Best Places to Warm Your Toes in the Wintertime – The falling of autumn leaves and lingering warm temperatures almost made you forget that winter was on its way. Once the dreary weather sets in, you break out some hot cocoa, and settle in for a long, winter’s nap – but, why? When there are places around the world where settling in for a slumber can be so much more inviting than your same old digs. Spending some time in Finland or the Czech Republic could make your winter months go by oh, so quickly.
When you ponder where the best place is to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights, the general consensus is Lapland, Finland, tucked into a down-feather sleeping bag beneath a glass-paneled ceiling of your own private igloo. Can you imagine? It really does exist! At Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, snow begins falling early in October, so by November the landscape is fully tucked in for a long, winter’s night. For two, long months, the sun doesn’t rise above the horizon. While you might be tempted to stay warm beneath your blanket of stars, there are a ton of outdoor activities in the region, such as ice fishing and skiing. You’ll also discover reindeer – there’s nothing quite like a snowmobile safari!
Many locations are the reason for the trip, but sometimes you find a hotel, like the one mentioned above, that quickly becomes the reason you depart your comfortable abode. The Czech Republic is a wonderful historic location to explore, but what truly makes this getaway special is the Art Deco Imperial. It’s one of the Republic’s most prestigious addresses. Legendary doesn’t begin to cover the timelessness of this hotel. Your Art Deco suite is brightly complemented by those creature comforts you just can’t live without – flat-screen TVs, walk-in showers with rainfall heads, and a bathroom floor that’s heated. You will definitely enjoy just soaking up the relaxation, but leaving out a stroll around the Old Town would be remiss. The atmosphere is though time hasn’t passed since Medieval times. Baroque churches, festive markets, and Gothic cathedrals and convents prove that time is something that can truly stand still.
