You can’t escape the Christmas cheer when you have these incredible Christmas markets on their way throughout November and December and some of them have flights for less than £9.99.
One of the best Christmas markets in Europe, it also offers concerts, laser shows, thermal baths, an ice rink and ballet performances during the festive season.
Cologne offers a total of eight main Christmas markets to choose from, although the most impressive include the Cologne Cathedral, Alter Markt, Rudolfplatz, and Neumarkt.
The Winter lantern parade takes place on December 4th, before Father Christmas makes a magical entrance arriving on a horse drawn Victorian.
At the heart of the celebration stands Strasbourg’s Great Christmas Tree, a 30m tall tree that truly symbolises the city’s passion for Christmas.
