On this side, Caetana is the only one who is a confessed winter lover. She loves to travel during this season. She says that the ambiance lived is different. So, if you, like her, are a true winter and snow lover, here are some winter destinations that should be on your list.
Tromso, Norway
How could we talk about winter destinations and not to mention the city that is known as the capital of the Artic? Tromso, in Norway, is considered the home for the true winter and snow lovers. Everything in this city is awesome, starting in the Northern Lights and finishing in the Arctic Cathedral.
Get surprised to see a high number of old wooden houses. The oldest one is dating from 1789.
Riding on a dog sled, and watching northern lights are not the only things to do in this city. The place is a cultural center full of music and food (for example) festivals. Don't leave the city without tasting their seafood- a unique experience.
Dolomites, Italy
Italy has the full package. The country has nice food, amazing landscapes, and even snow? In the Dolomites? I mean, yes, please! Imagine eating some hot pasta while admiring the snow in the alps... Is that a dream?
Let's start with the beginning. "The Dolomites are extraordinary mountains; a collection of exceptional geological features unique in the world. Their profound essence lies in the nature of their rocks, and in the dramatic events that have shaped them".
If your plans envolve skiing you should opt for Cortina, Arabba, and Selva Gardena. On the other hand, if you want to visit the villas and at the same time see the amazing white landscapes, you can go to Colfosco, Corvara, and San Cassiano.
In both cases, make sure you pass the Great Dolomites Road. it is considered one of the most beautiful roads in the world. Make the visit worth it!
Prague, Czech Republic
If you are looking for a winter destination that has snow (even if it is unpredictable), and at the same time, has the Christmas magic, then this city is for you.
Prague is a city full of life, history, and a cozy ambiance- especially during the Christmas festive season. On every corner, on every street, you will find Christmas markets where you can buy handcrafted presents, for all tastes.
Visiting this city has a "mandatory" rule. You have to taste the delicious hot mulled wine, and the trdelnÃk, a warm sugar-coated pastry.
Besides taking a good mod with you, don't forget to add a few more coats and scarfs to your backpack. It is never too much in these winter destinations. Trust on your friends.
