Spending the night at Sweden’s legendary Icehotel

Spending the night at Sweden’s legendary Icehotel ❄️✨

Sweden’s Icehotel isn’t just the oldest, it’s also one of our most unforgettable stays!

Every room is uniquely designed by artists from around the world and carved entirely from snow and ice ☃️

Actually sleeping in an ice room was a one of a kind experience! Those Arctic sleeping bags feel surprisingly snug and not in a cozy way 😅

Would I personally book another night? Probably not

Would I tell you to try it at least once? 1000% yes!!!

PRO TIPS:
🔋 No outlets in the ice rooms—bring a portable charger or leave your phone charging in the warm storage building.
🚿 Take a warm shower an hour or two before bed to help your body adjust
🧤 Wear only the essentials inside the sleeping bag: thermals + wool socks are your best combo

SAVE this for your Lapland trip and FOLLOW for more bucket-list-worthy stays! ✨

If you’re visiting Lapland in the winter, the Helsinki Christmas Markets are such an easy and festive stop ☃️🇫🇮

It’s a great way to ease into the holiday atmosphere before heading north ❄️

What to expect:
• Free entry + super walkable
• Handmade Finnish gifts, ornaments & treats
• Only need about 30–60 minutes
• Dress warm, coastal wind is icy

Helsinki in December? So worth it!

👉 Save this for your Finland itinerary and follow for more Europe-in-winter guides!

Idstein, Germany might be one of the most underrated fairytale towns near Frankfurt 🇩🇪🤫

If you’re planning a trip to Frankfurt or exploring Germany Christmas markets, definitely add Idstein to your list ✅

Visiting the Tallinn Christmas Markets was truly magical!!! 🇪🇪

This was our second trip to Tallinn, but our first time experiencing the Tallinn Christmas Market, and I didn’t think I could love this city more… until now 🥹

We’ve been traveling to Europe’s Christmas markets since 2017, and the Tallinn Christmas Markets quickly became some of our absolute favorites 🎄

They’re honestly one of the most underrated Christmas markets in Europe 🤫

The best part? Tallinn is far less crowded than many of the popular Christmas destinations around Europe, which means more room to explore, shop local stalls, and take in the charm of the Old Town without feeling rushed ✨

If you’re planning a Europe Christmas market trip, definitely add the Tallinn Christmas Market to your itinerary 🎅🏻

WELCOME TO THE LUXEMBOURG CHRISTMAS MARKET 🎄✨

We fell in love with Luxembourg City and its beautiful Christmas markets!
It’s one of the most underrated Christmas market destinations in Europe — and the perfect addition to any winter trip.

The best part? Luxembourg borders Germany, Belgium, and France, which makes it an easy stop on any European Christmas market road trip. The city is super walkable and features over 100 festive chalets, sparkling lights, and cozy spots around every corner. Trust me… you don’t want to skip this one!

Planning your own Christmas market itinerary? Add Luxembourg City Christmas markets to your list. 🎄✨

If Elsa from Frozen ever escaped to a winter hidea

If Elsa from Frozen ever escaped to a winter hideaway, I’m convinced it would look just like these magical glass igloos ❄️📍 @leviniglut

This place is one of Finland’s most iconic (and most viral!) stays and honestly, it earns every bit of the attention

Are they pricey? Yep. Are they worth it? Absolutely!!!

There’s nothing like getting in a warm bed and watching the Northern Lights above you through a ceiling made of glass 🥹

Levin Iglut is one of those bucket-list experiences you have to check out!!

If Lapland is on your travel list, consider this your sign to add these igloos to your must-stay list

SAVE this post for when you start planning your own winter adventure. ✨🏔️
