St. Petersburg

Whether you’re going to migrate to warmer areas, or have fun in the snow, it’s entirely up to your choice, but in this article we will give you a couple of perfect places to start your adventure!

  1. Quebec City, Canada

Quebec City Winter

Canada is known for the snowy, cold climate that seemingly lasts all year long, and although that might be a drag to locals who need to live under those conditions, it creates a ton of places which are picture perfect for a winter getaway. In my book, Quebec City takes the number one spot. One look at the Quebec Winter Festival is enough to take your breath away, and the cobbled streets covered in snow make Quebec City the ideal destination. The annual Light Festival is a cannot miss attraction, and when you get tired, stop by one of the well-known restaurants offering magnificent food. Don’t forget to pack on a lot of warm clothes,  and you’re guaranteed to have a great trip!

Campers and thrill-seekers simply cannot get enough of this paradise on Earth, as Tonga offers tons of adventures, such as swimming in an underground lake or jumping from a shipwreck!

Owned by Vail Resorts, this is by far the largest ski resort in the United States. If you aren’t interested in traveling abroad, here’s your best alternative. Don’t think that this is a compromise, though, as this former mining village definitely has its charm. Apart from phenomenal ski trails, Park City also offers an array of dazzling restaurants and coffee shops as well as boutiques baiting you to buy perfectly tailored clothes.
