The festive season leaves room for very different kinds of trips: a city break built around Christmas dinner, a week in the mountains or a longer journey shaped by local traditions. This selection brings together Lisbon with Bomporto Hotels, Chiang Mai with 137 Pillars House, Miami with EAST, Corvara with Hotel Sassongher and Greece with Myths + Muses. For travel advisors, it offers a starting point for matching Christmas and New Year’s plans to the people traveling, with distinct settings, seasonal food and experiences that give each destination its own rhythm.
