Best European Christmas Markets
1. Vienna, Austria
Recommended by Nadine from Le Long weekend
The Vienna Christmas Dream market is held in front of the City Hall, at Rathausplatz. It’s the largest of the many Christmas markets in Vienna and encompasses several festive activities alongside the stalls selling traditional food and trinkets. Rathausplatz is located near the center of Vienna, so it’s easily accessible via the tram and train network. There is a tram station right out front called Rathausplatz/Burgtheater.
The market typically opens in late November and runs right through to December 26th. It’s then normally replaced by a New Year’s market. The markets are typical of those found throughout Vienna, in that they have a large range of stalls selling authentic Viennese ‘original’ snow globes, tasty treats (make sure you try the warming soup in bread or a hot mug of punch), handmade toys, a large range of woolen clothes and accessories, and of course many trinkets for your Xmas tree. It’s a fabulous place to buy souvenirs to take back home with you.
Visiting the Vienna Christmas market is a full festive experience, as alongside the market stalls, you’ll find an ice skating rink, rides for the kids, workshops, and more. If you can, try to visit on a weekend, when you’ll find choirs singing carols inside the City Hall. If one market isn’t enough, there are many more within walking distance. Maria-Theresien-Platz is only 600m away and offers another grand spectacle, or the more intimate markets of Spittelberg are 850m away. You can also pop across the road to catch a show at the magnificent Burgtheater.
2. Strasbourg, France
Recommended by Bec from Wyld Family Travel
One of the most famous Christmas Markets in the world and one of the best Christmas markets in Alsace is held in Strasbourg every year and every year it does not disappoint. You will find most of the market located in the La Petite France area of Strasbourg and out in front of Notre Dame Cathedral. From there it seems to take on a life of its own spreading through the cobbled stone streets.
It is easy to get to Strasbourg as there are options to fly, take public transport to Strasbourg from Paris, take a guided trip to Strasbourg or make a road trip to Strasbourg on your own. No matter how you decide to go you will be in for a treat once you get there.
The atmosphere is electric any time of day and the Christmas spirit is more than alive as people joyously wander from stall to stall. You will find locals and travelers alike enjoying some amazing fresh cooked homemade recipes from the stalls that are there. Delicious smells throughout the city will tempt you to buy in order to see what it tastes like and stallholders are more than happy to tell you the story of their wares.
If it is a cold day you can warm yourself up with a cup of Vin Chaud. Many stalls require a deposit for the return of the cup but if you get a really nice one you can take it home with you. If you don’t like wine you may want to have a cup of Le Cidre Chaud. While they are all called the same thing every stall has a slight difference in the ingredients, so they are all slightly different.
After you have had your Christmas Market fill take the time to have a look at The Notre Dame Cathedral or the Palace Rohan as both are amazing to visit and will no doubt add to your unforgettable visit to Strasbourg.
Strasbourg Christmas Market is top of many people’s bucket list places to visit.
3. Franfurt, Germany
Recommended by Daniel and Ilona from Top Travel Sights
The Christmas market in Frankfurt is not just one of the best Christmas markets in Europe but also one of the oldest, having started in the late 1300s. Today, the market sprawls across most of the city center. The best place to start your visit is on Römerberg, in the heart of the Old Town. Depending on where you’re staying, you can either walk here or use the subway to go to the station Dom/Römer.
The Frankfurt Christmas market opens in late November and closes two days before Christmas. Römerberg is home to one of the main attractions of the Christmas market – the giant Christmas tree. You can also find a stage here, where, on weekends, choirs Christmas carols.
While here, make sure to try a glass of hot Apfelwein. This is a drink similar to cider, which, at the Christmas market, you can enjoy hot and infused with various spices. If you prefer it without alcohol, you can also find variations made from apple juice. If you want to have a snack with your drink, try some traditional German sausages you can get at the market. Or head to some of the stalls selling baked goods and buy Bethmännchen, local almond cookies that originated in Frankfurt.
The Frankfurt Christmas market is an excellent place if you’re looking for souvenirs or gifts. You can get traditional German handicrafts here, including Räuchermännchen, little wooden men with a pipe. Fill them with an incense cone, and they’ll look as if they’re smoking!
If you want to see the Christmas market from above, make sure to head to the tower of the Frankfurt Cathedral. From here, you have a spectacular view of the market nestled amongst the traditional half-timbered houses, with skyscrapers rising in the background.
4. Brussels, Belgium
Recommended by Lance and Laura from Travel Addicts
Brussels is the capital of Europe and the seat of the European Parliament, so it would make sense that they have an excellent market, arguably the largest Christmas market in Europe. The main Christmas Market in Brussels stretches through downtown Brussels including Place Sainte-Catherine and Marché aux Poissons. The market is a stunning 2.6km in length and has over 250 vendors. Most visitors will walk over from Grand Place or take the Metro to the Saine Catherine stop.
The market starts the Friday before the last full weekend in November and extends through the first Sunday in January. Unlike some of the markets in Europe, this one extends past Christmas itself. The official market hours are from 12:00-22:00, although the food stalls tend to open a bit earlier to accommodate the lunch crowd.
The market itself is full of stalls selling traditional handicrafts as well as toys and candy for the children. Popular gifts are scarves, hats, and slippers. For food, do not miss the tartiflette. It’s made in giant paella pans of potatoes, cheese, onions, and white wine – the ultimate comfort food. Of course, being Belgium, you’ll also find waffles and Pommes Frites. And the ubiquitous vin chaud (hot mulled wine) to drink.
One of the most popular activities is to ride on the giant Ferris wheel, which overlooks the market. Lines can be long, so try to come early or very late. From the top, you can also see some of the buildings in Grand Place, which is another site not to miss. The holiday light show against the UNESCO World Heritage Site buildings is spectacular!
Pro tip: The market is busiest on the weekends and in the days leading up to Christmas itself. Since many businesses in Brussels close on Christmas and the market is open, it’s usually very busy. Try to time your visit early in the week, if possible.
5. Colmar, France
Recommended by Mark from Wyld Family Travel
If you are looking for one of the most magical Christmas markets in the world look no further than the Colmar Christmas market.

