]]>London takes Christmas (and Christmas shopping) very seriously, and every year thousands of tourists flock to big department stores such as Harrods to soak up the festive atmosphere and get some shopping done. To make the most of the Christmas lights, head to Regent Street on the 8th of November, which is when crowds will gather to see them get turned on.
With its pretty canals, stunning architecture, and beautiful city parks, Amsterdam is a magical place to get into the spirit of Christmas. It’s possible to do a walking tour of the lights around the canals (the lights look particularly gorgeous reflected in the water) or snuggle up in a cozy bar with a view of the lights outside.
Many Christmas traditions hark from Germany, including Christmas trees, stollen, and mulled wine. So it makes sense that Germany’s capital does Christmas lights very well. Whilst you will find plenty of traditional lights in the city, it also specializes in displaying amusing, whimsical, and original lights.

]]>Reported to be one of the most spectacular light shows in the world by National Geographic magazine, the municipality of Medellin holds the renowned Festival of Lights every Christmas. Over 30 million multi-colored lights create biblical scenes of the nativity alongside thousands of models and giant statues of the wise men. The lights go up in late November and stay in place until mid-January.
More than 60 million people come every year to this town to see the “Natal Luz” festival. Meaning “the Christmas of Lights”, the festival lasts 60 days and includes plays, concerts, parades, firework displays, and street decorations.
While the Christmas season in Costa Rica lasts from December 1 all the way to February 2, Christmas day is the day when the capital city rejoices. Street festivals, parades, firework displays, and music fill the city as light shows adorn the grand buildings of the Old Town.

]]>This Christmas destination is well-known for its lights and decorations that adorn the tourist town at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains, but this year, a new and unique attraction is drawing tourists to visit Gatlinburg.
SkyLift Park, which features the longest pedestrian bridge in North America, has transformed its star attraction into a tunnel of lights to celebrate the Christmas and holiday seasons.
The 680-foot long bridge, which sits a vertigo-inducing 140 feet above the town, is now adorned with multi-colored lights that have turned it into a monument that invokes holiday cheer. In addition to the bridge’s decorations, it also gives visitors a bird’s eye view of the festive decorations in downtown Gatlinburg.
Even if you don’t like heights, you can ride a gondola up to the SkyDeck Park at the end of the bridge, which features a fire pit and all kinds of festive lights and decorations.
This attraction will only be lit up for the holidays until January 25th, so be sure to check it out soon!

]]>Located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in rainy Galicia, this city might be more famous for its stunning beaches and delicious seafood than Christmas. However, in recent years, Vigo has become one of the centers of Christmas spirit in all of Europe.
Every year in late November, the city illuminates over 10,000,000 LED Christmas lights in the city’s streets and squares to ring in the holiday season. This turns Vigo into a “city of lights” that must be seen in order to be believed.
In addition to the stunning number of lights, the city also features a 110-foot tall electronic Christmas tree that displays a variety of interesting light patterns and designs in the Porta do Sol area.
This year, Vigo will also debut a 200-foot tall ferris wheel that will allow visitors to ride up to see the lights from above. In addition, a Christmas market featuring artificial snow cannons and artisanal crafts will help revelers get into the holiday spirit.
So, if you are looking for a unique and stunning Christmas destination, put Vigo, Spain at the top of your list!
