Famous 5 Christmas Markets of The World

I am personally very fond of Christmas and Christmas carols. Last year, I happened to visit Europe during Christmas time and found out not one but 5 Christmas Markets. Amazing... It was fun to shop and celebrate Christmas The way I wanted to. Locals confirmed the fact that these markets are common in December as they form an unusual aura of celebration and gaiety that prevails whole month.

Prague, Czech Republic

In Prague, there are two Christmas market, namely in Old Town Square and in Wenceslas Square. The start off by 5 th December and exhibit till the christmas eve. Both are perfect hubs to buy red stockings, stars and the glitters that add sparkles to Christmas Fiesta. It is a tradition here to sip mulled wine (svaree vino) while visiting the huts with handicrafts and hot food.

Dublin, Ireland

It has already hosted four christmas markets. Being the capital of Ireland, it naturally attracts travellers but during Christmas Dublin has another magnetism that draws tourist towards itself. The market run from December 12 to December 23 and overland travellers can expect seasonal food, stocking fillers, carol singers and bands to perplex the atmosphere.

Stockholm, Sweden
What Dublin can do, Stockholm can do better. Being one of the richest and the oldest in all of the Europe, Skansen Christmas Market becomes a special attraction in the month of December. You can find everything here from sausages to linen, gingerbread and children’s toys. Old carols can be heard all over this wonderful open-air museum and you experience first-hand the beauty of a Christmas up North.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Most of the christmas markets onset in the month of December but Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen is bit different as they start from November 20 and continue to till the end of December. I specially enjoyed the merry go round that was 150 years old. You can collect number of souvenirs from here that range from handicraft work to delicious cakes.

Berlin, Germany

Berlin beats all by pompously holding 60 Christmas markets in it vicinity and satifying the strong urge for those shopoholics who cann't do without shopping. The ones at Charlottenburg Castle, in Gendarmenmarkt and on the Alte Postdamer Strasse are some of the most popular. Mulled wine and the cinnamon stars are just a few of the delicacies one can find; hand-made presents are also very sought after.
