With fewer tourists and a frosted skyline of Baroque domes and soaring Gothic spires, Prague in winter can feel like a snow-filled fairy tale. However, even the most resilient travelers will need breaks to relax and defrost frozen fingers and toes, ideally with a tasty drink or warm meal to enjoy. With average temperatures between December and February hovering around 0°C (32°F), winter visitors to Prague are well-advised to pack their thermals. The required jumble of layers is certainly worth it: Prague’s Christmas markets rank among the most beautiful in Europe. Moreover, January and February bring an uncharacteristic hush – you may even find the normally crowded Charles Bridge nearly empty.

With wistful, misty peaks, ancient hidden temples, otherworldly karst outcrops, and dense jungle teeming with wildlife, Thailand offers a veritable feast for hikers.
In subtropical Taiwan, hiking is practically a national sport. Despite being less than half the size of Scotland, this island boasts a diverse topography with more than 260 peaks exceeding 3,000m (9,843ft).

Much of Finland snuggles under a blanket of dense, wild forest, providing habitats for diverse and magnificent species.

Moreover, these experiences are ethical, as the Finns are remarkably in tune with nature. Here’s a glimpse of some fascinating wildlife adventures.
