Europe winter holiday ideas?
I want to take a week vacation in Europe in February - and I don't like to ski! What other holidays can I take when it is cold, winter in Europe? Are there any festivals or cool things happening that I include within my trip? I am very felxible about where to go - but Italy i know very well so not there. Any ideas are appreciated in advance! Graci!

I had booked through this local website ( www.choosemalta.com ) and found them very helpful and knowledgeable.
I would also like to suggest Malta for your holiday. I myself work in an incoming agency and we can help you with all your organisation of your holiday. Just to point out, in February, you can enjoy the colours of Malta with its Carnival Celebrations, this year taking place between 20-24th February so that's an added value to your holiday...Should you wish to contact us, please send me an e-mail to pgasan@sit.com.mt or visit our website: http://www.sit.com.mt.
It will be cold in February so wear thermal underwear and give thanks for avoiding the long summer queues! The prices will also be cheaper.
My tip is to go to www.VIRTOURIST.com and do an on-line tour of all the european capitals and then decide on the one with the cheapest/ most convenient flight. Don't try to visit too many places in too short a time , pick one and see it in depth.
Does anyone have any ideas/ suggestions as to where I can take them without being bogged down in the gloomy wet winter weather?
You go somewhere warm which means Portugal, Spain (real Europe), Morocco, Caneries, (not really europe but very on the edge)
You go somewhere with loads of cheap warm spas which means Iceland, Hungary, Czech Rep, Eastern Germany
You go somewhere snowy and shop, Austria, Germany
Thats about it in the winter, everywhere else just seems to not make it (even Italy can get miserable but Sicily can be warmish)
Skipass about 30EUR/5days
Good snow conditions in february.
About 10 big ski centers, hundreds small ones.
