Between Christmas markets, festive lights and the warm atmosphere of big cities in winter, the festive season is one of the best times to travel. Here are 6 destinations that feel extra special at Christmas.

New York
01

New York

The buzz of 5th Avenue window displays, the Rockefeller Center tree, and the Central Park ice rink: New York at Christmas is basically the original that every holiday film draws from.

London
02

London

Oxford Street's lights, the Winter Wonderland markets in Hyde Park, and the cosy, so-British atmosphere of smoky pubs: London is perfect for a cocooning weekend before the holidays.

Switzerland
03

Switzerland

Between Zurich, Basel and alpine villages like Zermatt, Switzerland combines Christmas markets, wooden chalets and breathtaking snowy scenery.

Cologne
04

Cologne

Its Christmas market at the foot of the Gothic cathedral is one of the most impressive in Europe: mulled wine, local crafts, and a guaranteed festive mood.

Strasbourg
05

Strasbourg

France's historic Christmas capital, with illuminated half-timbered houses and its huge tree on Place Kleber: a timeless classic, just hours from Paris.

Paris
06

Paris

Department store windows, the illuminated Champs-Elysees and pop-up Christmas markets: the capital puts on its finest festive dress.
