Miami Beach is a great value in January.
Though many people traditionally vacation in December during the holiday season, people who wait to vacation in January are often rewarded with discounts and fewer tourists. Travelers to resort areas in January can experience shorter waits at attractions and theme parks, and fewer people on beaches and ski slopes than in December. Great vacation destinations in January range from the theme parks of Orlando to the cafes of Paris.
Orlando
Orlando is a fine destination for families and couples alike. Orlando is famous for its major theme parks, like Disney World, Universal Studios and SeaWorld, but it also has great shows, fine dining and exciting nightlife. Orlando in January is surprisingly low key. Most families travel to Orlando during winter break, so hotels and theme parks have no big crowds and you can find discounts. The best deals on hotels are in the Lake Buena Vista and Kissimmee areas, and most hotels offer complimentary shuttle service to the various theme parks and attractions.
Miami Beach
January in Miami Beach is wonderful. Typical temperatures are mid 70s, and days are sunny with little humidity. The city takes a break in January between winter vacation and February, when there are several festivals. Dine or shop on Lincoln Road, a pedestrian-only street lined with shops and restaurants. Stroll along miles of white sand beaches and enjoy a mojito at one of Miami Beach's clubs or lounges.
Paris
Visiting Paris in the springtime is so popular, there was a song written about it, which is why you should go to Paris in January. Paris in January offers a local's glimpse of the city. Fewer tourists leave room for hours of strolling the streets, lounging at a Parisian cafe or taking in the sights of Notre Dame, The Eiffel Tower and The Louvre without long lines and throngs of tourists. Hotels and flights in January have discounts of 60 percent or more from a spring vacation.
The Bahamas
The Bahamas is a country that consists of a chain of 700 islands, starting just 50 miles off the coast of Florida. The Bahamas offers the clearest waters in the world and the proximity to the United States means you'll spend less time traveling to the Bahamas than to other islands. The most popular islands are Nassau/Paradise Island and Freeport, which have most of the resorts. Many hotels offer value packages and incentives to visit in January, and some offers include bonus nights, free companion airfares and discounts on restaurants and attractions.
