Exploring the Christmas Markets of Europe Posted by Each year, European towns and cities play host to the charming, traditional Christmas markets. Monday 30th June 2025

Each year, European towns and cities play host to the charming, traditional Christmas markets. Festive stalls form a carpet of colour throughout many of the squares and cobbled streets, each selling unusual gifts and trinkets that your customers just can’t resist. Tempting Treats --------------- Dotted throughout the stalls, you will find tasty treats to tempt you as you stroll around: delicious German sausage; chips with mayonnaise, a popular Belgian snack; hot roast nuts; and for those customers with a sweet tooth, there are so many mouth-watering snacks on offer: waffles with fresh cream; pancakes with chocolate – the list goes on. Then there’s the seductive smell of Glühwein that lures you over to the nearest stall, and ensures your customers are kept toasty throughout the day – for a few cents extra you can even keep your mug as a souvenir! Or why not try a scrumptious hot chocolate, towered high with whipped cream – but this is a European Christmas market – and this heavenly drink is made extra special with a dash of creamy Bailey’s or warming rum! Whether they fancy a nice brew, a local beer or mulled wine, there’s an abundance of beverages to choose from. That’s one thing about a Christmas market – you can be sure your customers will never be hungry or thirsty! Unusual Gifts ------------- If you’re stuck for Christmas gift ideas, look no further. The markets are brimming with quaint and wonderful souvenirs: hand-blown and colourful, painted baubles; unusual jewellery; festive decorations; a plentiful array of hats and scarves; snug slippers; traditional knit wear; novel ornaments; unusual candles; lovely leather goods – there’s so much to choose from for those last-minute Christmas gifts. Great Choice of Short Breaks ---------------------------- Whether it’s cruising the magical markets of the Rhine Valley in Germany; visiting the cathedral city of Cologne with its six markets or taking in the largest underground market in the Dutch town of Valkenburg, we have a wonderful range of breaks, visiting some of the very best Christmas markets across Europe. We offer a range of 3 to 7-day breaks from only £129. You can find out more about our range of Christmas Market tours online now."
