There’s something unique about visiting certain European destinations in December.
There is still a “old world charm”, which is particularly inviting in the winter months. You may want to book a trip to Europe, and there are 8 places that you should definitely consider.
Tromso Snowy Paradise Experience
You’re not alone if you haven’t heard of Tromso. Tromso is a small village on the island of Tromsoya, located in northern Norway. It’s a very popular European destination because it offers a great opportunity to view the Northern Lights. You can only catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights between December and February. You can also enjoy husky dog-sled rides while you’re there.
Venice NYE
You can visit Venice in Italy at the end or beginning of the year. Over the past few years, it has gained a reputation for being overrun by tourists during peak season. In December 2023 you will be able see St. Mark’s Basilica and other important landmarks without distraction or worry.
Nuremberg for History & Xmas Markets
Nuremberg’s Christmas markets are perhaps the most important reason to visit Germany in winter. You can find almost everything you could want from a Christmas market, including, but not limited, to an endless supply of gingerbread, hand-made gifts, carriage rides and more.
Edinburgh NYE
Edinburgh is a great place to celebrate the end-of-year in style. Consider the Hogmanay festival, for instance. The three-day festival celebrates the New Year with great outdoor concerts, spectacular fireworks displays and even more dancing than anyone could imagine. You can enjoy the shopping even if you don’t like festivals.
