose a great tour to visit different museums. Luckily, Amsterdam has more than 100 museums to visit. But mind the holiday opening times and large lines of visitors to the museums. We advise booking excursions and museum visits in advance.
Amsterdam is also renowned for its Michelin-rated restaurants. More than 16 Michelin-rated restaurants are spread around the city, and it would be a shame not to visit at least one of them. If the Dutch weather remains rainy and warm, a canal sightseeing excursion is a great way to explore the city and see the Light festival exposition “The Water Colors.” The light festival brightens up the town with different colors and attracts tourists to explore the city of the lights.
