Spending
the Christmas and New Year’s holiday weeks with family and friends is the
longstanding tradition in most of the Western world, but most of the people
made it a tradition to spend these peaceful and fascinating days on vacation.
Some go to the cities where they can experience the outstanding Christmas in
snowy, bright lights, some visit cities where they can get warm under the smiling
sun, splashing the crystal clear sea.
Here, we have listed the best cities where you can feel the Christmas spirit
from head to toe, and we have made a hotel recommendation for each city to rest
yourselves during that time. Just book your rooms online with up to 70% off
prices and win a member reward of 3% on every booking. 3D Secure Payment and
Best Price are guaranteed!
1)
Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland
While legends
dating as far back as the 1820s cite the North Pole as the official home of
Santa Claus and his jolly missus, the Finns would have us believe
otherwise. For them, Rovaniemi,
Lapland, located just north of the Arctic Circle, is Christmas HQ. Here,
children make gingerbread cookies with Mrs. Claus, enroll in Elf School or take
a calligraphy class and compose their Christmas wish lists with a traditional
quill.
Our
Recommendation: City
Hotel Rovaniemi - Rovaniemi, Finland
