Ideal for those who appreciate twinkling lights, handmade crafts, and heartwarming seasonal treats, this tour takes you through some of Europe's most spellbinding Christmas markets.

Your yuletide adventure kicks off in Basel, Switzerland’s Christmas hub, renowned for its rich cultural heritage and two remarkable markets – Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz. Meander through cobbled streets adorned with illuminated chalets, gaze at the majestic Christmas tree gracing the cathedral square, and savour traditional Swiss delicacies like raclette, Basler Läckerli, and spiced wine. Next, venture across the border into Alsace, France. This region is celebrated for its distinctive half-timbered houses, storybook villages, and some of the oldest Christmas markets in Europe.
