The 5 most beautiful Christmas markets in Europe

The Nuremberg Christmas Market takes place in the beautiful setting of Hauptmarkt, the main medieval square. The typical wooden huts offer local crafts and the famous Lebkuchen (spiced cookies). Don't miss the charming opening with the speech of the "Christmas Angel," a tradition that has been passed down since the seventeenth century.

Dubbed the "Capital of Christmas," Strasbourg hosts a market, set up around the majestic Cathedral, with over 300 chalets where you can discover typical Alsatian products, handmade decorations, and delicious foods like bredele. For over 450 years, the city becomes an enchanted world.

Snowflakes, soft lights, and ancient walls provide the backdrop for the picturesque Tallinn Christmas market in the Town Hall Square. Here, an intimate and Nordic atmosphere is experienced: among wooden crafts, wool sweaters, and the scent of caramelized almonds, the most authentic Christmas spirit is savored. Unique and evocative, the tradition of the Christmas tree in the center of the square dates back to 1441 and is considered one of the oldest in Europe.

At Rathausplatz in Vienna, Christmas is celebrated among sparkling decorations and ancient Viennese melodies. The atmosphere is elegantly festive, with thousands of lights illuminating the large tree and ice skating rinks in the background of the City Hall.
