The US city of New York is the best destination to visit during the holiday period, according to Lonely Planet.
In its monthly round-up, the guidebook publisher said New York was its city of the month for December, adding that the scarf-wearing weather and the amazing shops, which locals take advantage of in mid-town, make the destination a great place to visit during the holiday period and beyond.
Other cities which were recommended during the winter include Cologne in Germany and Darwin, Australia, where it is possible to enjoy a tropical Christmas.
During November 2009, Anna Catchpole, PR manager for NYC & Company, New York's official marketing, tourism and partnership organisation, said the winter period was a "magical time" to visit the city.
She added that it is currently is a good time to visit because "hotel rates are lower than they have been and new hotels are opening all over the city".
