Alternative Christmas markets:
1. Wroclaw (Poland)
Discover Wroclaw, Poland’s ‘new Krakow’, a stunning city perfect for a smaller budget in the run up to Christmas. A UNESCO World Heritage site on the Oder River, colourful townhouses surround the vast Market Square which is taken over by markets each winter. Affordable and an escape from the more well-known markets, Wroclaw offers a perfect break for couples and families alike.
2. Lisbon (Portugal)
Lisbon is a fantastic city to visit, especially if it’s your first time. You’ll be blown away by the historic buildings, wide avenues, and bustling port. Today, the city is alive and well with architectural gems. The Bairro Alto area, with its trendy coffee shops, open-air cafes, and music bars, gives it a cool, lively vibe. At Christmas time Wonderland Lisboa has to be the most popular place in Lisbon for those in love with Christmas. Located in the heart of Lisbon, here you will find an ice rink, places where you can buy hand-made products, a giant Ferris wheel, and live music and performances. Beyond the markets, there is plenty to explore.
Christmas Markets across Europe begin opening in the last week of November and run until the beginning of January. For more information on Christmas Market packages from Click&Go Holidays, including return direct flights and centrally located accommodation, please visit: www.clickandgo.com.
