BEST DESTINATION FOR EUROPEAN PLACES IN WINTER

BEST DESTINATION FOR EUROPEAN PLACES IN WINTER

 Winter is a great time to explore Europe because it is the cheapest time to travel a shoestring budget.Mid-December through to the end of February - and sometimes even into March - is definitely the best time to visit Europe for snow. Every year it seems that Europe's Christmas markets become more and more popular with tourists and they are a wonderful reason to visit Europe at this time of year.

The late fall and winter months –from mid/late October through mid/late March –are often the cheapest time to fly. Cold weather, of course, is partly to blame, but a winter vacation to Europe has its benefits.
Some fare tracker sites note that Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the two best days to fly if you want to save some coin. Thursdays and Saturdays: The next cheapest days of the week to fly are Thursday and Saturday. Saturday might sound like a popular and expensive day to fly.

Dublin, Ireland

If you're lucky and find yourself in the city of Dublin, there will be countless things for you to do and see while you're there.
Dublin, capital of the Republic of Ireland, is on Ireland’s east coast at the mouth of the River Liffey. Its historic buildings include Dublin Castle, dating to the 13th century, and imposing St Patrick’s Cathedral, founded in 1191.
Dublin is the most-populous settlement on the island of Ireland by population (1,173,179).
One of the easiest monuments to spot from afar, The Spire stands proudly in the center of O’Connell street towering approximately 120 meters above ground. This completely stainless-steel structure is about 3 meters in diameter at the base and 15 centimeters at its apex.

Take a trip to prehistoric Dublin by visiting the famous Dublin Castle. With over 800 years of Irish memories encapsulated within its walls, this incredible structure has borne witness to some of the most pivotal events in all of the country’s history. 

You've to take a walk over the Ha’penny Bridge which is famously known as the first pedestrian bridge to span over the river Liffey. 

Paris, France

Paris, France's capital, is a major European city and a global center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture. Its 19th-century cityscape is crisscrossed by wide boulevards and the River Seine. Beyond such landmarks as the Eiffel Tower and the 12th-century, Gothic Notre-Dame cathedral, the city is known for its cafe culture and designer boutiques along the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
What better way to start of your trip to Paris than with a visit to the Eiffel Tower. This is without doubt the most iconic landmark in Paris.

Saint Chapelle is a relatively small chapel that is not too far from Notre Dame, but the interior, which consists of almost floor to ceiling stained glass, is absolutely outstanding. It will definitely take your breath away.
No more than ten minutes walk from Sainte Chapelle is Paris’s most famous religious building, known for her flying buttresses, twin towers and, of course, hunchback resident.

You will definitely see two out of those three when you visit Notre Dame, the major Catholic cathedral in Paris.

Paris is always a good idea. During the winter, it's a great idea—especially when you see how Parisians enjoy a snow day.

Vienna ,Austria 

Vienna, Austria’s capital, lies in the country’s east on the Danube River. Its artistic and intellectual legacy was shaped by residents including Mozart, Beethoven and Sigmund Freud. The city is also known for its Imperial palaces. Vienna is the seventh-most-populous city in the European Union by population within city limits (1,899,055).
Vienna has a world famous state opera house which dates from 1869 and has played host to some of the world’s most famous singers and conductors. If you are particularly interested in the Opera, then a night here watching a performance is likely to be an experience you will never forget.
If you’re interested in learning more about the history of Vienna, we suggest heading to the Vienna Museum, or Wien Museum. 

Right next to the Wien Museum is the beautifully ornate Karlskirche, or St. Charles Church. This is an 18th century Baroque style church with two impressive spiral columns on the exterior. It was built by Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI, largely to celebrate the end of the plague in the city, and is dedicated to St. Charles, known as a plague healer.

Danube Tower was originally built to host the 1964 Viennese Horticultural show, is the tallest structure in Austria. From the viewing platforms, which are 450ft above ground level, you get an excellent view of the entire city and much of the surrounding area.

Berlin, Germany

Berlin, Germany’s capital, dates to the 13th century. Reminders of the city's turbulent 20th-century history include its Holocaust memorial and the Berlin Wall's graffitied remains.
Germany is known around the world for its Christmas markets—its capital city alone has more than 60 of them, including the incredibly picturesque WeihnachtsZauber, which is surrounded by such landmarks as Französischer Dom and the Konzerthaus. But don't think the Berlin's wintery appeal starts and ends with the holidays. Travelers can enjoy the city's Michelin-starred restaurants, buzzing nightclubs, and edgy museums well into the early months of 2019.

Prague, Czech Republic

Prague, capital city of the Czech Republic, is bisected by the Vltava River. Nicknamed “the City of a Hundred Spires,” it's known for its Old Town Square, the heart of its historic core, with colorful baroque buildings, Gothic churches and the medieval Astronomical Clock, which gives an animated hourly show.
Prague is the most densely populated European Union city proper (4,410 people per km²).
Prague is well-known for its beautiful architecture, but there is so much more to this well-loved city. Yes, we're referring to Czech food – its diverse flavors presented in dishes such as the potato soup, fruit dumplings and apple strudel.

Since Prague is situated in the temperate latitude of the Earth, the city has a temperate climate with quite chilly winters. At the same time, average precipitation is at its lowest during the winter months, so there is usually not a lot of snow in Prague.

There are so many Christmas Markets in Prague. They’re all magical, sparkly, ultra-European slices of fairytale heaven.  One major advantage to the Prague Christmas Markets is that they continue into advent season, in January. The Old Town Square in the center of Prague is probably the most famous of Prague’s Christmas Markets.

In January, catch the The Three Kings procession on January 6th. You can also still visit the holiday exhibition in the Bethlehem chapel.
When it’s freezing cold outside, there is nothing better than tucking into some warm, stick-to-your-bones comfort food. 

A walking tour of Prague is the best way to immerse yourself in the stunning European architecture. Sure, it’s cold, but you’ll warm up as you walk!
