Discover the magic of Europe's top ten Christmas markets

04 DECEMBER 2012

Find the magic of Christmas in one of Europe's top ten Christmas markets. Shop for trinkets and hand crafted goods in the quaint wooden huts, or simply sit beneath the cascading starry lights and take in the aroma of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts. 

HELLO! Online have picked out the best locations dotted around Europe to experience the romantic holiday that comes to life in grand tradition – when the stalls are up and the ice rinks ready.

Forget the hassle of frantic seasonal shopping in overcrowded city streets, the ambience of an advent market encompasses everything a shopping centre experience does not – think decorated gingerbread men, candlelit carol singing, stocking-fillers of glass ornaments and wooden toys, and the occasional traditional treat to help you on your merry way.
