Christmas Markets to Visit in Europe

jana meerman vienna austria christmas christkindlmarkt (25)

Christmastime is one of the most magical times of year and arguably, no where does this time of year better than Europe. Twinkle lights, snow, carols and Christmas Markets abound. Nearly every city and town you visit is likely to be hosting a Christmas Market of some sort.

I was born in Europe, lived here for eight years in my childhood, came back to visit many times while growing up in North America, and eventually moved back here in 2020, living first in Belgium and now in Austria. All this to say, I've been lucky enough to have traveled Europe fairly extensively. It will never be enough and there is ALWAYS more to see in Europe, but I do like to think I've sampled quite a lot of what this continent has to offer.

Check out every country I have visited in Europe so far!

While there are countless Christmas Markets across the continent and far more than I will ever get to visit in one lifetime, I thought it was high time I put together a compilation of all the markets I have been to so far.

This list gets updated as I visit more Christmas Markets; this post was first published 28 December 2024.
