Royal Palace - Budapest - Hungary
Budapest
No one does winter like eastern Europe. Here you’ll find fairytale cityscapes, subzero temperatures and people well versed in getting through the colder months.
Québec City
The capital of Francophone Canada, Québec City offers some of most nosehair-freezing temperatures of any big city.
The Trans-Siberian railway
Russian winters are among the harshest you’ll find anywhere. A few days on the Trans-Siberian railway will give you all the snowy scenery you can handle – all from a snugly heated carriage with unlimited hot water for warming brews from steaming samovar kettles.
Lapland
Lapland does its clichés rather well. The region, which straddles northern Norway, Sweden and Finland, is home to endless snowy vistas, Father Christmas and all the reindeer you can handle.
Vancouver
Vancouver is fine at any time of the year, but it feels built for winter.
Monkey hot springs, Japan
Humans aren’t the only ones to get a kick out of Japan’s nationally-revered hot springs.
Lebanon
Lebanon is not the most obvious choice for a skiing destination, but the Mediterranean country is a magnet for winter sports enthusiasts.
Iceland
Iceland is a superb place to visit in winter. Reykjavik is well used to drinking through the pain of dark days and chilly nights, but regular visitors find it’s not as chilly as they were expecting, with temperatures hovering around freezing.
Dubai
Never mind that there are no hills and it never snows – come to Dubai for a white winter!