While they aren’t huge rides for thrill-seekers they are enough for children to keep them entertained and occupied while you get your Christmas market fix.
You can visit the market any time of day but if you would like the full Christmas Market experience, visiting at night would be the best time to go. The streets are lit up with twinkle lights and carolers take the stage to sing, with many people joining in. Extra layers for the children is a good idea although some nights because of the crowds you may find you are warm enough with only an extra layer or two.
In the stalls, you will find plenty of Alsacian cuisines that you can try. From fried potatoes with bacon and onion to Tart Flambe getting something to ease your hunger is easy. Gingerbread is also popular in the Alsace region. You will find that the Fortwenger Gingerbread to be one of the best in the world with their shops filled with local delight.

6. Cologne, Germany
Recommended by Katherine from Worldwidehoneymoon
When it comes to the best Christmas markets in Europe, Cologne is definitely a top one. There are actually 7 main markets in the city itself, so you could easily spend a day exploring the best Christmas markets in Cologne. The two main markets you should consider for your visit to Cologne, Germany include the Cologne Cathedral Christmas Market and the Alter Market.
Getting to these two markets is easy, as the Cologne Cathedral Christmas Market is right next to the towering Cologne Cathedral. And a short walk from there will lead you to the Alter Market. The opening dates for these markets are from November 22 until December 23, 2021, and are typically open from 11 am-10 pm.
Both markets sell loads of Christmas trinkets ranging from paper stars to mini nativity sets. However, they all also sell delightful German foods ranging from spaetzle (egg noodles with cheese and crispy onions), potato pancakes with applesauce, sausages, and, of course, gluhwein (or mulled wine).
The Cologne Cathedral market has several live performances and the Christmas tree towers over the market! You’ll also have twinkle lights above you and the beautiful Cologne Cathedral as the backdrop for this enchanting place.
At the Alter Market or Heinzels Wintermaerchen, it is known for its large ice rink, rides for kids, and cheeky little gnomes everywhere (including in your mulled wine mug)! Seriously, it is known as the “gnome market” and it is the most charming as it is situated right in the old city.
One thing that shouldn’t be missed about these markets, is watching both be lit after nightfall. As the sun sets rather early this time of year, you’ll easily find yourself mesmerized by all the lights! A visit to Cologne for its Christmas markets is always a lovely holiday idea in Europe!

