Traveling with TST Tourist to celebrate Christmas in Europe, visitors will be pleasantly surprised to have the opportunity to visit famous cities and experience the traditional activities characteristic of the biggest holiday season of the year in the old continent.
Milan, Italy
Not only famous as the "fashion capital" of the world, Milan – Italy's second largest city – is also known as a gathering place of magnificent architectural works and many valuable works of art. Visiting Milan during Christmas, tourists are captivated by the splendor of the Milan Cathedral, which looks like a shimmering snow globe in the winter. The building is constructed in the Gothic style with 135 tall, pointed spires. Strolling through the streets of Milan during these days is also a delightful way to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere, as everywhere from the Santa Maria delle Grazie monastery to the La Scala theater or the Duomo di Milano cathedral in Piazza del Duomo is beautifully decorated. At this time, don't forget to sip some sweet wine and enjoy a slice of Panettone – the famous sweet bread, a symbol of Milan, often eaten during Christmas and New Year.
London, England
December is the busiest "sale month" of the year in England, coinciding with Christmas and New Year. Therefore, visitors to London at this time shouldn't miss the opportunity to shop on Bond Street, Oxford Street, and Regent Street – home to many world-renowned brands offering thousands of products at incredibly discounted prices. The entire UK seems to be adorned with a new, magical glow from countless dazzling colored lights.
Visitors can enjoy the giant Ferris wheel, ice skating at the world's largest rink in Hyde Park, vibrant performances and traditional mime shows, or join a choir in a spectacular setting. Christmas in London wouldn't be complete without visiting Santa's Grotto, located throughout Harrods Street, the Canary Wharf, and museums. If you're lucky, you might even spot Santa Claus riding his reindeer at London Zoo.
Berlin, Germany
One of the most characteristic activities of the Christmas season in the West is the appearance of bustling and lively Christmas markets. Germany is considered the cradle of Christmas markets, with the first ones appearing there in the 13th century. Of the more than 150 Christmas markets in Germany, Berlin alone has 60, opening from mid-November to December 23rd or 24th. Here, visitors can find everything related to Christmas, from decorations, toys, winter supplies, baking tools, to enjoying food, participating in thrilling games, and watching lively performances. Amidst this bustling atmosphere, take some time for yourself to sip a cup of Glüwein (mature wine) and some delicious Lebkuchen under a tree sparkling with lights. The cultural setting of Germany will surely make you feel like you've stepped into the fairytale world of the Grimms' stories.
