In the 15th century, the Chapultepec Forest in Mexico City was laid out by aqueducts that carried water from the streams to the baths and temazcales (a steam bath). At that time, it was the greenest area in the basin.

It’s so dark, it makes no difference whether my eyes are closed or open. The only sound is breathing and a faint ripple when I weightlessly shift position in the salt-laden, skin-warm fluid. Inside an egg-shaped pod at Float in the Forest, one of my personal nightmares (being left alone for an hour with my own thoughts and no distractions) turns out to be a strange, peaceful experience, where time is condensed and space expands. Initially sceptical, my husband, Luke, also emerges from his pod and declares the experience “profoundly relaxing as few things are” (£60, book ahead).

There is something about tucking into a well-crafted latte in a cozy cafe that is unmatched in the dopamine department—and Downtown Dartmouth has a handful of excellent spots well-worth taking the ferry over to check out.

What better way to immerse yourself in the nature of Alaska than to shake off the cabin fever from your cruise ship and set your legs in motion.

Salzburg’s Christmas markets are among the very best, and there are plenty of them too, with at least 10 main ones across the season. The Salzburg Advent festival (1-17 Dec) at the Great Festival Hall, Residenzplatz, is a memorable show and highly recommended.

And best of all is a horse-drawn carriage ride through the snowy landscape, wrapped in a blanket, with a hot drink in hand. Especially perfect for a couples getaway.Colin Snoad
