Whether you have an itch to hit the slopes, or are dreaming of escaping to somewhere warm, we love taking vacations in the winter. Now that we’ve all finally readjusted from the holiday madness, we all deserve a little break, right? Today we’ve rounded up our top 5 picks for Winter travel with tips on what to do while you’re there.

1. Aspen

We’ve officially hit peak ski season, everyone, so it’s time to embrace your inner snow bunny and hit the slopes. Whether you like to ski, or snowboard, a trip to aspen might just be the trip for you if you’re craving the cold. Just make sure you’re ready for some hot chocolate and après ski activities too. Sound like fun? Check out this post on 5 Things to Do in Aspen to help you plan your trip!

2. Venice

If you’re in the mood for some cooler temps, but not quite ready to brace yourself for the snow, Venice is the place for you. The romance of Italy also makes this the perfect vacation for you and your significant other. Take a stroll on the beach or bundle up for a gondola ride through the canals. Either way, a trip to Venice is sure to be a special one.

3. Barcelona

Similar to Venice, Barcelona will bring you cool weather without being completely freezing. What’s also nice is you get the excitement of being in a major city. Do some sightseeing during the day, and enjoy the fun Barcelona nightlife once the sun goes down. And, while you’re there, be sure to stop by La Boqueria to indulge in the regions best cheeses, charcuterie, and seafood. For more ideas of what do in Barcelona, check out Gray’s Travel Guide.

4. Miami

Now, for all of you who are dying to get away from the cold, don’t worry, we’ve got some ideas for you too. Miami is a perfect destination because you get the relaxation of the beach and the excitement of the city. In short, there’s no lack of things to do in Miami. If you love to explore and are looking for a break from the beach, take a day trip to the Wynwood district to take in all the colorful murals and snap some fun photos for your Instagram feed.

  1. The Bahamas

Last but certainly not least we’re left with the Bahamas. Perhaps the most relaxing destination on this list, the Bahamas makes the perfect island getaway. While there are many different islands to visit in the Bahamas, our favorite is Harbour Island for its pink sand beaches, which make it fully worth the extra effort it takes to get there. Another fun place to go in the Bahamas is Pig Beach in Exuma, where you’re greeted by cheerful pigs wading in the shallows of the ocean. Swimming with the pigs is definitely on our bucket lists now.
