February is a great time to travel, especially if you want to attend some of the year’s most exciting events. Winter sports enthusiasts should set their sights on northern Italy, where the 2026 Winter Olympics will take place throughout the month in venues in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. And Carnival and Mardi Gras festivities will wrap up Feb. 17 in various places around the world.
