The largest
square in Madrid
is home to a stunningly
beautiful market in
November and December.
This usually summer
vacation spot comes alive to
celebrate Christmas during

VIENNA

Between mid-November and the end
of December, Vienna’s centuries-old
Christmas markets have something for
everyone. One of the oldest in Europe,
running since 1298 as a simple
‘December Market’, there are now over
20 Christmas market areas
across the city.
