Whether you're planning a family break in the sun, a trip on the biggest cruise ship in the world or you're looking ahead to a winter wonderland, we have tips, news and advice to help.

Christmas shopping
As much as we love running around Dublin to do our Christmas shopping, we definitely wouldn't mind swapping O'Connell Street for 5th Avenue this December.

You can tick each pressie off your list as you take in the extra festive lights of Times Square, try your hand at ice-skating at Rockefeller Center and treat yourself to a hot chocolate in Central Park.
 
Christmas Markets
Is there anything more festive than a Christmas market? Listen to carols while you stroll between stalls of decorations, roasted chestnuts and mulled wine in Budapest, Prague or Krakow.

Not only will you get a chance to kick-start your festive season but also a chance to explore some of Europe’s most cultural hotspots.
