Summer or winter travel: which season offers the better experience? · wionews.com

When families plan vacations, they often think about going in the summer.

Summer is the most popular time for travel because the weather is warm and there is lots of daylight.

But because so many people travel then, plane tickets and hotel rooms cost much more.

In fact, prices can go up by 40 percent.

Travelling in winter can save a lot of money.

For people from India, a winter trip can save up to Rs 25,000 on long flights.

Winter travel is also quieter, with fewer crowds at museums and famous landmarks.

You can even do winter activities like skiing.

The best season to travel also depends on the place.

While Europe is sunny in summer, places like Thailand and Vietnam have heavy rain then, so winter is better for them.

So travellers should check the weather and prices before choosing their trip.
