Christmas Markets in Europe

I am spending this week in Prague, that is how I got the inspiration to write about Christmas markets. It is definitely worth visiting any European capitals at this time of the year even if the weather is quite cold. You can enjoy walking round the main squares, looking at the stalls selling different kinds of Christmas products, having a warm drink and some food and listening to music.

The advent markets:
