Plan for your next Christmas holidays with your family or with your friends, alone or with your loved ones. Here are some of the best Christmas Markets in Europe.

Cologne, Germany
Cologne Christmas Market has everything you'd expect of a classic German spread:- the crafts, the twinkling lights, etc. Its beautiful Christmas tree is ranked among the most beautiful Christmas trees in Europe. One thing that stands out, though, is its entertainment—more than 100 stage performances throughout the festival, including Christmas swing music and gospel. The more traditional Alter Markt by the town hall is great for children.

Basel, Switzerland
Basel's Christmas Market is the biggest and most beautiful in Europe , assembling more than 150 vendors selling handmade toys, local treats, jewellery etc. More than hundred tall pine trees border the streets and stand like brightly lit sentinels pointing the way for the visitors.

Salzburg, Austria
Salzburg has been a proud member of UNESCO's World Heritage Site and has the most famed Christmas Market. The pretty hometown of "Sound of Music" and Mozart comes into its own at Christmas, with snow-sprinkled renditions and market stalls that look much as they did when they were first set up way back in the 15th century.

Brussels, Belgium
Winter Wonders, the unmissable end-of-year event in Brussels marks every year everyone's minds! The majestic tree, magnificent light and sound at the Grand-Place, the skating rink, various exhibitions, the life-sized manger, the magical lights which dot the event…and the Christmas markets, bursting with treasures, which will delight the eyes of the curious Christmas lovers.

London, England
London's spectacular Christmas destination - Winter Wonderland - Hyde Park - which is something like a giant modern theme park. Live music, endless places to eat and shop, complete with rides, as well as bars. Some of the special things they have on offer is ice skating, a giant Ferris wheel, a circus and the Ice Kingdom. There are also lots of festive lights to enjoy in London such as along major streets including Oxford Street and Regent Street and other spots around the city, so come and enjoy Christmas with your family.

Strasbourg, France
France’s ‘Capital of Christmas’ looks like a real-life nativity scene during Christmas time. You'll find more than 300 traditional market stalls crowding the city’s central squares, doing a strong line in hand-painted wooden Christmas decorations, seek out the Market of the Invincible, small producers sausages and almondy-fruity- brioche.

Copenhagen, Denmark
Come winter, if you want to enjoy more than 500,000 fairy lights and the real-life inspiration for Disneyland, this twinkling theme park is beloved by tourists and locals alike. Don't miss Danish treats like pancake puffs topped with powdered sugar or similar to German gingerbread, this dense honey cake is sometimes filled with jam and buttercream and topped with a chocolate glaze, Hygge, indeed.
