Christmas market top tip
If you want to go on holiday where there ’ s a Christmas market that suits your budget and desires , it ’ s important to do your research . There are ones that are more designed for children , while others would suit couples . Some are also bigger than others . It really depends on what you want – do you want variety , intimacy , or family fun ? You choose !
However , they haven ’ t standardised the dates and not all run up to and beyond Christmas , so make sure you are aware of how long these markets run for before you make your booking so that you ’ re not disappointed .
This may be an obvious thing to say , but it ’ s important to dress for the cold . No doubt , you ’ ll be wandering around the markets for hours and the last thing you want to do is cut your experience short because your shivers are splashing up the hot drinks .

Finally , we may live in an increasingly ‘ tap-your-card-and-go ’ world , but it ’ s always a good idea to take some spare cash with you in case you fall in love with trinkets and foods from smaller operators who may not be as technically savvy .
