#festivaljoy #100waysoftravel Last Christmas, I had the pleasure of experiencing the magical ILLUMINARIUM at the Swiss National Museum in Zurich. As the sun set at 5:00 PM, the museum’s courtyard transformed into a winter wonderland of lights, enchanting music, and festive cheer, creating an atmosphere of pure joy and celebration. The moment I stepped into the courtyard, I was greeted by an awe-inspiring sea of lights that draped the architecture in vibrant hues. The light installations were not just visually stunning; they were crafted to tell stories and evoke the festive spirit, accompanied by the soft melodies of mythical creatures that seemed to wander through the crowd. It felt as though every light and note had been designed to transport us into a fairy tale. The aroma of mulled wine and glowing cotton candy filled the air, mingling with the sounds of laughter and conversation. The festival catered wonderfully to all senses, with culinary delights available throughout the evening. I indulged in some winter snacks and later, warmed up with a delicious fondue dinner that I had booked online, which proved to be a cozy and delightful experience. The ILLUMINARIUM was more than just a light show; it was a communal gathering that brought together residents and tourists, all ending their day with a touch of magic. It was fascinating to see how the historical setting of the National Museum could transform into such a vibrant hub of contemporary festivity. This event was a highlight of my holiday season, offering not just a spectacular light display but a space to make lasting memories with friends and family. The Christmas Festival of Lights at Zurich’s ILLUMINARIUM truly captured the essence of the season, combining tradition with innovative celebration, and I look forward to what the next season will bring. #ZurichILLUMINARIUM #ChristmasLights #FestiveSeason2023 #SwissChristmas #MagicalEvenings #CulinaryDelights #WinterWonderland #FestivalJoy #ZurichDiaries

#weekendgetaways During the festive season, Gardens by the Bay in Singapore transforms into a dazzling Christmas Wonderland, creating a magical experience that captivates visitors of all ages. As night falls, this iconic attraction lights up with thousands of shimmering lights, making it a must-visit destination for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the spirit of Christmas. Spectacular Light Displays The highlight of the Christmas season at Gardens by the Bay is the stunning array of light installations and decorations that span the entire garden. From the towering Supertree Grove, which twinkles with an orchestration of lights and colors, to themed light gardens and illuminated pathways, the entire area becomes a wonderland of visual delight. The carefully designed light displays are not only beautiful but are often interactive, inviting visitors to walk through tunnels of lights and around sparkling structures. Festive Attractions and Activities Apart from the breathtaking light displays, Christmas at Gardens by the Bay features a variety of festive attractions. Seasonal markets offer a range of holiday gifts and treats, perfect for Christmas shopping.

The Tokyo Tower, is a communications and observation tower in the Shiba-koen district of Minato, Tokyo, Japan, built in 1958. It is the second-tallest structure in Japan. It's about 332.9 meters. Going to Tokyo Tower is one of the things I always do when I'm in Tokyo. It is best to go there in the evening to see the lights. The place can be quite romantic too. There are few food stalls around the area. My favorite is the crepe. #tokyotrip #christmastrip #christmaslights #tokyo #tokyotoweratnight

My most recent trip was to Florence, Italy in December with my partner. Italy as always is super romantic and even more amazing at Christmas with the light festival throughout the city making every street a performance of lights. Our favourite sights were the Santa de Croca and the famous ponte vechio bridge! The architecture is incredible, every street you turn theres an amazingly designed building and you can see the cathedral from practically everywhere! Our hotel was right near the cathedral so made it super easy to find our way home, however the city has such good character you get to learn it so fast! Would definitely reccomend! And the rain pours down heavy but it brought so much reflection with the lights, it was just perfect! #Christmaslights #florence #italy #romanticcity

Although travelling in the winter can be troublesome - you need to pack thicker clothes which makes your luggage heavier and the day is much shorter, you get Christmas lights, Christmas markets and festive events that you don’t have in the summer. If you walk by Gran Via, Retiro and most robust areas in Madrid, you instantly feel the joy and excitement of the winter season with the festive songs that being played in shops and the decorations in the street and department stores. The winter in Madrid isn’t horribly cold (around 10 degree on average) - you get to feel the change of season but still manage to do most outdoor activities without feeling frozen. #madrid #christmaslights #christmasmarket

Yu Gardens are ideal to visit if you want some instagram worthy photos. The old streets beside the garden are free to walk around, filled with lights and Chinese culture. I would recommend visiting at night when the area looks like it comes to life. Walking through Yu Gardens remember to look inside the stores, at certain times of year you can buy local gifts that tie in with events upcoming. I’ve visited in the summer and near CNY so I’ve seen how the stores change their products. Some food stalls are also located inside the Yu area, try some local delicacies while you’re here. #christmaslights #decembertravel #scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #urbanexplorer

