10Chase the Northern Lights
One of Lapland’s biggest draws is the chance to witness the aurora borealis, a celestial phenomenon that paints the night sky with ribbons of green, pink, and violet light. The best time to see the northern lights is between September and April, on clear, dark nights.
Head to remote locations away from artificial light for the best views. Places like Abisko National Park in Sweden and Rovaniemi in Finland are particularly famous for their aurora sightings. For an extra special experience, book a stay in a glass igloo or aurora cabin and watch the lights dance from the warmth of your bed.
Paris transforms into a glowing winter wonderland each December, and its Christmas markets are at the heart of the magic. From the iconic Tuileries Garden market to the charming stalls of Montmartre and the gourmet delights of the Alsatian village at Gare de l’Est, the city offers festive experiences you simply can’t miss. Discover seven of the most enchanting Parisian markets that bring together holiday lights, artisanal gifts, and irresistible seasonal treats.
