This historic city is lined with colorful wooden houses and undeniable charm. And the local cuisine of fish, fish, and more fish will delight fish lovers.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon finding the port, a boat tour of the fjord is a must. The winter is an amazing time to do this as the boat drifts on the magically still and enchanting water. The sound you hear could just be the wind howling, or it could be an old norse god, screaming from across the lake. Take in the glittering mountains and breathe in fresh sea air. On windy days, bring an extra layer. Or two.

Both offer a convenient funicular to the top so you don\u2019t have to suffer through the cold too much. But if you\u2019ve packed for the weather, experience the mountain firsthand with ski and snowshoe trails. These trails will bring you closer to mother nature and immerse you in the beauty of Norway. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"marker-heading seeker-place seeker-place-heading\" data-latitude=\"55.755825\" data-longitude=\"37.617298\" data-placeurl=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/app\/place\/UeRENvK3Y\/moscow-russian-federation\" data-placeid=\"1633\" class=\"wp-block-seeker-place-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/app\/place\/UeRENvK3Y\/moscow-russian-federation\">Moscow, Russia<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-latitude=\"55.755825\" data-longitude=\"37.617298\" src=\"https:\/\/d39ghehfp8sbx4.cloudfront.net\/media\/img\/1\/0a1b7c28-fced-429b-a140-f8fd75b6bd56-1400.jpg?placeid=1633&amp;name=Moscow&amp;lat=55.755825&amp;lng=37.617298\" alt=\"Ice skating rink, Moscow, Russia.

Hearty natives bustling about their days will remind you that any cold you are experiencing is just a part of everyday life in this northern capital. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As anyone who visits Moscow in the winter will tell you: ice skating is an essential. Almost every park is converted into an ice rink and decked out with bright lights and decorations. On all but the most bitter cold days, these parks are full of locals who choose to ignore the cold in favor of fun. It\u2019s easy to forget your numb fingers when you\u2019re skating around surrounded by the awe-inspiring architecture of Red Square. But, the spell might be broken when you fall on your butt and somehow manage to lose your gloves, your hat, and your dignity. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve taken a few graceful spills on the ice rink, it&#8217;s time for sledding. While you can find sweet spots all over the city, head Novodevichy Convent is an all-time fave. This fairytale-like nunnery provides an excellent view for you to look at right before your sled hits the snow.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the best winter vacations in Moscow also offer a mix of fun indoor and outdoor activities: museums, landmarks, a menorah lighting for <a href=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/hanukkah-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Hanukkah 2020 (opens in a new tab)\">Hanukkah 2020<\/a>!

Not only do you get to play with adorable pups, but you also get to go on a fast-paced adventure through epic scenery. Burst through snow covered forests and take in the silhouette of the nearby mountains as the dogs expertly guide you through their home.

You can do it as an act of rejuvenation, or just to remind your body of what cold really feels like. &nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some slightly warmer activities, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and downhill skiing trails are abundant.
