Break up the winter months with a February holiday, although you’ll need to plan carefully to avoid the price hikes that usually come during the school half-term break.
Skiers can usually expect abundant snow at this time of year, and some of the quieter resorts in Italy might be a better bet than the Alpine hotspots. Winter in Vienna is magical, with plenty of culture to go with cakes and coffeehouses.
Sunseekers can explore the tropical islands of the Cape Verde archipelago, or go long haul with a beach holiday in Sri Lanka. If you’re into bracing seaside rambles, explore the Sussex coast on a walking holiday. If you’re looking for a fun and reasonably affordable February half-term holiday, book a huge house in the Welsh countryside with other friends or family.
Wherever you decide to holiday in February, here are some suggestions for the best breaks to book.
