Travel Tips and Tricks

Useful articles for traveling, 10 best european cities to visit in winter.

#1 in Best Winter Vacations in Europe

Why go: A winter visit to Rome may have you bundling up to see iconic sights like the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain, but you'll have ample opportunities to warm up, too. Head indoors to admire Michelangelo's famous Sistine Chapel frescoes before sampling some of the city's world-renowned pizza and wine.

#2 in Best Winter Vacations in Europe

Why go: The charms of Paris are alive and well in winter. Warm up while sipping coffee in romantic cafes, and spend time visiting heated indoor museums like the Musée du Louvre, the Musée Rodin or the Musée d'Orsay, which are less crowded this time of year.

#3 in Best Winter Vacations in Europe

Why go: Prague's castles and underground restaurants are perfect spots to seek refuge from the city's harsh winters. For those willing to brave the cold, there are also festive options like Prague's beloved Christmas markets and outdoor ice skating rinks.

#4 in Best Winter Vacations in Europe

Why go: Winter is Venice, Italy's low season. Although you'll still find many visitors during this time of year, you can expect lines to be shorter and airfare and hotel rates to be cheaper. If you visit in January and February, you'll witness the exciting festivities of Carnevale.

#5 in Best Winter Vacations in Europe

Why go: Winters in Amsterdam can be chilly, but those willing to endure the cold will enjoy significantly discounted hotel rooms and flights. Most of Amsterdam's attractions are open year-round, and during the winter months, the city offers holiday festivities and many places to ice skate.

#6 in Best Winter Vacations in Europe

Why go: Vienna welcomes winter with advent markets, public ice skating rinks and plenty of lavish parties. Add wintry touches like snow-covered rooftops and nearby ski slopes into the mix and you'll find yourself in a European winter wonderland.

#7 in Best Winter Vacations in Europe

Why go: This French port city's winters may not be filled with snow, but its cool weather and popular Christmas market help set the scene for the holidays. And no visit would be complete without sampling some of the region's world-renowned vino at one of downtown's wine bars.

#8 in Best Winter Vacations in Europe

Why go: In Spain's Andalucía province, summer temperatures can be hot to the point of unbearable. Reserve Seville for a winter escape to experience its Old World ambiance and charming seasonal traditions (think: nativity scenes and holiday markets) while enjoying cooler temperatures, fewer crowds and lower hotel rates.

#9 in Best Winter Vacations in Europe

Why go: If you like the idea of beautiful castles, cathedrals and other Baroque architecture covered in snow, one look at Salzburg, Austria, might be enough to lure you in. Add in Christmas bazaars and nearby skiing destinations, and you'll likely be sold on vacationing in this charming city.

#10 in Best Winter Vacations in Europe

Why go: You'll definitely need to don cold weather attire for a wintertime trip to Germany's trendiest city, but the snow-lined streets and rooftops are eye-catching. Not only will you save on lodging, but you'll have the chance to experience Berlin's lively open-air Christmas markets.

My 10 Best Travel Tips After 30 Years of Traveling the World

#1 - Travel Insurance. No one ever wants to have a bad vacation, or plans on loosing their luggage. Travel insurance can literally be life saving. Ask your travel agent about plans for your next trip.

#2 - Alert Your Bank and Credit Card Company of Your Travel Plans

This is a great habit to get into if you don’t want your credit card company or bank to put a hold on your card while you are overseas.

#3 - Store important documents in the clouds. This can be everything from Passport information, to your complete travel itinerary. If you ever loose your documents, or even your cell, your documents will always be just a few clicks away from any computer!

#4 - Global Entry. If you travel a lot, and dislike waiting in security lines then Global Entry is for you. Once you have completed the application and qualified, you will always be PSA pre-checked for all domestic and International flights. You will also be fast-tracked through immigration for International arrival. Once you have experienced this service, you will never look back at waiting in line!

#5 - Ask The Locals!

We always ask the locals to point us to the best restaurants, awesome spots to watch the sunset, the best coffee shops, etc. Another great resource are Fire departments, and they are global. The crew knows the area (it's their job), and they know the best things to do as well as places to eat. Best of all, the love to help!

#6 - Let Someone at Home Know Your Plans. This is extremely important when traveling solo, but it’s still a good idea no matter how many people are in your travel group. This person may also be listed on your travel insurance. Having a point person at home is always a great idea.

#7 - Beware of Free Public WIFI

I always try to avoid logging into bank accounts or entering any passwords while I’m using free public WIFI at a place like an airport. I’m not as strict about it once I’ve gotten to my hotel, especially if they have a password for their wifi. I recommend always using a VPN at home or traveling!

#8 - Put your Hotel Address and phone number in Your Phone. This way if you are ever lost, you will always make it back to your hotel.

#9 - Enquire about the price BEFORE You Take Public Transportation. If you are already used to using app's like Uber or Bolt where you see the price BEFORE you agree to book a ride, then do the same no matter where you are at.

#10 - Put Electronics, Medications, Toothbrush, and an Extra Pair of Underwear in Your Carry-on.

A few important items should always go in your carry-on. A swimsuit is also a good idea if you are going on a beach vacation. You can buy most of these things if your bag gets lost, but having them in your carry-on will save you money and time if your luggage gets lost in transit.
