Winter time is there and although it's not too rough until now, it still is more cozy inside in front of the fire then it is outside. Especially if you're living in the North of Europe or Scandinavia and if you are not one of the I-give-a-XXX-about-the-cold-and-go-kiting-every-single-windy-day-personalities, you might think about finding an escape.
Here are some of the spots we recommend to go to and experience during European winter.
