1. Bamberg, Germany
For an off-the-beaten path German winter getaway that combines a UNESCO-listed medieval old town, traditional smoked beer, and sprawling Christmas markets, consider Bamberg in northern Bavaria (Upper Franconia).

The 14th century Town Hall (Altes Rathaus) is located on an island in the Regnitz River. Cross the bridge past the Town Hall to feel like you've walked into a medieval fairy tale filled with half-timbered homes, the dramatic 11th century Romanesque Bamberg Cathedral, and numerous palaces, courtyards and alleys.
During advent (November to December), a traditional Franconian Christmas market takes over Maximiliansplatz and the streets nearby. After wandering through this Christmas wonderland, pop into a traditional brewery restaurant to warm up with a couple pints of smoked beer (Rauchbier), a famous local speciality.

2. Timisoara, Romania
Located in a region that enjoys the mildest winter in the country, the compact city of Timisoara offers a picture-perfect old town, a restaurant-lined river that meanders through a beautiful central park, excellent dining and nightlife options, a thriving cafe scene and laid back residents that welcome the handful of visitors that arrive.
During winter, the city has a lively Christmas market sprawling across the main squares and, after a light snowfall, it's difficult not to feel entranced by the atmosphere as you sip on your hot spiced tuica (local spirit made from plums).
It's also extremely affordable, with great cosy guesthouses for a fraction of what you'd pay in Western Europe and an airport that offers direct flights to cities such as Munich and London with low cost airlines.

3. Bergen, Norway
In winter, a blanket of snow unfurls across Bergen giving this city a Disney-esque veneer. Its cobbled streets of pine trees and fairy lights are most magical at Bryggen with its row of cosy and colourful cafes, craft shops and galleries.

The Festival of Lights sees thousands of Bergeners gather with flaming torches around Lille Lungegårdsvannet lake to watch the lighting of the Christmas tree, replete with carols and dazzling fireworks in the inky winter sky.
The nearby Fløibanen funicular whisks visitors to the top of Mount Fløyen for twinkling city views, while the descending paths are floodlit in the evenings and perfect for sledding. When there's enough snow, you can slide straight to the city centre.

4. Sofia, Bulgaria
Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, is a great winter getaway. You can visit the markets and museums by day and its jazz clubs by night. You can even get up to Vitosha Mountain to snowshoe or ski and be back in the same day.
Every year, the Ariana Lake in the Borisova Garden becomes the biggest open air ice rink in the Balkans. Browse traditional handicrafts at the Christmas Market and follow it up with a sip of rakia, a traditional grape brandy.
Sofia has many free tours of the city, including a ‘Balkan Bites’ culinary tour and the Communist Trabant tour (that ironically meets at the Starbucks), which are both free.

Don’t forget to visit Sofia’s most iconic landmarks: the National Palace of Culture, the Statue of Saint Sofia, Independence Square, and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
