Practical Tips
Book Early for the Best Deals – Winter getaways are in demand—especially around school holidays. Booking early can snag you the best prices and a wider choice of hotels and flights.
Pick Your Vibe: Chill or Toasty? – Love the sun? Go for Canary Islands, Morocco or Egypt. Prefer snow and festive feels? Try Iceland, Austria or a Christmas market in Prague.
Pack Smart, Not Like a Suitcase Hoarder – Layer up if you’re heading somewhere cold—thermals are your best mate. For warmer spots, don’t forget suncream (yes, even in winter).
Avoid Peak Dates If You Can – Travel midweek or outside school holidays if possible. Flights are cheaper, beaches are quieter, and you’ll avoid the “all sunbeds gone by 8am” crowd.
Check Hotel Facilities in Winter – That dreamy infinity pool might be drained in December. Double-check which hotel amenities are open during the off-season.
Going Skiing? Book Lessons & Passes in Advance – Ski resorts book up fast. Get your lift passes, rentals and lessons sorted early to avoid stress and save money.
Download Offline Maps & Translation Apps – Whether you’re hiking in Iceland or eating street food in Marrakech, having offline tools will save you when Wi-Fi lets you down (and it will). Or even better, grab a eSIM for cheap before you go! iRoamly Travel Sim
