Christmas Markerts

any of ye guys every been to one or know of any good ones?

going to bring the girl friend over to one

was thinking about germany/norway/denmark but dont no what city


any adive would be great,

thanks

 

Have heard Berlin is a great place to go for Christmas markets

 

Had a few Mulled Wines in the one in Budapest last year. They sell candles, cos Lehaner bought one for his mother

It wasn't that good to be honest.

 

Belgium is meant to be the most famous in the world and goes on for a couple of weeks..

My mams friend went to the one in prague and she said it was fantastic and got loads of great deals over there..

 

Yeah the one in prague is brilliant. Was over in it a few years back the week before xmas

 

Prague! Love that place

 

Thanks for the feedback lads

ryanair fly to prague yea?

 

There is a German style one in Galway this year.

 

Yep they do...

Last year i got flights to belgium with ryanair for 2 euro return,so keep a eye out for sales with them...

 

€2
cost more for a can of coke on the plane

 

Yep it certaintly would..got loads of 2euro flights last year,places like oslo,belgium and germany,but i was using a visa electron card which meant i was been charged the credit card charge..

Also keep a eye on ryanair site,as they have sales every few weeks,but you have to travel sunday to thursday i think,and when their is a sale you have to get on it asap,as they sell out quickly..

 

Was I the only one opening this thread, expecting a bit more of this...?

 

will wait a week or two before we see them hopefully!

 

I'm already getting countdowns by email... fook this is gonna be a dragged out christmas!! suppose the only thing to do is get into the spirit!

Back to your original question... I've heard the munich markets are supposed to be really impressive, and munichs a great city as well!

 

There sure is!! Granted, after much debate!!

Come west on the M6 in under 2 hours!!

 

Heidelberg Germany (1.5 hrs drive from Frankfurt) has a class Xmas market in early December.

 

I heared the one in brugges is spot on,the trucker was raving about it to me before..

 

I have been to one in Brussels - was nice. Not sure if I'd go there especially for it though.

 

Cant wait to see it open

 

My wife is mad in to the Christmas Markets,

We've been to

Prague - excellent markets, real genuine hand made stuff, not cheap imports like some others - really old city to visit - must see Charles Bridge, it's magic at night. Very cheap food off the beaten track. Got main courses for something like a fiver, you will pay 20 in the market areas

Budapest - good markets here too, bit more scattered, good touristy stuff to do when not at markets - Put up food prices for tourist season and market time

Berlin - good markets - products more of a manufactured look - excellent touristy stuff with German history, berlin wall, brandenburg gate and all that stuff. It was -18 deg c last Christmas here!!

We're going to Vienna this year, they are meant to be the oldest and the best markets in Europe. I hear Burges are good to, was not there for markets, was there one summer, truly amazing place.
