Skiing down the Alps, visiting the museums of Italy and Rome, visiting the Cathedral in Ulm, cruising in a canal boat and enjoying the beauty of Amsterdam and then coming back to the comforts of the luxurious hotels, what a way to spend this winter vacation. The Christmas holidays are nearing and you are probably wondering where you and your family can go this winter for a nice, much-needed vacation. Here's help. Why not have one of the best winter vacations in Europe? There are so many places to visit, so many things to see that it will take you more than one vacation to see the whole of this continent. Given below are the top 10 European destinations that you can visit this winter.
Vacationing in Europe
You must be familiar with all the countries in Europe. There are 48 nations in that continent and to mention the places for the best winter vacations for families, in all these countries, will be a bit of a problem. So what I have done is, I have mentioned the top 10 places to visit in Europe during the winters. Once you visit these places, I am sure you will love them and you will enjoy your stay there. So, here are some vacation spots that you can visit.
Switzerland
The first name that comes into my mind is the snow-covered Alps in Switzerland. Whether you want to enjoy a nice ski vacation or you want to climb the mountains or you want to go trekking or you just want to sit back and enjoy the scenic beauty of this beautiful country, this is the place for you. No matter how many times you visit this country, you can never get tired of it.
Rome
Love the museums, the old historic monuments, or maybe the historical theaters, or just enjoying yourself in some of the winter cultural event? Then Rome, the capital of Italy, is the place for you. Visit Rome, the capital of the city and take a trip to the Vatican, walk down the ancient Roman forum, just like the Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar did, or make a wish at the Trevis Fountain. And a small tip for the girls, besides these museums and monuments, you will also find the Italian boys really cute.
Norway
Be it skiing, cruising, climbing, ice fishing, or just relaxing at the beach, it's all here in Norway. Try out those things which you had never tried at home, hitch a ride on a sledge pulled by dogs, ride on a reindeer and go and watch the Northern lights. You can also visit the Vigeland Park in Oslo, or maybe the Akershus Castle and enjoy the beautiful landscapes. Do not forget to visit Sognefjord and enjoy the best of what Norway has got to offer to its visitors.
Athens
One can never leave out Athens while talking about the best Europe vacations. If you are a person who simply loves to learn more about the ancient Greek mythology, a visit to this more than 3000 years old city is a must. An amazing and ancient city in Greece, the number of places you can visit will take you a lifetime. The Tower of the Winds, the Arch of Hadrian, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Odeon of Herodes and its huge number of islands are just some of the many places that you can visit for warm winter vacation in Europe.
Prague
The Old Town Square, the Tyn Church, the Prague Castle, the cobblestone pathways, the streets lines with the old castles, the breathtaking forests and all this covered in a thick blanket of white snow, are sure to take you back to the times of the Grimm brothers. If you are in two minds as to which place to visit this winter, then problem solved as Prague is the place for you. This place shows its best during the winters.
Paris
For all those couples who are looking for a romantic getaway this winter, a visit to the romantic city of Paris in France is a must. Visit all those places which Dan Brown has mentioned in his books, visit the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Opera Garnier and of course one can never leave out the Eiffel Tower. Fall in love all over again in this romantic city. Paris city is also one of the best shopping destinations in the world, so do not forget to carry enough money.
Tarifa Beach
If it's a warm winter vacation in Europe that you are looking for, then how about spending your time on the Tarifa Beach in Spain? This is the place where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. Surfing, windsurfing, watching the dolphins, or just lazing around, you can do all these here on Tarifa Beach. Enjoy the beauty of the white sand and the blue sea, one of the best winter vacation places in Europe.
London
Will you believe it if I told you that the first thing that came into my mind while writing about London was 221B Baker Street. If you are a Sherlock fan (doesn't matter even if you are not one, cause everyone knows this place), then this is the place that you must visit first when you do London travel. The capital of England, London is the best place to visit for a vacation. The list of places you can see, is endless; the Buckingham Palace (who knows probably you can catch a glimpse of Prince William), the Westminster Abbey, Madam Tussauds (pose with the wax models of some of your favorite celebrities), the Big Ben, and of course, the Camden Market for all those who are BIG shopaholics.
Venice
If someone asks me which is the place that I would visit again before I die, then Venice would top the list of all the places that I would love to visit. Visiting the Dodge's Palace, the Basilica di San Marco one of the most beautiful building in the world and also an important church, cruising down the Grand Canal, or walking down the Rialto Bridge are some of the things you can do this winter if you visit Venice.
Chamonix
Looking for some places where you can ski and snowboard to your heart's content? Then Chamonix is the place where you and your family should be this winter. Located in the eastern part of France, this place gives you a chance to explore the Alps as well as the Mont Blanc ride on the tramway in Aiguille de Midi, ski in Vallee Blanche or enjoy a glass of delicious wine and dine experience. What an amazing way to spend a winter vacation.
Now that you have the list of places which will let you enjoy in Europe, so have you decided where you will be heading to this winter? Just make sure that you make all the preparations beforehand and that you carry enough money with you. Bon Voyage!
