Frankfurt Christmas Markets

If you’ve ever wished to experience the wonderful wintertime charm of the old age, then the Frankfurt Christmas Market is the place for you! In December, Frankfurt’s historical old town is cheerfully illuminated by thousands of fairy lights reflecting through the windows of the square’s traditional half-timbered houses.

If there’s one thing not to miss in Frankfurt is having a hot Applewine and almond candies next to Germany’s brightest Merry-go-around!

Belgium: Bruges or Brussels?

If you’ve ever wished to embark on a comic-strip walk, then wandering in Belgium is the right stroll! This medieval Belgian city provides the perfect setting for Christmas mosaic ornaments and light installations, as well as other creative festivities!

Brussels is a city of several undertones and multilayers, while Bruges is a picturesque city in Flanders.

Budapest, Hungary

One of my favorite parts of the Christmas mosaic ornaments in Hungary is the fast regional train of Budapest ornamented with mosaic lights appearing like swirling stars during the night. This light installation perhaps is the most creative and the brightest Christmas Light ever.

While in Budapest enjoy the smell of traditional honey cookies, mulled wine, cinnamon, from afar. The rich fragrant will simply lure you to the market!

Regent Street, London

This year’s Regent Street Christmas lights are set to be the street’s most ambitious Christmas illuminations ever, and the largest scheme in central London. Named ‘The Spirit of Christmas’, the designs are a modern reimagining of the very first Regent Street Christmas lights from 1954, which were lit-up angels!

Many city dwellers hightail out of town for the holidays, so you practically get it to yourself and have the chance to witness the magnificent illuminations that pop up across the city.
