Winter Wonderland in Europe

The kaleidoscope of seasonal festivals, historic milestones and natural beauty -- coupled with aggressively-priced airfare to Europe -- make Germany an attractive getaway for late fall or winter.

Cities like Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Berlin are ideal springboards to exploring the rest of Germany, which takes on an ethereal glow in winter.

Just imagine warming up with hot spiced wine while meandering a traditional Christmas market. And, of course, relishing the thought of the money saved with these red-hot winter deals.
