Not only in Germany do the temperatures at the end of the year fall into the cellar, also otherwise it looks rather grey and cold in large parts of Europe. But where is it warm enough for a great holiday in December? Our TOP4 list shows the most popular destinations of our visitors:
The small Caribbean island of Aruba is still a real insider tip for many travellers, even the emirate of Abu Dhabi is often in the slipstream of its more famous neighbour Dubai. But both destinations are perfect for December and share their top positions with the seaside resorts of Khao Lak in Thailand and sunny Miami in Florida (USA).
Our travel editorial team has put together further great recommendations and found a great range of exciting holiday regions for December. In Europe, the Canary Islands in particular offer pleasantly mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine, with Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Fuerteventura at the top of the popularity scale. The paradisiacal islands of the Caribbean - for example Barbados, Cuba or the Dominican Republic - are also ideally suited. Also in Southeast Asia perfect conditions are waiting in many places!
