February marks the end of winter. People who dislike the cold will seek out warm travel destinations around this time of year, but those who enjoy winter activities may be sad that winter is leaving. So, depending on where you travel, you can either enjoy winter more or escape the cold. The content I prepared today is about overseas travel destinations in February, which are more romantic and beautiful if you leave at the end of winter. From Europe to Asia and America, we have prepared without prejudice(?), so if there is a travel destination you like, start planning now.
Based on our recommendations for travel destinations in February!
Spain, Madrid
Madrid, Spain
The first overseas travel destination to be introduced in February is Madrid, Spain. Madrid, which has been mentioned so many times here and there that I feel like I should visit it at least once, is said to have an off-season in February every year. Therefore, although it is difficult to see festivals or events, you can leisurely stroll around the Spanish city and enjoy sightseeing at your own pace. They also say that hotels and airfares are cheaper, so you can save on travel expenses. Representative tourist attractions in Madrid, Spain include the Prado Museum, Temple of Debod, Real Madrid Stadium, Royal Palace and Gardens of Madrid, and Cibeles Palace.
Italy
Italy
Most people avoid Italy as a travel destination in February. This is because outdoor activities are difficult in chilly weather. However, in Italy in February, you can find cheaper hotel rates, airfares, and travel packages. Therefore, February is the best time for those who were unable to plan a trip to Italy due to budget issues. Although the temperature is cold, it does not boast extreme cold like in our country. They also say that a city without crowds allows for leisurely sightseeing, and it is easy to take pictures at major tourist attractions. Representative Italian tourist destinations in February include Sicily, Abruzzo, Calabria, and Apulia.
Croatia, Zagreb
Croatia, Zagreb
Zagreb, Croatia is said to have the lowest hotel rates of the year in February. This is because it is off-peak season. This means that a pleasant and leisurely trip is possible with fewer crowds. Also, as Zagreb is the capital of Croatia, it has a unique architectural style and various cathedrals, universities, and museums to visit. Although it is a city center, there are mountains and beaches nearby, so you can walk around the sea and even go skiing. Around this time every year, the St. Blaise Festival and Carnival Festival are held, but accommodation costs can be a bit expensive during this time, so please keep this in mind if you are planning a trip to Croatia in February.
France, Nice
Nice, France
When you think of France, everyone probably thinks of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Some may also think of Provence, where lavender flowers are in full bloom. However, if you want to visit France as a travel destination in February, you should definitely choose Nice. This is because the Carnival Festival is held in Nice, France every February. This festival is one of the oldest Carnival festivals in Europe and boasts its own tradition and splendor. Held from mid-February to early March, the festival is filled with parades, elaborate floats, fresh flowers and captivating performances. At this time of year, the temperature in Nice, France is relatively cold, ranging from 4 to 12 degrees, but there is no need to worry about rain.
USA, Colorado
USA, Colorado
The fifth overseas travel destination to be introduced in February is Colorado, USA. There are countless travel destinations in the United States, but the reason I chose Colorado was because it was the perfect place to enjoy the last days of winter. Colorado, USA, has 3,000 acres of ski resorts and 169 trails, making it a dream destination for skiers around the world. They say you can also receive top-class service at the hundreds of hotels and resorts nearby. However, since this time of year is not peak season in Colorado, it is recommended to book hotels and flights in advance.
Canada, Banff
Canada, Banff
February travel destination Banff, Canada is also a great place to enjoy the last days of winter. At this time of year, Banff is completely covered in snow, creating a quiet yet majestic atmosphere. In addition to skiing, various winter activities are also possible. Representative examples include dog sledding, skating, snowshoeing, and snow climbing. You can also see frozen waterfalls at Johnston Canyon. Isn't it too cold to be in Canada in the winter? I think some people are worried. Although Canada is a country that gets particularly cold in the winter, don't worry too much if you're planning a trip to Banff. The lowest temperature is around 8 degrees, making it warmer than not only other Canadian cities but also Korea!
Hawaii, Maui
Hawaii, Maui
Maui, Hawaii, a must-visit destination before you die, is also recommended as an overseas travel destination in February. This time of year on Maui, there is little rain and the weather is sunny, which means there are lots of things to do at the beach. Representative activities include snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, swimming, free diving, and recreation. You can also see an active volcano in nearby Haleakala National Park, and the sunrise seen here is said to be truly spectacular. However, it is a good time for families on winter and spring vacations to flock here, so it is recommended to reserve hotels and flights in advance.
Jamaica
Jamaica
If you want a more special vacation destination, we recommend Jamaica on the African continent. The reason we introduce Jamaica as a travel destination in February is because it is warm and dry, so you can find soft sand and calm beaches. Like Hawaii, you can enjoy a variety of water sports and relax. During your break, you can also visit ‘Dongan Falls’, ‘Bob Marley Museum’, and ‘Cool Running Water Park’. Also, since Jamaica is the home of reggae, it is said that reggae performances are held day and night around this time every year. It seems somehow new that such passionate travel is possible in a relatively cold and calm season.
Tanzania, Zanzibar
Tanzania, Zanzibar
Tanzania is also a good African continent to visit in February. Other regions are beautiful, but Zanzibar in particular boasts a hot and dry climate and moderate beach temperatures. You can enjoy activities such as diving, snorkeling, and swimming, and the clear water allows you to observe sea turtles, dolphins, and beautiful coral reefs. It is also said that watching the sunset from Zanzibar Beach is an unforgettable experience. In the United States, they say there's a reason to save for months to travel to Zanzibar, Tanzania. If the flight time isn't too long and we can communicate well, I'd like to visit at least once!
manila philippines
Philippines, Manila
Every February, the dry season comes to Manila, Philippines. Although it is close, if you are reluctant to visit the Philippines due to the unique weather in Southeast Asia, this time of year may be a good time. The Philippines is made up of nearly 7,000 islands, so there are many places to visit, but the reason why we recommend Manila, the capital, is because there are many things to enjoy, such as museums, gardens, markets, squares, and shopping malls. It is also relatively easy to travel to other regions such as Boracay, Bohol, or Palawan using domestic flights. Isn’t this a great overseas travel destination for February?
In addition, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Costa Rica, and New Zealand were good options for overseas travel in February. Among them, we tried to introduce more attractive travel destinations. For me, who prefers far away places rather than close places and new places rather than familiar places, Tanzania and Jamaica seemed particularly attractive. I think about this every time, but I wish I could be fluent in English too. Even if I only speak English, I feel like the only thing I can endure is racism... …
