Off the beaten track: 8 winter trips that won't break the bank

Beautiful Gdansk at winter dusk.
Great-value breaks can be closer, or sometimes a little further, than you think and this week we’ve chosen eight alternative getaways to some of our favourite cities.
Whether you’re looking for winter sun or a bargain Christmas market getaway, we recommend swapping out the expensive with a new, more affordable destination.
- Fly direct from Dublin, Cork or Belfast. ryanair.com



- Aer Lingus, Ryanair, and TAP all fly from Dublin meaning competitive fares.


- Fly there from Dublin with AirBaltic or Ryanair with flights from €190. ryanair.com
