Christmas Markets
Go after dark to enjoy the twinkle of lights, the sound of carols and the taste of mulled wine.
If you like all things festive - think Christmas music, twinkling lights, mulled wine, roast chestnuts and mince pies - then get yourself to one of Europe's Christmas Markets this winter.
For the real McCoy, head to Germany or Austria, where the tradition originated, and experience a slice of Christmas magic that will send a tingle down your spine.
A Taste of Christmas Past
In Germany, Cologne and Berlin are great places to try for a choice of markets with Cologne alone hosting no fewer than six!
Cologne's breathtaking cathedral, for example, hosts a dynamic market in a great setting. For a look back in time to "markets of old", the Alter Markt is a wonderful experience.
A rather novel alternative venue is the floating market aboard the MS Wappen von Mainz.
