Lake Bled and Ljubljana in Winter<\/h2>\n

\"Slovenia<\/p>\n

Visiting Slovenia in winter is becoming increasingly popular, along with the Baltic countries nearby. It could be something to do with the picturesque towns, set against a backdrop of moody mountains, dusted with snow and twinkling with lights. Or perhaps it’s the festive markets, rich with the scent of spiced wines and baked goods. Either way, whether it’s a brisk walk in the mountain air around Lake Bled, or cosying up for a hearty meal in the eclectic city of Ljubljana, Slovenia in winter has something for all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Quieter Streets of Paris<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"paris<\/p>\n

Paris is quieter in winter, which means discovering the tucked away haunts only the locals know about. You can see the whole city sparkle at night, pick up some festive treats from a Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es chocolatier, and amble along winding cobbled lanes and avenues without the crowds. Pop over to the Louvre for shelter from the chilly weather and the best view of the Mona Lisa you’ll get all year.<\/p>\n

Christmas Markets in Dresden, Germany<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Europe is famous for its Christmas markets, and Dresden is the ideal destination to embrace the winter wonderland spirit whole-heartedly. From the end of November until Christmas Eve, the city is home to Striezelmarkt, the oldest Christmas market in Germany. Sip mulled wine, snack on bratwurst and traditional Christstollen fruit cake, and find hand-crafted treasures to take back home. If you manage to drag yourself away from this giant glittering grotto, check out some of the city’s wonderful historic architecture like Zwinger Palace and the Opera House.<\/p>\n
