There's a wonderful Norwegian saying - “Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær!” that translates to “There is no bad weather, only bad clothing!” If you are properly prepared, winter can be a fantastic time to experience Europe. With fewer people sharing its tracks and trails, it can lead to more authentic interactions, more solitude and unique opportunities that you may never considered before. Why not try something new by visiting one of Europe’s winter wonderlands, like Sweden or Iceland, or visit a popular walking or cycling destination in December, January or February to experience a different side of classic countries like Spain, Portugal and Ireland. There is no shortage of landscapes, landmarks, cultures and gastronomic delights to be enjoyed year-round in Europe.
