The Essentials

Winter Travel Inspiration

It’s still very much a buyer’s market for international travel, with airline tickets on average about 6% less than they were last year, and they’re about to drop again for winter.

 

So start planning now because the U.S. dollar is still strong.

 

And where are some of the best places to go this year? Check out the Christmas markets of Prague and Munich or try Ottawa in Canada for its winter festival.

 

Do you like music? Head for Salsburg, Austria, one of the great capitals of Christmas carols.

 

In fact, Silent Night was first performed there on Christmas Eve in 1818.
