January – not perfect but just the right time to visit Australia




Unlike most of the countries of the world, Australia enjoys the peak of winter during July & August. Because of its location in Southern Hemisphere, when rest of the world is shivering with cold, Australia is taking a sun bath of summer. Aussie winter is, however, perhaps the most apt time to visit this scenic location because in summer, the temperature does rise up to an unbearable extent and along with the rain, the weather turns hot and humid.
January is a time when the summer is gone for good and the winter is setting in slowly. This is the time when one can not only enjoy the beaches or bask in the mild and melancholy sun, one will also be able to enjoy the slight chill in the air in the evening and during night outs. January is a time when most of Australia takes up a very vibrant outlook and presents a comfortable weather to shop, to sightsee and to party. 
Celebrations take a whole new meaning with the New Year’s party which continues throughout the first week of January. During the New Year’s celebration, the whole sky is filled with light from the fireworks and there is the air of celebrations all around. Also, it is during January that the Aussies celebrate the Australia Day. On January 26th, 1788 the First Fleet of 11 ships arrived from England to set up a colony in Australia and now this day is celebrated as the day when the foundation stone for this whole nation was laid.
January might be apt time to visit, but then again, it’s not the perfect. This adds to the cheap flight tickets and easy availability of hotels that one gets to enjoy as compared to the peak holiday season. All in all, January is just the right time to visit Australia whether it is shopping point of view or weather point of view or availability point of view.

Your Search for Warm Fireplaces in Europe Ends Here





Europe is the hotbed of fun during the Christmas holidays. Once that party-swing is over, then most of the people find it a little dull. The month of January is one such month, when people switch on the central heating plants or wrap them in blankets. It is a wrong notion that you cannot unleash yourself in the month of January as well. Here we are listing down some happening fireplaces of Europe that are all set to welcome you this January. 

Ignite the Twilight Romance in the Coffee Shops of Amsterdam 

Compare the rates of the packages in Amsterdam; it reaches the peak during the last few weeks of December, and touches a rocking ‘low’ during the second week of January. It is only a matter of seven days; every other thing is just the same in this city. Hiring a bike for “An Amsterdam Safari” is an expensive affair during the last three weeks of the year. However, the same bikes, on the less-crowded roads that come on an economic price, says it all about the details of this cost-effective and adventurous deal, and give you some reasons to visit Amsterdam in the off season.  

Increase the Calorie Count while the Cost of Traveling in Zurich Is Decreasing 



Mouth-watering Swiss chocolate; it is an icing to beat the winter of Zurich. The second week of January witnesses a kind of prologue to the fairy tale, which the last weeks of December had witnessed. Zurich holiday in the peak season is like “a luxury of the Richie rich”. You can enjoy the same sparkling lights of Christmas and feel the vibrating pulse of this warm city on a much affordable package during second and third weeks of January. So, go grab a package before it is too late. The number of wise tourists is increasing during this time with each passing day.

Off-season tourism is the buzzword these days, as more and more professions are beating the woes of seasonality. Last three weeks of January are the ideal “end of season sale” months for many industries, and tourism industry of these two cities is not an exception to this rule.
