Five affordable destinations in February
Contrary to popular belief, February is a good time to take advantage of certain advantageous offers for destinations located above the equator. It is during this time of year that you can best enjoy the northern lights in Finland, Norway, and Iceland. Further south, in Cairo, you can appreciate the exhilarating and gentle energy provided by the sun. To the west, the Caribbean welcomes tourists with its enchanting beaches. Unlike its neighbors, Jamaica is particularly inexpensive during this time of year. Our rental vehicles are available for each of these destinations.
Tromsø, Norway
Connoisseurs know that the higher the latitude you are at, the more you increase your chances of seeing the multicolored northern lights. You might think that tourists come in droves only to witness this phenomenon that occurs between November and February, but it is another natural event that remains the main attraction: the polar night, which occurs when the night extends for more than 24 hours. The sun is then below the horizon line, leaving twilight to illuminate the day with its light that mixes various shades of blue and gray. It’s hard not to pack your bags after watching some fascinating videos of these natural manifestations.
