The 5 best travel destinations for a winter vacation? according to Airbnb
To be completely honest, we hardly knew any of the popular ones, dieAirbnb in its new trend reporthas presented. The most popular holiday destinations were determined based on global search queries compared to the previous year: The travel destinations with the greatest growth in the period from November 1st to December 31st, 2024 made it to the top of the list. Airbnb has created a top ten of the best travel destinations for a winter holiday, and we have summarized them in a crisp top five. Here these:
1. Brazil
Brazil seems to be particularly well received by people from all over the world. But it's also not a bad idea to retreat to warmer climes in winter, where it is also summer at that time. Southern Hemisphere, you understand. A total of four Brazilian travel destinations can be found in the ranking, includingJoinville, the largest city in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, nestled in a beautiful natural landscape of mountains, forests and the adjacent sea. Joinville was once the center of German colonization in Brazil and still acknowledges its European roots through numerous events such as the Fenachopp, a music and dance festival in October. A few kilometers further southItajai, a much smaller but worth seeing city with museums, historical monuments and adjacent nature parks. If you want something more urban and lively, you should travel to the north of the country in winter. There liesFortaleza, oneto Rio, which is not quite as crowded as the tourist magnet at Copacabana. You can swim even better in the neighboring townCaucaia, there are several sandy and bathing beaches in the northern parts of the popular travel destination. You should find it there.

2. Spain
If you are not planning a long-distance trip but would rather stay in Europe, a trip to Spain is the best choice. At least that's what the trend report shows with the most popular and best travel destinations for a winter holiday, simply because no other European country is as warm as it is here. According to Airbnb there are three, which are particularly worthwhile in winter 2024. Below you can findLogroño, a picturesque, time-honored town in the Rioja region, where good wine is not just the name but also the program. There are small wineries everywhere where you can taste the new vintage in winter. If you are wondering why there are so many young people running around in Logroño: the city is home to the well-known University of La Rioja and therefore also numerous students from all over the country. But it's not really warm here in winter, so you'd have to travel further south, for exampleCheste, as Airbnb recommends. The community is located not far from Valencia and is very popular due to its small, picturesque cityscape. But you can't really go on a summer holiday in winter here. But inSanta Cruz de La Palma, the capital of the Canary Island of La Palma.here an average of seven hours per day and causes temperatures to rise to an average of 17 degrees. Just what we need right now.
3. Mexico
The sun actually always shines in Mexico. Reason enough to put the country on the list of the best travel destinations in winter 2024. Airbnb found out that the cityHeroica Veracruz, also simply called Veracruz, seems to be particularly popular with tourists from all over the world. They all want to enjoy the pleasant temperatures, the picturesque old town and the beautiful landscape that surrounds the city. There are also a number of impressive sights such as the San Carlos Fortress or the numerous temples, which are guaranteed to never make a trip to Veracruz boring. And when you've had enough of sightseeing and walking around, you can simply sit down in one of the many restaurants that serve top-quality authentic Mexican cuisine. Exactly to our taste.
4. Australia
A trip to Australia is never a bad idea. Especially in winter, when it is bitterly cold and rainy here, you are rewarded with the best weather on this remote continent. Of course, you first have to put up with a few hours of flying, which is not exactly the best idea from an environmental point of view, which is why a trip to Australia is not something you should do all the time, but rather once in your life. If that moment comes in winter 2024, we recommend Airbnb's trending destination. The online platform has determined that requests for accommodation inJervis Bay, a bay in southeastern Australia, have skyrocketed since last year. Why is practically self-explanatory. The city is located on one of the, which meanders for kilometers in front of a light blue coast. Here you can sunbathe, swim or go snorkeling if you dare. In addition to sharks, many other exotic fish species are also at home here. It's something completely different than the same thing over and over again. Also beautiful, but different.
5. England
Not everyone wants to bridge the winter in Germany with summer in exotic climes. Many people like the harsh weather, where they can snuggle up at home after a long walk. That's why it's hardly surprising that an English region has made it onto the list of the best travel destinations for a winter holiday. Airbnb discovered thatCornwallis becoming increasingly popular in the southwest of the country not only in summer, but also in November and December. The rugged coastal backdrop, the evergreen landscapes and the uncomfortable but somehow cozy weather seem to attract many people. You can't jump into the rough sea in these temperatures unless you want to prepare for the ice bathing season. Otherwise, it's just exciting to watch the high waves and their lively activity. And then when you go back to the...Comes, you first turn on the fireplace, put the teapot on the stove and join incomfortable on the couch. Kinda vibey.
Germans in particular go to these winter travel destinations
In addition to the world's most popular winter travel destinations, Airbnb also examined which destinations are particularly popular with Germans. This list mainly includes European travel destinations such as, Catania or Porto. Apparently the Germans don't necessarily feel like planning a long-distance trip somewhere warm in the winter. In addition to Gothenburg and Stockholm, Rovaniemi, a travel destination in Lapland, also ends up on the list of places to visit in the winter. Only Japan has made it into the top ten winter travel destinations popular with Germans: in both Tokyo and Kyoto, there are now increasing requests for accommodation via Airbnb. Understandable, it's nice there too.
