Tallinn Christmas Market, Estonia

Every December, a dusting of snow and a few decorations transform the heart of Tallinn’s medieval Old Town into a winter wonderland. Estonians take Christmas very seriously and are often credited as one of the first groups of people to bring the tradition of displaying trees for the holiday to Europe. In addition to several Christmas trees, the Tallinn market also features crafts, local cuisine, and even a merry-go-round.

Old Town Market Square, Poland

Warsaw is home to several holiday markets, with the annual Old Town market being the largest and most famous. The city’s historic center is a sight to see decorated with lights and an 80-foot Christmas tree, which add an air of celebration to the otherwise quaint and cozy area. Stay warm with a hot cup of spiced wine as you shop for Polish crafts, or grab your skates and hit the rink outside the Palace of Culture.

Salzburg, Austria

If you want an authentic Christmas market, try Salzburg. Home to Mozart, you will find this market filled with music and Christmas carols. Gifts will be of the more traditional kind, so the market is no good if you’re looking for novelty gifts. There is a free daily concert at Salzburg Cathedral for those that want to immerse themselves in Christmas cheer.

Copenhagen, Denmark

There are multiple markets across Copenhagen, filled with fun, music, food and Christmas activities. Grab a mug of glogg (mulled wine) and try out the ice skating and fairground in Tivoli. Walk down the cobbled streets lit with candles and fairy lights. Expect a truly magical experience and an array of Christmas presents that will cater for everyone.

Berlin, Germany

This capital has over 80 impressive Christmas markets, which have something for everyone – even dogs (found at Forsthaus Paulsborn). For a nostalgic destination filled with intricate arts and crafts, try the Weihnachtszauber market. Whichever mood and market you chose, be advised to check the dates, as some only run for a few days.

Bratislava, Slovakia

For a market with more traditional wooden toys, Slovakia is the perfect place. Expect Christmas lights draped around trees and stalls, creating an enchanting festive paradise. Don’t forget to sample the delicious food and Christmas drinks to warm your tummy and heart.
