Even if you consider yourself something of a Scrooge, it's hard not to admit there's something magical about festive travel. In the run up to Christmas, some of our favourite destinations – such as Budapest, Copenhagen, and Prague – get even more alluring. What you'll find is a true sensory escape: as night falls early, twinkling lights appear; seasonal flavours – the spices of mulled wine, the gentle sweetness of roasted chestnuts – perfume the air. The buzz of local traditions will sweep you into the celebrations. This week's episode of TravelSmart is all about the wonderful Christmas markets you should visit. If you need further inspiration, we've rounded up the best across the UK, as well as the finest in Europe. |
