With that time of the year approaching really fast, you are probably feeling that Christmas fidgets already. If you haven’t booked or planned yet your Christmas getaway, now is the right time to do so.

So, what to experience and where to go to in order to make it a memorable Christmas?

In this article, we’ll give you a couple of solutions, ranging from perfect family getaways all the way to recommended trips if you’re traveling on a budget. So let’s get going!

Visiting Capitals

Visiting big European capitals that are keeping the tradition of Christmas and festive atmosphere on their big city squares is something that can’t go wrong. Booking accommodation near the city center up ahead and planning to spend the New Year’s Eve with the rest of the locals gathered on the main city square is a great experience.

There is a number of different, predominantly European capitals, which you can consider visiting. Vienna, Brussels or Prague are just a few of them to mention.

For instance, Belgium capital is known for it’s traditional Christmas fair. Lots of wooden shops flood the streets of downtown Brussels. You can try out delicious seafood while on foot buying it directly from the street vendors. Also, don’t miss on traditionally delicious Belgium chocolate candies and waffles and enjoy the fantastic architecture of one of the most beautiful squares in the world – Grand Place.

Both Vienna and Prague will certainly take your breath away when it comes to the medieval vibe of the cities. If you are a regular on our blog, you already had a chance to read about what you can do in Prague for just 24 hours.

Have an Adrenaline-Pumped Holiday

For all of you who are more keen on the adrenaline-fueled type of action, visiting some of the world’s most prominent ski resorts is a must this winter. Although this endeavor can be a bit pricey, you can also experience some of the Eastern European ski resorts like Borovets in Bulgaria that will offer plenty of entertainment for a reasonable price.

If you want to keep it classy, you should consider other European resorts like Zermatt in Switzerland or famous French or Italian ski resorts.

Last but not the least, don’t forget that it’s summer on the other end of the globe, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t hit the slopes for Christmas Eve on Australia for example. Ski resorts like Perisher are becoming more and more popular every year. Don’t miss on the enjoyable adventure you can have there and on accommodating yourself in one of the beautiful apartments you can see here.

Visit Santa

If your little ones fancy the entire story around Santa Claus, and you want to make it an unforgettable Christmas for them, then why don’t you arrange them to meet Santa himself?

Lapland province in Finland is traditionally considered as Santa’s homeland. That’s where ice is throughout the whole year but that’s where it’s the most crowded and busiest on the New Year’s Eve.

You can make your children (or even yourself, why not) attend the Elf Academy, where they can learn how to be of proper help to Santa. Also, you can even join Ms. Santa and give her a helping hand while she makes Christmas cookies for kids from all over the world.

At the end of it all, Santa is who we all secretly crave to see when clocks hit midnight.
