3. Los Angeles, USA
The home of Hollywood is a surprise in January. It’s not warm but mild, with temperatures ranging from around 8°C to 20°C. An ideal time to take on a walking tour of the city, spy celebrities arriving at the Golden Globes in early Jan, or do what LA natives do best: hike!
4. Slovenia
Slovenia doesn’t immediately come to mind as a winter getaway. It’s not sunny, and you can’t see the Northern Lights, but you can experience a different side to a country that is traditionally explored in summer. If Slovenia doesn’t float your boat, the Balkan region and its neighbours often surprise as affordable ski destinations. Sarajevo in Bosnia & Herzegovina, as well as Kopaonik in Serbia both offer various winter sports trips.
