]]> When trying to come up with this year’s Christmas destination, Krakow probably wasn’t the first location that came to mind. Therefore, it may surprise you to hear that it’s actually one of the greatest holiday destinations across Europe!

Here are 3 great reasons to pay a visit to this Polish city this holiday season.

Enchanting Christmas Markets

With charming Christmas markets that capture the holiday spirit, Krakow turns into a winter wonderland during this time of the year. The Main Market Square, Rynek Główny, hosts one of the most picturesque Christmas markets in Europe. Stroll through the stalls decorated with twinkling lights, shop for souvenirs, and taste traditional Polish delicacies. It’s magic!

History and Tradition

The rich history and traditions of Krarkow are more than worth your while and can add a unique layer to your Christmas experience. Did you know that Krarkow’s Old Town is actually a UNESCO World Heritage Site, filled with impressive architecture? Visit the Wawel Royal Castle and St. Mary’s Basilica for a majestic backdrop to your holiday explorations (and Instagram stories), explore Polish customs and rituals, and partake in authentic celebrations.

Nativity Scenes

Krakow’s elaborate nativity scenes are nothing short of spectacular. Wander through the streets filled with twinkling lights, and marvel at the intricately crafted nativity scenes displayed across the city. But that’s not all! Krakow holds a nativity scene competition, a local tradition dating back to the 19th century, where nativity scenes by local creators are assessed by a panel of judges. All creations are displayed until February at the Krzysztofory Palace.

Savannah Christmas Market, Georgia

Every year, the city of Savannah, Georgia hosts this European-style market in its Plant Riverside district. The market always launches with a traditional tree lighting ceremony, where you’ll have the chance to enjoy musical performances, eat festive foods, and take photos with Santa Claus.

]]> What’s more fun than a Christmas market? With free samples to try, intoxicating aromas in the air, a general sense of Christmas cheer and plenty of exciting gift ideas, it’s no wonder that across Europe these markets are some of the most popular tourist destinations. If you’re planning on getting into the festive spirit in the coming months, here are three of the best markets to try.

Frankfurt, Germany

This German city gets transformed throughout the months of October to December, to become a true winter wonderland. Wander from stall to stall, sampling some of the free gluhwein and admiring the traditional music piping from street corners. Despite the cold, the city takes on a warm, cosy feeling, and you’re guaranteed to find unique gifts from the sprawling market.

Vienna, Austria

One of Europe’s most beautiful cities is a natural stage for Christmas festivities. With cafes serving cream cakes and steaming cups of hot cocoa, you’ll find plenty to fuel you around the Christmas market. Don’t forget to stop and admire the stunningly traditional decorations adorning the city. Do be aware that this is one of Europe’s most popular Christmas markets, so it may be best to visit earlier in the season, before the crowds descend.

Edinburgh, UK

The Scottish captial really delivers when it comes to festive charm. The beauty of the city is a great backdrop for glittering lights and bustling market stalls. Check out some of the delicious Scottish delicacies (what says Christmas better than smoked salmon and barrel-aged whisky?) and enjoy minging with the jolly crowds who are all here to catch a bit of that festive magic.

Many cities across Europe host Christmas markets, but the three listed here are ome of the finest. Wrap up warm, bring some bags, and prepare to mingle with the crowds at one of these stunning markets.

]]> Many major cities around the world are hosting Christmas markets this holiday season, and they should be one of the first stops on your travel itinerary. It’s easy to get carried away and spend a lot of money on gifts and tasty treats while attending these festive markets, but these three tips will help you keep your expenses in check.

Take Your Time

When doing your shopping, you should always weigh all your options to save some money, and this rule applies to Christmas markets. Looking around is half of the fun, and you should use this time to figure out what you want to buy and look for the best and most affordable offer.

Plan Your Budget

You’ll end up spending a fortune at a Christmas market if you don’t have a budget in mind. Most things being sold here are pretty cheap, but the expenses will pile up as you continue shopping. You’ll also end up being swept up by holiday spirit and end up making a lot of impulse purchases if you don’t set a limit.

Food Limit

Speaking of limits you should set at a Christmas market, going overboard with food also isn’t the best idea. You don’t have to buy every festive treat and drink in sight, so focus on trying the ones that you’ve never tasted before and can’t actually buy anywhere else.

]]> Like many mass gatherings that were supposed to take place this year, Christmas markets are taking a hit in the face of the global pandemic. Until now, they were one of the main causes behind the popularity of winter city breaks and weekend getaways, but can we still visit them?

Canceled or Not?

There’s no one clear answer regarding the cancelation of this year’s Christmas markets. Some of them are already canceled (Berlin, Liverpool, Budapest), others are expected to proceed, but the rules are changing every day and the future of Christmas markets is hanging by a thread.

Safety Rules

If you end up booking a trip to a city with a Christmas market this winter, there will be strict safety measures in place. Social distancing rules, hand sanitizer stations, mandatory face coverings, and one one-way system will become the new normal at these festive events.

Street Food

One of the best parts about Christmas markets is all the tasty street food you get to try, but you should tread lightly when buying it this year. You have to remove your mask in order to eat, and if there’s no socially distanced eating area in place, you should get your food to-go.
