12 Places to Travel to This Holiday Season

Jordana Weiss | December 15, 2017

If you look outside and there’s snow on the ground, chances are your thoughts go one of two ways — either you’re desperate to get away from it, or you see the snow as a herald of winter fun. This approach is pretty typical of most American families. They either spend their holidays soaking up the sun as far away from snow as possible, or they strap on their winter gear and go in search of somewhere where the snow never melts.

In that spirit, we’ve gathered together some vacations suggestions for this year’s escape. All of these destinations are perfect for a holiday jaunt, regardless of climate.

1. Prague

Prague is one of Europe’s most beautiful and picturesque cities, primarily because they’ve kept their older architectural marvels in excellent condition. Spending Christmas in snowy Prague is a great choice.

Their coffee culture is legendary, so you can spend every afternoon enjoying a cup of coffee and slice of cake in a place like Café Imperial, which drips with gold and marble opulence, or the modern, farmhouse-inspired Café Letka. After a leisurely afternoon in a cafe, explore Prague’s best architecture by checking out the famous St. Nicholas Church, then spend your evening enjoying a pint of local beer in an underground speakeasy.
