Warm and Stuff Your Belly at Prague's Christmas Markets

Suggestion to explore on your own

Located near some of Germany’s most famous Christmas markets, Prague can more than compete with its rivals, especially at the Old Town Square. Here, Christmas music and short plays are performed from a stage. Below, you’ll find the usual Christmas crafts and decorations, but the real draw are the food and drinks for sale. There are many alcoholic drinks to help keep you warm, from mulled wine (Svarak) to warm mead (Medovina) and grog (a blend of Czech rum, hot water, and sugar). If drinking on an empty stomach doesn’t suit you, then enjoy traditional favorites, such as roasted chestnuts, smoked Prague ham, sausages, sweet pancakes or (Palacinky) or some Czech gingerbread (Pernik). The Christmas markets usually open at the end of November and don't close until January 6th.

Our blog has for plenty more details, here and especially here.

With its perfectly preserved UNESCO-listed Old Town, Salzburg is internationally renowned for its baroque architecture. Add in the alpine backdrop and you’ve got a city that makes for an unforgettable vacation. The imposing Salzburg Cathedral and Hohensalzburg Fortress dominate the skyline, while in the center you’ll find plenty of grand cafes and fine restaurants. Salzburg’s two biggest claims to fame are that it was the birthplace of Mozart and the stage for the timeless musical The Sound of Music. But there’s more than just history here. Today the city is a vibrant destination for travelers looking for a mix of classic culture and modern flair. Strolling through Salzburg is one of the great pleasures of Europe. The local cuisine is hearty and there are more than enough restaurants, bars, and cafes to keep you busy. Beer lovers shouldn’t miss sampling a stein or two of delicious local brew at the Augustiner brewery. But there is so much to see in the surrounding region that no visit to the city is complete without a day trip or two. You could tour the pristine countryside and visit the stunning Hellbrunn Palace. History buffs will want to venture farther afield to visit Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest perched high in the German Alps in Berchtesgaden.

Vienna is a timeless city of high culture, grand cafes, breathtaking architecture and more, all set on the banks of the majestic Danube River. The moment you set foot in the city you’ll see why Vienna’s center is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Often regarded as the world capital of music, Vienna is the place where Beethoven and Mozart made history. Even today a visit to the opera or a classical music performance at one of the city’s sublime concert halls is an unforgettable experience. Stephansplatz, Vienna's main square, is dominated by the impressive eponymous gothic St. Stephen's Cathedral. Inside you’ll find a rich collection of artistic treasures, and the view from the tower is well worth the climb, offering amazing views over the city. But the cathedral is only one of the most visible attractions in Vienna. You won’t want to miss the magnificent Schonbrunn Palace and the imperial Hofburg Palace. Explore the city on foot, in a car, or by bike: the choice is yours. If you’d like to go farther afield you can even take a river cruise to nearby Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, or a bike trip to local wineries. But you don’t have to leave Vienna to have a wonderful time. Simply strolling through the pedestrian zones in the city center and stopping for a coffee and a slice of cake make for a truly enjoyable vacation.

Advent Markets and Christmas Villages

Suggestion to explore on your own

Vienna hosts over 20 Advent Markets, but the most popular is held before the city hall. The city hall has an area where kids can learn to make Christmas cookies, and hosts international choirs, which sing carols on weekends. We also recommend the Christmas Village set up in front of the Belvedere Palace, at the opposite end of Vienna's historic Inner City. While smaller, the market matches the palace, and specializes in elaborate, traditional crafts and decorations. See our blog for plenty more details. Most of the markets open in mid November and close on December 26, some of them stay open until beginning of January.

The Paris of Central Europe, Budapest is the Queen of the Danube, a sprawling, regal city split in two halves by the mighty river. The city’s two UNESCO-listed halves, ancient Buda and modern Pest both have their charms and are linked by numerous picturesque bridges. From the Buda Castle to the Danube Embankment and the sprawling Andrassy Avenue, with its impressive architecture, there is plenty to keep you busy here, exploring and discovering this atmospheric city. It’s a little too big to explore only on foot, but the Pest side of the city is well laid out with broad avenues of the Parisian system, so it’s hard to get lost, and the public transportation, including the world's second oldest subway system, works well. Budapest has all the charm of Western Europe at a fraction of the price. Here you can taste excellent wines produced throughout the region, and even enjoy Michelin-star dining in various locations. We can offer you more than enough exciting activities in the city, from a visit to the incredible Parliament building to a boat cruise with dinner, or an exploration of Budapest’s communist past. The city also has a rich Jewish heritage, so you’ll find the perfect balance of history and modern culture here. Voted Best City in Europe in 2013 by Condé Nast Traveler readers and a regular in their top 3, Budapest really is a special city with activities to cater to every interest.

A Colorful Advent Feast and Calendar

Suggestion to explore on your own

The Advent Feast in front of St. Stephen's Basilica has crept its way up "best of" lists to become one of Europe's highest rated Christmas markets with a colorful Christmas tree, sitting in the middle of an ice skating rink. Nearby Vorosmary Square is transformed into the city’s largest Christmas market, with over 100 stands. The square’s Cafe Gerbeaud is one of Europe’s most famous coffeehouses, but the market’s projectors turn its facade into the world’s largest Advent calendar. Every night, another “window” is opened, accompanied by light and music shows, live entertainment, and food and wine tastings. Christmas Markets usually open at the beginning of November and close on January 1st.
