If you think Canada turns to the land of nod in winter, you’re definitely wrong. When most territory of the country is covered with pristine white snow and it’s pretty cold outside, Canadians don’t sit in warm inns and drink hot wine, but enjoy outdoor activities! Winter is a favorite time for many people in Canada as it brings biggest, most popular and truly unforgettable festivals. Festivals in Canada are a place where party never ends, even at night you can feel the atmosphere of holiday, joy and delight. Illumination, sparkling lights and colorful garlands light dark Canadian evenings and various fun activities and warm cider will help not to get chill in cold weather. Making festival outdoors is an old tradition in Canada. This country is usually a snowy one in winter, snow level frequently reaches waist, but no one even has a thought this can be a problem. You shouldn’t be scared of this too - just put in your warm scarf and let a party begin! (more…)

Christmas is getting closer and we start thinking about presents for our friends and family members. Surely, you can wait until December, go to overcrowded shopping malls and get the last pair of socks, gloves or try to find something nice in heaps of unattractive sweaters. If this prospect doesn’t sound good for you, October and November are best months for Christmas shopping. In case you are planning your trip to Europe, this is just a perfect opportunity to buy truly amazing presents.

Europe is called a shopping mecca and it absolutely proves this name. Fashion people know they can get the hottest stuff not only in New York, but also in world’s trend-setting fashion capitals like Paris and Milan. Any conservative person surely knows and values Scandinavian and German designs. In true, you can find presents for all your friends, family, colleagues or boss including the most hard-to-please ones in Europe. Another reason we advise visiting Europe in October and November is you can feel the atmosphere of real holiday. There’s no need to stay in Europe until Christmas as bright, joyful and festive markets are opened months beforehand. You can buy multiple souvenirs, sweets, freshly baked bread and holiday gingerbread or just wander around enjoying colorful sights, lively sounds and hot spiced wine. (more…)