9. Berlin, Germany
Recommended by Ali from Berlin Travel Tips
The Charlottenburg Palace Christmas market is one of the prettiest markets in Berlin. Even though there are dozens of Christmas markets in Berlin, this one should not be missed because of its gorgeous setting. Since the market is located in front of the palace, the decorations are fancy and the highlight is the light illuminations of the castle and park. Here you’ll enjoy the atmosphere of a traditional German Christmas market with the backdrop of elegance.
Entrance to this Christmas market is free. To get to the Charlottenburg Palace, the closest Sbahn station is Westend, and the closest Ubahn station is Sophie-Charlotte-Platz. But if you want to avoid the 15-minute walk from either of those, connect to either bus 109 or M45 and get out at the Luisenplatz/Schloss Charlottenburg stop.
Charlottenburg Palace Christmas market usually opens in the last week of November till 26 December. During weekdays, the opening hours are from 2 PM – 10 PM and during weekends, it’s 12 PM – 10 PM. The market is closed on Christmas eve.
Wander through the stalls and you’ll see a variety of food and drink options. From plenty of traditional mulled wine, interesting hot cocktails, sausages, and potatoes, to some non-German food such as Hungarian goulash and langos. Also, there are loads of sweet treats like candied apples.
Vendors here sell things you’ll see at most traditional German Christmas markets, such as Christmas decorations, chocolate in the shape of tools, and candied almonds. But you’ll also see hand-crafted items, like jewelry and carved wood items. This is a great place to buy thoughtful gifts for friends and family, or even to buy a gift for yourself.
For a different perspective, be sure to climb to the viewing platform above the Hungarian food hut. This will give you a nice view of the Christmas market and the palace from a higher vantage point. The palace is worth visiting any time of the year, but during the Christmas market season, you can also take a special guided tour of the Christmas traditions of the Hohenzollern family, who were the former residents of the palace.
10. Prague, Czech Republic
Recommended by Veronika from Travel Geekery
The Prague Castle Christmas Market can be found in the heart of Prague, right inside the main landmark – the Prague Castle complex. You can get to it easily either by simply walking from the Old Town Square or taking a tram – no. 22 to Pražský Hrad stop. The tram stop Malostranské náměstí (no. 22 too) is also located nearby, as well as a metro stop, Malostranská (yellow metro line “B”).

You can warm up with a drink such as mulled wine or hot mead. Typical Czech handicrafts can be also bought there including Christmas tree decorations, wooden toys, and little souvenirs.
The best thing to do at the market is to walk through and soak up the magical atmosphere of the castle. If you get lucky, you might witness a performance of the Prague Castle choir or even see the Prague Castle guards marching through to perform the regular changing of the guard’s ceremony.
This market is like no other Christmas market in Prague. Its setting is just unbeatable. The majestic cathedral of St. Vitus provides the best backdrop that can be. Since there are security frames to enter the Prague Castle complex, and often long lines form, the market doesn’t get too crowded and feels more intimate. If you want to avoid long lines, avoid visiting on the weekend or the afternoon during the workweek.
Inside the Prague Castle complex, you definitely shouldn’t miss seeing the interior of the St. Vitus Cathedral or walk through the Golden Lane. You can purchase tickets for these sights at the info point. If you come here after 4 pm, the entrance to the Golden Lane is free!

Therefore, you’ll find traditional German Christmas foods like bratwurst and gluhwein. The potatoes are especially good – don’t miss them!
