There’s nothing quite like a Christmas market.
to offer a much-needed dose of holiday season splendour. Is there anywhere else where it’s acceptable to saunter about with a hearty mug of mulled wine in one hand, an even larger potato pancake in the other, while blowing your budget on handcrafted ornaments and posing for photos in front of an artisanal Santa sleigh? The answer, we can confidently say, is no.
If you’re especially lucky, you might even find yourself exploring a charming European Christmas market this winter – a bucket list item for travellers with a proclivity for unfettered cheer. A natural place to start when curating an itinerary is Germany, and for good reason: it is, after all, the birthplace of the Christmas market, with Dresden’s Striezelmarkt first springing up all the way back in 1434.
But don’t be fooled into thinking it’s the only country that excels at this holiday happening. There are plenty of other destinations scattered across the continent – some familiar, and some firmly off the radar – that deliver the festive goods. Here, find eight immersive European Christmas markets to make 2022 your merriest holiday season yet.
