Great-value festive city breaks are available in Cologne, Paris, Estonia and many more Christmassy destinations
Halloween will soon be out of the way and people’s focus will switch to Christmas.
With the exception of catching Santa himself eating a mince pie and depositing gifts under a Christmas tree, nothing is more Christmassy than enjoying a cup of mulled wine at a Christmas market.
There are great Christmas markets in London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, York, Manchester to name but a few but, that said, the continental Christmas market experience is hard to beat.
Furthermore, deals site Wowcher currently has a number of great deals at under £100 per person for folk who want to experience wonderful traditional Christmas markets in locations including Budapest, Copenhagen, Cologne, Venice, Riga, Prague, Berlin, Paris and more besides.
The Wowcher deals include flights and hotels and are advertised on the site as follows, though prices may be subject to change:
Jet2 is also offering Christmas market breaks to destinations such as Vienna, Krakow, Tallinn and other destinations you can see here.
Cologne’s Christmas market is a particular favourite with travellers, one visitor who went last year said on the TripAdvisor site: “There are quite a few Christmas markets around Cologne which is a lovely place to visit and every market is lovely.
“I would however recommend the Angel market at Neumarkt which was just so beautiful to be in, very Christmassy feel to it. Every stall in the markets had lovely friendly people on them and it was lovely just walking around soaking in the atmosphere.”
This visitor also had a word of warning, saying: “They do get quite packed out, especially in the evening but it is all good humoured and friendly. I will certainly be going back as it was such an enjoyable time.”
For those who would prefer to stay in the UK, Wowcher also has hotel packages available for Christmas market breaks in Harrogate, Chester, Edinburgh and more.
Some dates for Edinburgh have already sold out but there are breaks, including hotel accommodation, available from £129.
