When the temperatures drop and you want to get away, what do you dream of? Is it silky golden sands lapped by aquamarine waters or the smell of glühwein and the sound of jolly carols? Maybe it’s the snow-topped mountains that are waiting to fill your camera roll? Whichever way you like to spend your winter – we’ve got you covered with our range of breaks..

Warm up

Hello, sunshine-lovers! Long time, no sea? We’re here to help you change that! Turn up the heat this winter when you head to one of the many winter-sun destinations on our map. The beloved Canaries might come to mind first and rightly so – boasting toasty temps of up to 22°C in the coldest season, the Spanish isles should be at the top of your book-it list this winter. Fancy something different? Say bye-bye to the cold in Cyprus! Pretty Paphos heats up to 19°C and there’s plenty to see and. Frame your days around the stunning coastline, home to the wonderous Aphrodite’s Rock, among other things.

Wrap up
Prefer to warm up by tasting hearty cuisine or the local twist on mulled wine, and wrapping up in a scarf? Jingle all the way to the Christmas markets then! From our newest additions on ourmap, Bratislava, Malmo and Gdansk, to classics like Budapest and Krakow, you’ve got lots of choice. The snow-covered spires of Prague look enchanting during the festive period and few things are as magical as hearing a classical concert in Vienna around this time of the year. For the ultimate Christmas market experience, hop over to Cologne – this German city sure knows how to dress up for the festivities.

Lastly, we have those who can’t wait for the first snow to fall… the skiers and snowboarders. Ready to ski-daddle to the slopes? From French classics Chambery and Lyon to Austrian favourites Innsbruck and Salzburg, you can discover Europe’s gateways with Jet2.com. Not tried skiing yet? Few can say no to some après action and you can always find beginner-friendly resorts too!

So, which winter escape is right for you? Will it be the magical Christmas markets, magnificent mountain views or some vitamin D on a footprint-free beach? Decide and we’ll take care of the rest…
