Discover a different side of Europe this winter, with guaranteed group pricing available on our new Edinburgh and London packages, alongside bespoke FIT itineraries for Vienna and Toulouse.
With winter just around the corner, there is still plenty of opportunity to secure business for the months ahead. Fewer crowds, a more relaxed pace and experiences that come into their own during the colder months make it an ideal time to explore Europe through culture, gastronomy, history and seasonal experiences.
Whether it’s a short city break, a longer tailor-made journey or a ready-to-sell group option, our four new winter itineraries below are designed to give you practical ideas to take straight to your clients.
GROUP OFFERS:
- EDINBURGH
If ever there was a city that suits a crisp winter’s day, it’s Edinburgh.
Dramatic architecture, cobbled streets and the imposing Edinburgh Castle create an atmospheric backdrop for a winter escape. Explore the Old and New Towns, discover Scotland’s whisky heritage, settle into a cosy pub or restaurant and venture beyond the city for dramatic landscapes, historic houses and castles.

- LONDON
London certainly doesn’t hibernate for winter. The capital comes alive with theatre, exhibitions, shopping and fabulous restaurants, with impressive festive displays adding to the atmosphere in the run-up to Christmas. Explore iconic landmarks with fewer crowds, enjoy afternoon tea somewhere suitably grand, discover London’s neighbourhoods and markets or spend an evening in the West End.

FIT Itineraries:
- TOULOUSE
A warmer side to winter. Winter doesn’t always have to mean snow.
Known as La Ville Rose thanks to its distinctive pink-brick architecture, Toulouse offers a relaxed alternative to Europe’s more traditional winter destinations. Explore colourful food markets, enjoy the rich cuisine and wines of southwest France and wander the historic centre without the heat or crowds of summer. Toulouse also offers a fantastic gateway to explore the surrounding Occitanie region.

- VIENNA
Grand, elegant and wonderfully atmospheric, Vienna seems almost designed for winter.
Spend mornings exploring imperial palaces and world-class museums before warming up over coffee and cake in one of the city’s historic coffee houses. Classical concerts, opera, traditional restaurants and magnificent architecture make this an ideal destination for a sophisticated winter break. During the festive season, Vienna’s Christmas markets add another layer of atmosphere, while the city remains just as appealing throughout the rest of winter.

WINTER moments worth travelling for:
Sometimes it’s the little experiences that make a winter trip memorable.

- Enjoying Mediterranean history and culture under Malta’s winter sunshine

Winter travel offers more than festive markets and city lights. Outside key festive dates, greater hotel availability, competitive rates and added value can make it an attractive time to travel. There is also plenty of scope to go beyond a simple city break, with countryside, coastlines and local experiences easily worked into a wider winter itinerary. ASA can arrange travel across the UK, Ireland and Europe, with an extensive and continually growing portfolio that gives you more destinations and experiences to offer your clients this winter.
