The New Year holidays will end, but winter will continue. For those who don't like to sit still and want to have fun on their winter weekends, we have prepared a selection of countries worth visiting in January.
Serbia
This is a great time to enjoy sightseeing in Belgrade and sample the local cuisine. Cvarci (fried pork fat), pleskavica (burgers), and much more are ideal for tasting in winter. Serbia also has ski resorts that are suitable for active tourists, such as Divčibare. It is located 163 kilometers from Belgrade.
Czech Republic
In January, there are usually fewer tourists here, which means you can take a leisurely stroll through the mystical streets of Prague and visit museums. And, of course, it's a great opportunity to try different varieties of Czech beer paired with national cuisine. Pork knuckle, steak tartare, goulash in bread, and more will brighten up your winter evening.
Netherlands
It's great that the winter here is mild. This undoubtedly allows you to enjoy long walks through the interesting streets of Amsterdam.
Visit the Van Gogh Museum and admire his works of art, or go skating at one of the most beautiful ice rinks in Europe. You'll find it right next to the art museum. But keep in mind that it's easy to find entertainment in the city, whatever the weather.
Mexico
January is a great time to visit this mystical country. It won't be too hot, and you won't encounter as many tourists as you would in the summer.
The most popular destinations are Acapulco and Cancun. In addition to beaches, you can visit pyramids, amusement parks, and much more. Be sure to try the local cuisine: tacos, nachos, salsa, and more. Also, don't miss the opportunity to try the local tequila.
Thailand
If you are cold and tired, you can enjoy a wonderful beach vacation with a pleasant climate here. Phuket is one of the most popular destinations in January. The weather there is warm, and it rarely rains.
Almost all beaches in Thailand are free; you only have to pay for sun loungers. And if you get tired of lazing around, go on excursions to explore ancient temples and palaces.
Cuba
Although it is warm here in January, it is still worth bringing something warm with you. At night, the temperature can drop to +14, even if it was +30 during the day. But this will not spoil your vacation. In addition to relaxing on the beach, be sure to go on excursions. You can also take master classes in underwater photography or go diving. Visit Ernest Hemingway's house. Not only that, but many other wonderful things await you in Cuba.
