and cozy changes for winter sports lovers, Park City, the ski capital and site of the Sundance Film Festival, is on our list of 
the Best Places to Go in the US this year.
Come by at any time between December and March to witness The Greatest Snow on Earth; the state of Utah has 
trademarked the phrase.

These 74 islands are located in the crystal-clear seas of the South Pacific, just off the coast of Queensland, Australia.
Take a plane to Hamilton Island, the biggest of the archipelago; sail a yacht whale-watching season during the warmer 
summer waters in the Southern Hemisphere;
 see the Great Barrier Reef; and discover more about the Ngaro Aboriginal people, the land's traditional indigenous 
owners.
3. Zermatt, Switzerland
With 223 miles of courses spread across four vast ski areas, some of which are over 10,000 feet high, Zermatt, which is 
flanked by some of the tallest peaks in the Alps, receives snowfall for a long season.
With its cutting-edge lift system and chic après-ski tasks, this lovely Alpine hamlet is located at the base of 
Switzerland's most well-known peak, the Matterhorn.
4. Canary Islands, Spain
Although it's not quite warm enough to swim off the white sand beaches of Spain's Canary Islands in the winter, the off-
season costs, fewer tourists, and stunning views more than make up for it. In equity, the island of Gran Canaria, located 
off the northwest coast of Africa, is reputed to have the world's finest climate.
5. New York City
When it comes to the holiday events, few places can match New York City. Have you already enjoyed such timeless 
customs as the Nutcracker at Lincoln Center, the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes, ice skating in 
Central Park, or the lighting of the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center?
Additionally, the city has some of the northeast's greatest skiing, if that interests you. You may create some surprise ones 
of your own by following our advice.
6. San Diego, California
San Diego is home to two megastores that sell Christmas decorations, making it the unofficial Christmas (merchandise) 
capital of the United States. Holiday shoppers visit San Diego all year long.
Who would refuse immaculate beaches and easy-luxury hotels any day of the year? 
Maybe it's the contrast between the timeless wintery aesthetics and the always-bright levels that makes Southern 
California the ideal location for winter vacations.
7. Srinagar, India
Visit Srinagar, the most populated city in the Kashmir Valley, to experience a winter paradise on the Indian 
subcontinent.
Srinagar was included in our global list of the 23 Best Places to Go in 2023 because of the start of hip new 
hotels and the region's growing infrastructure, which make travel more simple than it has ever been.
Enjoy a multicourse wazwan meal to stay warm, and sip steaming cups of Kashmiri saffron tea, or kahwa, 
to wash it all down.
8. New Zealand
It's now simpler than ever to travel to New Zealand because of new direct flights that operate from the US 
mainland to places like Auckland and Christchurch.
While it is a year-round resort, visitors from the Northern Hemisphere will find the Kiwi summer, which runs 
from December to February, to be a pleasant change of pace.
Enjoy Wellington's gourmet take on Maori food or Auckland's Sichuan-style slow-cooked New Zealand lamb.
9. Roatán, Honduras
Roatán, the most developed of the Bay Islands, is primarily known as a haven for divers. Its 31-mile shoreline 
is nearly entirely covered in biodiverse coral reefs, which are home to West Indian manatees, dolphins, and 
colorful fish. Better still?
On one of Virgin Voyages' Caribbean cruises, which include the Honduran island as one of its several port calls, 
you may go to Roatán.
10. Luxor, Egypt
Since time travel hasn't been created yet, your best option is to travel to one of the world's oldest cities. Have you 
visited Luxor, the location of some of Egypt's most famous sites, such as the majestic Colossi of Memnon and the 
Valley of the Kings, where you can see King Tutankhamun's tomb?
Although Egypt's winter months are the busiest, with more tourists drawn by the milder conditions, it's still worth 
battling the throng to keep from catching fire.
11. Isla Mujeres, Mexico
Although Isla Mujeres is often thought of as a side excursion from Cancún, it is a destination unto itself.
Compared to the beaches on the other side of the bay, Playa Norte's main beach is considerably calmer, has mild, 
shallow seas, and is composed of crushed coral. Note to scuba divers.
The island is home to the world's highest concentration of whale sharks.
12. Salzburg, Austria
Standard Mozart's birthplace, Salzburg, is split by the Salzach River, with the (slightly) modern side on the right and 
the pedestrian Old City on the left. Go no farther than the Hotel Goldener Hirsch for a stay that includes soft beds, 
gingerbread cookies, and views of the snow falling.
13. Zakynthos, Greece
Your heart will skip a beat when you witness the white sand beaches and dazzling seas of Navagio Bay in Zakynthos, 
even if all Greek islands seem to be bordered by that stunning hue of emerald blue.
Its remote setting, secured by towering cliffs on both sides, may be the reason why its turquoise waters the 
complete opposite of winter grays remain so flawless and pristine.
14. Jackson Hole, Wyoming
This valley, backed by the Tetons, is a veritable winter paradise. Naturally, it helps if you want to spend the 
majority of your time skiing, as Jackson Hole is renowned for its 3,000 acres of difficult vertical slopes as well as 
accessible backcountry terrain.
However, Teton Village and the town of Jackson provide plenty of après-ski activities for those who do not wish 
to hit the snow. And let's be honest, there's a compelling reason to spend time in Caldera House.
15. The Azores
Flying to an island for the chilly weather might seem odd, but the Azores, an archipelago in the center of the 
North Atlantic, will captivate you with its crisp, clean air. You will be able to enjoy a new type of sweater 
weather thanks to the lush foliage and fun cool. Also, the flight from the US takes only five hours.
16. Finnish Lapland
If you can picture the most perfect winter sight, Finnish Lapland can certainly provide.
Few locations provide the opportunity to see Santa Claus, ride a reindeer sleigh, or spend the night in a bubble 
sled beneath the Northern Lights, but Lapland offers all three.
17. Chiang Mai, Thailand
The climate in Chiang Mai, Thailand, is rarely colder than 60 degrees, and it is encircled by misty mountains, 
golden temples, and lush rice terraces.
Every street in the old city is covered in flowers and plants for three days during the city's
 Flower Festival, which takes place every year on the first weekend of February.
18. Cape Town
Due to favorable weather, South Africa's safari circuit takes a backseat to Africa's most cosmopolitan 
metropolis from December to March. The restaurant, hotel, and nightlife scenes of Cape Town are at their 
peak during the summer months in the Southern Hemisphere. Also, it's the growing season in the winelands 
of South Africa, which are only a short drive from Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Swartland.
19. Greenland
Greenland is one of the world's most pristine natural areas, icy and enigmatic. Although the world's largest 
non-continental island is home to stunning glaciers, it is much more than that. Picture sheep meadows, 
vibrant communities, and stunning fjords. An amazing winter destination is created when you combine it 
with views of the northern lights.
20. Fernando de Noronha, Brazil
Travel 220 kilometers off the northeastern coast of Brazil to the stunning archipelago of Fernando de 
Noronha if you find the well-known beaches of Rio de Janeiro to be too crowded.Conclusion
