Christmas Markets

From Berlin to Riga, Prague to Vienna: all across Europe, Christmas-lovers can visit these cities for a chance to experience the magic of these famous Christmas markets.

There’s nothing quite like a chilly evening spent strolling through a traditional Christmas market during the festive season. Indulge in all things Christmas as you shop, stroll and sip on spiced mulled wine against the backdrop of a quaint town square, Baroque palace or enchanting castle.

Get your Christmas shopping off to a fun and festive start with our selection of Christmas market breaks. Revel in Germany’s seasonal gemütlichkeit (good cheer), or take in the romantic surroundings of Vienna Christmas Market. Take a stroll through the festively lit lanes between chalet-like market stalls, and discover the charming, unique atmosphere of a Christmas market break.

Whether you'd like to spend your time at a European Christmas market admiring the fine handmade crafts on offer and shopping for unusual gifts, sipping a cup of glühwein as you gaze at glittering Christmas lights, or even ice skating in the middle of a town square, our Christmas market holidays are a wonderful way to welcome in the festive season.

From the Berlin Christmas Market to the wooden stalls on Riga's Town Hall Square, join us to immerse yourself in a truly festive experience away from home. Visit some of the largest and oldest Christmas markets and explore elegant historic cities, or watch local craftsmen – from bakers to glassblowers and wood carvers – work their magic in the Christmas markets of smaller villages.

Wherever takes your fancy this festive season, you’re sure to find something to match in our range of Christmas markets holidays.

Shot of Vienna's gothic city hall which has one tall clock tower and four smaller towers, two on each side, all with pointy turrets. The building is a gold colour and is in front of a bright blue night sky. In front, is a Christmas Market, showing strips of cabin-like stalls and a variety of lit up Christmas decorations, one in the forefront reading 'Merry Christmas' in Austrian. People can be seen, although blurry as they are moving around.
