It depends if you want warm places to visit in January or if you prefer the cold. For sun-seekers, head to southeast Asia – the weather's top-notch and it’s one the driest months in the region. For the cool-cationers, head to Central Europe to cozy up with a touch of class.

It's a fantastic time to travel because of January travel deals. Here's an industry secret (promise you won't spill the beans): the cheapest time to book a flight is on any Sunday in January. Cool, right? This is because airlines often run deals in January to amazing travel destinations. We do, too, with our Big Tour Sale. Make sure to check it out every year in January.

We recommend Asia as one of the best places to visit in January if you want some winter sun. Also high on list is Australia, New Zealand, and South America. Anywhere on the Southern Hemisphere is a great bet.
