Where to go in February
50 places that are at their best — or close to it — in February, grouped by the kind of trip. Every card shows the average high and low, how many days usually see rain, and what a budget day costs there.
In the tropics a “rain day” in these figures is often a short afternoon shower rather than a wet day, so we also lean on each place’s known best season.

What is the cheapest warm place to go in February?
On our budget-day figures (bed, food, sights and local transport), the cheapest warm, mostly dry places in February are Varanasi (about €16 a day), Jaipur (about €18 a day), Kochi (about €23 a day), Luang Prabang (about €24 a day). Flights are not included, so check fares from your home airport.
Where is it dry in February?

How did you choose these places?
Each destination has three years (2021–2023) of daily weather for one point where visitors stay, from Open-Meteo's ERA5 archive. We combine February's average high, low and rain days with our own best-months rating and the daily budget from our cost tables. Weather varies year to year, so treat these as typical, not guaranteed.
