Creator's Key Takeaways

European Christmas markets are just pure magic

I have a collection of six from a river cruise that I took in 2021 from Basel to Amsterdam

Strasbourg is called the capital of Christmas and it's for a very good reason

It's a holiday experience that's been enchanting visitors for centuries and it's somewhere that I would return to over and over again

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider a river cruise to unpack once and see markets mostly in daytime while traveling at night
On a motor coach tour, you can stay near markets overnight and enjoy Christmas lights with more evening exploration time
Book river cruise packages for Christmas 2024 quickly as availability is limited

Welcome to the very first episode of my Coffee Talk series! Each week, we’ll explore destinations that will fuel your wanderlust and discuss ways you can experience them—whether through ocean and river cruises, guided tours, luxury escapes, or on your own with optional tours. This series is NOT about finding the cheapest deals or cutting corners. It is all about a destination focus and offering great value on unforgettable travel experiences. So whether you're just here for a little inspiration or ready to book that dream trip, you’re in the right place! Today, we’re talking about the most popular European Christmas markets in five regions — Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic — then chat about some river cruise and guided tour options for last-minute bookings for 2024 or just in time to book for next year!
