Winter is actually an extraordinary time to travel to Europe — and one that experienced travelers often prefer to the crowded summer months. Paris in winter has a romantic, intimate quality. Rome’s Vatican Museums and Colosseum are accessible without summer’s epic queues. Barcelona’s streets belong to locals, not tour groups. And Europe’s Christmas markets — which run from late November through December in cities across Germany, Austria, France, and beyond — create a magical atmosphere that summer travel simply cannot match.
For ski enthusiasts, Europe’s Alpine resorts — Chamonix, Zermatt, St. Moritz, and the Austrian Arlberg — are at their best in January and February. Atlas Travel Center’s Europe specialists can help you plan a winter Europe trip that captures the season’s unique magic. Contact our advisors to explore winter Europe tour and cruise options.
