Ten Top Christmas Vacation Spots
Following are 10 dream sites from the US News list, with comments from the article:
- Prague. “During December, the capital of the Czech Republic turns into a winter wonderland you’ve got to see to believe. Twinkling lights blanket the city’s medieval architecture, and its Christmas markets are some of the best in the world. Plus, many of Prague’s top attractions – including Old Town Square and the Charles Bridge – are free, so you won’t have to spend a fortune to sightsee.”
- Rome. “Admire the impressive Christmas trees in Piazza Venezia, next to the Colosseum and in Vatican City’s St. Peter’s Square before checking out the world’s oldest permanent nativity scene at the Patriarchal Basilica of St. Mary Major.”
- Aspen. “A haven for skiers thanks to its 76 runs and highly regarded après-ski scene. What’s more, Aspen is home to multiple luxury resorts with cozy fireplaces and luxe spas for relaxing.”
- Maldives. “When you’re not swimming with tropical fish or sunbathing on white sand beaches, unwind with a spa treatment in an overwater bungalow. Several Maldivian resorts host Santa meet and greets, Christmas food markets and more in December to get you in the holiday spirit.”
- Salzburg. “Every December, locals don horned masks, pelts and bells as they chase spectators throughout the Old Town much like the folk creature Krampus is said to have done to scare naughty children.”
- Jerusalem. “For a truly unforgettable vacation, visit Jerusalem . An important pilgrimage destination, the Holy Land is especially busy during the holidays.”
- Honolulu – Oahu. “Although December marks the start of Oahu’s peak tourist season, its abundant Christmas activities, warm weather and terrific whale watching opportunities make it a great time to visit.”
- Quebec City. “Can’t hop across the pond for a European holiday? This Canadian city is the next best thing.”
- Park City, UT. “Festive singalong shows at Park City, Utah’s iconic Egyptian Theatre are guaranteed to get even the most Grinch-like travelers into the holiday spirit.”
- Charleston, SC. “Daytime temperatures hover in the 50s and 60s in December, giving visitors the chance to comfortably enjoy the outdoor Holiday Festival of Lights and Christmas-themed walking tours through the historic district.”
