European Christmas Markets and 2024 Dates

I don’t know how you feel about winter, but Europe’s Christmas markets have a magical atmosphere that makes you love even the cold weather. Christmas markets are not only a place to shop, but also a Christmas spirit experience. Colorful lights, mulled wine and local food stands, handmade souvenirs, cinnamon-scented streets, especially if it snows, you can feel like you are in a real fairy tale. So, I have gathered the most beautiful European Christmas markets and 2024 dates for you.

Things to Know About European Christmas Markets

The Most Beautiful European Christmas Markets

Some countries have Christmas markets in almost all their cities, while others have them only in their big cities. I list the most beautiful Christmas markets by country. In some big cities such as Paris and Berlin, there are multiple markets and they all have different dates. In such cities, I will put the date of the first Christmas market on the start date and the date of the last one on the end date, just FYI.

Note: Some dates may change, I will make updates if necessary.
