There's only one rule to keep in mind when traveling: If you don't take photos, it didn't happen. (That, and don't drink the tap water. Okay, so two rules.) An un-Instagrammed Eiffel Tower may as well not even exist -- or, at least, you didn't see it. Yes, travel pics are important.

Travellers seeking good service and the prospect of polite hotel staff on their next big journey should consider heading to the Nordic countries, Germany or eastern Europe – but should probably steer clear of both Britain and Russia, according to new research.

Catch them if you can: bluebells in the Hallerbos - a forest in Flemish Brabant, Belgium - which attract many admirers during their short stay each spring..

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!
