Being a true born and raised Floridian, I absolutely love winter vacations. The best part about traveling in the winter time is a get to come back home to the nice Florida heat.
But no, I really do love visiting the cold. Getting to wear chunky sweaters, scarves, and boots; enjoying hot chocolate as I walk outside; and getting to remind myself how lucky I am that I do not have to scrap snow and ice off my car every morning.
While I may not be taking a winter wonderland vacation this year, I can continue to grow my bucket list just like you all should as well! If you are looking for inspiration, I’ll give you a peek into my winter travel bucket list.
- Paris, France
- While Paris always sounds magical, something about it is winter makes it so much more appealing to me. The twinkling lights in the storefronts and streets makes baring the cold sound wonderful.
- London, England
- While I have done a fall getaway to London, I would love to visit closer to Christmas to see all the décor and Christmas markets.
- New York City, New York
- While I have taken a New York winter trip, it is one of my top bucket list items to take my mom to New York City at Christmas time. She would adore all the holiday décor from the Macy’s windows, to the Saks light show, to the famous Rockefeller Christmas tree.
- Vail, Colorado
- Nothing sounds more bougie than a Colorado winter holiday. While I don’t ski or snowboard, no better time to learn while staying a fancy mountain resort. Plus, Vail in the summer was a huge highlight of mine, and I have been told winters are even better.
- Basel, Switzerland
- While this is on my summer and winter bucket list, I have been dreaming of visiting the Swiss Alps for years. To see them covered in white snow sounds like an absolute dream out of some kind of fairytale novel. Also, Basel has the top-rated Christmas market in Europe, and that sounds like a perfect reason to plan a trip.
