One of the best things about Christmas according to me, is when the markets set up their stalls and you get to walk around in a bliss of Christmas spirit. I've had the opportunity to partake in numerous Christmas Markets over the years, most of those here in Sweden but also some in Germany and Switzerland.
Some of the most sought after Christmas Markets in Europe are in Germany, other of the very fabulous markets are located in London, various parts of Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.
 |
| Prague, Czech Republic - the market's brightly decorated stalls sell wooden toys, handmade jewelry, classic Czech marionettes and plenty of potential for tooth decay :P |
 |
| Regent Street, London - the Christmas shopping season opens in November, when Regent Street ceremoniously switches on its Christmas lights. |
 |
| Munich, Germany - craft stalls surround a glittering 30 meter Christmas tree on the Marienplatz, where you can find visitors munching on sausages and reiber-datschi, gulping glühwein and crunching on Lekbuchen (potato pancakes, mulled wine and gingerbread.) |
 |
| Vienna, Austria - Vienna's Christkindlmarkt (Christmas Market) flings open its stall shutters in mid-November, and three million visitors flock here each year for beeswax candles, wooden toys among other things. |
