    6.<\/b> Helsinki, Finland<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

    Reindeer rides, the Northern Lights and sky saunas<\/b><\/h3>\n

    If you are craving a winter destination in the Arctic Circle, a Finnish holiday may be for you! First a bit of math: There are five million people in Finland and a purported three million saunas. Fins even have a sauna DAY where you can sauna with strangers\/your new friends at their home. So after you go to a traditional Finnish sauna in Helsinki (one is<\/span> in a Ferris wheel<\/span><\/a>, another is<\/span> in a Burger King<\/span><\/a>), you can regain your strength by sampling a few of the local delights in<\/span> old town<\/span><\/a>: Karelian pies, Arctic cloudberries, salmon every which way, and even reindeer and <\/span>bear in a can<\/span><\/i> (sorry Yogi and all other famous bears). Winter is also the best time to visit the Finnish Lapland, where you can catch the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), see frozen waterfalls and go for a snowshoeing\/dogsledding\/reindeer sleigh day trip adventure. \ud83d\udef7 \ud83e\udd8c <\/span><\/p>\n

    7.<\/b> Seville, Spain<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

    Tapas bars, vino and t-shirt weather<\/b><\/h3>\n

The temp hits 18\u00b0C\/64\u00b0F in February and just keeps on climbing from there. Seville is known for its beautiful architecture, so you should definitely get an eyeful of that (check out the Royal Alcazar of Seville, the Plaza de Espa\u00f1a and the Seville Cathedral for a start). Familiarize yourself with the city\u2019s best share plates, a.k.a. Spanish tapas like chicharrones (slow-roasted pork belly) and anything in a deep-fried croquette. Sample a few and then hit the next spot, rubbing shoulders with locals and hydrating (with Spanish vino\u2014hello, Garnacha, Rioja, Albari\u00f1o) as you go. If you are itching for a European winter on the Mediterranean, Barcelona is also high on our Spanish off-season bucket list.<\/span><\/p>\n