Christmas is always the busiest festive season in Singapore, regardless rain or shine. Other than Orchard Road beautiful lighting decor, you could find many places are well decorated as well, especially at Garden by the Bay. We were having staycation during last year Christmas at Parkroyal Collection Marina Bay. In the evening, we went to Garden by the Bay. Since it is located within walking distance, we have a strolled there after having dinner in the hotel. During normal days, access to outdoor area is FOC. But only during Christmas, you will need to purchase entry ticket to access to The Wonderland. The lightings are beautiful and I like the Xmas songs. As usual, all the “photo spot” having long queue, so you got to be patient. Else just stand beside, take one and then photoshop yourself into the picture. #moreinsg #christmaslights #gardenbythebay #wonderland

Visiting Harbin in Winter is a must if you are in China. This city is located in the North of the country and host one of the biggest ice festival in the world. the ice sculptures are huge and well designed with details that will blow your mind.

Off the beaten path lies a little town called Vrboska on the Island of Hvar. and off that beaten path lies a small settlement called Basina. It is quite a small place with a hand full of apartments to rent. but the selling point for this gorgeous cove is the beach and the water. There is almost no human activity throughout the year so this place is mostly untouched. During the summer season you can drive up here on the dirt roads away from all the noise of the tourist traps. The sea is quite. I’ve and during the summer the water is a good temperature. not to cold. and the beach is amazing. it’s a nice rocky beach, so no need to worry about sand getting everywhere and was water is crystal clear. If you are looking for a nature resort this is the closest you can find on the island. There are some glamping options close by. I would highly recommend this place. 🙂 #christmaslights #christmasgiveaway

Another perfect perfect place to chill out. If your partner is not in the mood please bring her here. 🙂 I would highly recommend the food that is shown on the picture. Their chips taste like potato corner with more powder. A walking distance from my office, this cafe is a blessing during this typhoon aftermath. We found bliss here after our long and tired day. Cold drinks available from opening to closing time. Foods are great! And thankfully, I have found a place that offers kaya toast! I’ve been craving for this since our trip to HKG. The food specially cakes are not really good. Nice interior design (instagrammable). If it's your first time here, would recommend getting the Snow Latte and Croffle! Delicious and a great deal of serving for garlic shrimp meal and pasta. The macarons were good and perhaps worth the price of 50php but there were holes inside, not the best tho. Theur strawberry kitkat latte is not too sweet, based on my own sweet tolerance. 😂 Their space ambiance is good and cozy. They have common CR for both genders. #urbanexplorer #christmasgiveaway #christmaslights #foodie

How to get there: better use subway (Disney Resort), cause it's difficult to park near the entrance 🥲 Attraction: there are lots of rides and other shows, so u better take a map with schedule of each show Food: u better go out to Disney Town, they have a lot of nice restaurants there #disney #shanghai #shanghaidisney #christmaslights #china

Getting There - take a flight, at the airport there will be a shuttle bus to take you to your hotel Attractions - you can ski there, or enjoy amazing hot springs Hotels - there are lots of hotels in the area, and they're all close to each other Food & Restaurants - a lot of restaurants, but most of them are Chinese food or bbq, also have fast food places Shopping - there are lots of small convenient stores, or stores with winter clothes #christmaslights #skiing #skiresorts #skiresortschina

Teamlab Borderless in Shanghai is out of this world. As you walk into the unbounded world of light you can experience the visual impact of the amazing lights and shadows. It is a huge place and the screens too. It allows you to feel and engage in the scenes. Since it has a lot colorful lights it also makes you confuse finding the exit and the next room to view. Well, we even lost our track but that was fine. One of my favorites is where the white lights turn into pink and blue and then all of a sudden flash of lights. It was incredible. Once you are inside, it has a different feeling. It costs 498rmb for two. It is definitely worth to visit. #christmasgiveaway #tripinspired #tripmoments #christmaslights #urbanexplorer #shanghai #lights #coupletrip #chinatravel #china #chinalife #chinatrips

Shanghai, China is the country's biggest city and a global financial hub. Its heart is the Bund, a famed waterfront promenade lined with colonial-era buildings. Across the Huangpu River rises the Pudong district’s futuristic skyline. The area along the river faces the modern skyscrapers. The Bund has been one of the most recognizable symbols and the pride of Shanghai. The architecture along the Bund is a living museum of the colonial history of the 1800s. You've never been to Shanghai if you haven't seen the Bund. The best way to appreciate the buildings is to have a walk along the Bund. Roaming among the architectural complexes, you'll have a better understanding of the century-long charm of this city. #christmasgiveaway #tripinspired #tripmoments #shanghai #architecture #urbanexplorer #citylights #china #christmaslights #christmasgiveaway#christmaslights
