About Christmas & Festive Breaks
As the festive season approaches, there's no better time to explore Europe’s charming winter markets. From the twinkling lights of Vienna (VIE) to the bustling stalls in Munich (MUC), you'll find everything from handcrafted gifts to mulled wine. This collection highlights some of the top destinations for Christmas and festive breaks, including Prague (PRG), Brussels (BRU), and beyond. If you're searching for cheap flights to cities like Budapest (BUD) or Edinburgh (EDI), now’s the time to plan your getaway for November or December, when the festive cheer is at its peak.
Best time to book
To snag the best deals on flights for your Christmas and festive breaks, aim to book your tickets at least two to three months in advance. Prices tend to rise significantly as the holiday season approaches, especially for popular destinations like Zurich (ZRH) and Cologne (CGN). If you're flexible with your travel dates, consider flying mid-week instead of on weekends to save some money. Keep an eye on airline promotions and last-minute deals, but don’t wait too long, as availability can quickly dwindle during this busy period.
Local cuisine to try
Don't miss the chance to sample local festive delicacies while exploring the markets. Each destination has its own seasonal treats; for instance, in Prague, try trdelník, a sweet pastry, while in Brussels, indulge in warm waffles topped with chocolate. These local dishes not only warm you up but also offer a genuine taste of the culture. Be adventurous and pair your snacks with a cup of glühwein or hot chocolate for the full festive experience.
