6. Ottawa, Canada
Canada’s capital is a smaller city within the nation that has a ton of heart. With great restaurants, incredible shopping located in the downtown core, a visit to Ottawa is a must for those who have ever wanted to see the Great White North. Alas, the best time to head there during the winter season is in February, when the city hosts the largest winter festival in the world, Winterlude. Spotlighting ice sculptures, toboggan courses, and outdoor concerts, it’s the perfect way for anyone to celebrate the coldest season of the year.
You also don’t want to forget your ice skates, during January and February, visitors are encouraged to hit the largest natural skating rink across the globe, Ottawa’s Rideau Canal.
