Where's 'Hot' This February

Venice, Italy – A Romantic Escape

As the month of Saint Valentine, its only right we start off with a romantic holiday for the love birds. In February, look no further than Venice. The iconic canals, charming architecture, and rich history make this a dream destination for couples. February is especially magical because it’s the time of the Venice Carnival, a world-renowned event where the city comes alive with vibrant costumes, masks, and celebrations. Take a gondola ride through the canals, visit the stunning St. Mark’s Basilica, and explore the unique neighbourhoods. If you're into art and culture, the Doge’s Palace and Rialto Bridge are must-see landmarks.

The Canary Islands – A Year-Round Paradise

If you're looking for a warm holiday destination in February, the Canary Islands are a fantastic choice. Located off the northwest coast of Africa, these islands enjoy warm spring-like weather year-round, making them perfect for escaping the winter chill on the UK. Whether you want to relax on the stunning beaches of Tenerife or Gran Canaria, hike through the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote, or explore the lush forests of La Palma. But we suggest visiting the famous Carnaval de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, one of the largest and most vibrant carnivals in the world, which takes place in February and is a highlight of the island’s cultural calendar.

New Orleans, USA – A Feel-Good Festive City Break

February is a fantastic time to visit New Orleans, particularly if you're looking to experience the iconic Mardi Gras festivities. The city is known for its lively music scene, Creole cuisine, and vibrant culture, but during Mardi Gras, it turns into a huge celebration with parades, street parties, and masked balls. Whether you're attending a parade or simply exploring the historic French Quarter, New Orleans is full of life. Be sure to try the famous beignets, explore the Garden District, and enjoy live jazz music at one of the city’s legendary bars on Bourbon Street.
