Top Things To Do & Places To Visit This Christmas
Christmas In The Sun
Escape the holiday madness and fly south on our selection of Christmas holidays in the sun. Malta and Tenerife have some of the warmest winter weather in all of Europe and are a great place to get a dose of Vitamin D during the holiday season. On all our Christmas holidays, you’ll enjoy a special dinner at your hotel to celebrate Christmas Day, blending festive cheer with warm-weather relaxation. It’s the ideal way to celebrate and recharge during the Christmas season.
Christmas Markets
Transform Christmas shopping into a festive treat on our Christmas Market holidays! Visit enchanting markets in Cologne, Munich, Vienna, Budapest, and more. Sip Glühwein in Berlin, enjoy carol singers in Vienna, and shop for traditional crafts in Budapest. Each holiday includes city tours with expert local guides to help you explore, plus ample free time to wander the markets at your own pace and soak up the festive atmosphere. It's the perfect way to combine shopping with seasonal charm.
Christmas In Austria
When most people think of a European Christmas, we picture snow covered mountains, rich, timber-framed buildings strung with Christmas lights, and a winding maze of lively Christmas markets. We’ll be able to experience all of this and more on our Festive Holidays to Austria, where we'll be surrounded by beautiful alpine scenery in the Austrian Alps. If you’re looking for a traditional European Christmas, look no further than our festive getaways to Austria.
Christmas In Italy
Experience a unique festive season on our Italian Christmas getaways. On our trips to Lake Garda and Tuscany, celebrate Christmas in another culture as we explore beautifully lit towns, villages, cathedrals, and sacred sites. Italy’s renowned cuisine takes centre stage during Christmas, with traditional dishes adding to the festive charm. Our Italian holidays include Christmas dinners featuring a mix of regional delicacies and international favourites, making this a truly special way to enjoy the magic of the season.
Guided Christmas Holidays
Take the hassle out of the festive season and escape the mayhem of Christmas time. Sample a traditional Italian Christmas dinner in Lake Garda, take a sleigh ride through the Austrian Alps or simply spend your holiday soaking up the sun in Malta. Wherever you choose to go, we have the perfect Christmas holiday for you. We offer holidays to a selection of sunnier spots around Europe, such as Malta, the Algarve and Tenerife. As well as having a relaxing Christmas Day, we’ll also discover the highlights of your chosen destination with a local guide. See the Acropolis of Athens in Greece, explore the UNESCO city of Cordoba in Spain or learn more about the Renaissance with a trip to Florence. Make your 2025 Christmas holiday an unforgettable experience and enjoy celebrating in a new destination with like-minded travellers.
