Happy Thursday!

I know it's barely October, but I thought it would be a great time to talk about some fun holiday trips in case you want to take one more adventure this year 🎄

One of my favorite times to travel in Europe is during the holidays. The Christmas markets completely transform cities into festive, glowing destinations filled with lights, music, and seasonal food. These are some of my favorite Christmas markets in Europe, and I’ve written detailed guides to help you plan a trip:

✨Vienna – Vienna has markets across the city, from the big Rathausplatz market to smaller neighborhood ones. You can try traditional food, browse handmade gifts, and enjoy the lights that make the whole city glow.

✨Munich – Munich mixes Bavarian charm with holiday traditions. The main market in Marienplatz is beautiful, and you’ll also find smaller themed markets like the medieval one.

✨Prague – Prague’s markets feel like a fairytale with Old Town Square as the backdrop. It’s one of the best places to enjoy mulled wine and traditional Czech snacks while exploring the festive stalls.

✨Salzburg – Salzburg has a cozy feel with markets set against the Alps. The Christkindlmarkt by the cathedral is full of music, food, and decorations.

✨London – London goes big for Christmas with markets like Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, along with smaller local ones. You’ll find plenty of food, skating rinks, and holiday shows.

If you have any questions about the Christmas markets, or want to talk anything travel, reply to this email!

As always, you can follow along with my current travels on Instagram and Facebook!

Have a great weekend :)

Travel Resources

Travel Insurance: SafetyWing is my go-to for travel insurance because it covers so much, is easy to purchase for days or months, and is affordable. Many credit cards also include travel insurance. Personally, I get SafetyWing on top of my credit card insurance. Learn more about SafetyWing and the benefits of using them in my blog post about travel insurance.

Flytographer: Flytographer is my go-to for vacation photos. You can book a local photographer in cities around the world for quick, professional shoots that capture your trip without the stress of taking your own photos.
