Τα Χριστούγεννα στην Ευρώπη έχουν πάντα κάτι το ξεχωριστό. Από τις παραδοσιακές αγορές της Κεντρικής Ευρώπης μέχρι τις λαμπερές πρωτεύουσες του Βορρά και τις πιο «ζεστές» μεσογειακές πόλεις, η ήπειρος ντύνεται στα γιορτινά και μετατρέπεται σε ένα απέραντο χριστουγεννιάτικο σκηνικό.
Φωτισμένα σοκάκια, παγοδρόμια, στολισμένες πλατείες και μυρωδιές από ζεστό κρασί και γλυκά δημιουργούν εικόνες που μοιάζουν βγαλμένες από παραμύθι. Δεν είναι τυχαίο ότι τα social media κατακλύζονται αυτές τις ημέρες από βίντεο και φωτογραφίες που αποτυπώνουν τη μαγεία των ευρωπαϊκών Χριστουγέννων.
Από τη Βιέννη, το Στρασβούργο και την Πράγα μέχρι το Παρίσι, το Λονδίνο και τη Βουδαπέστη, αλλά και από τη Ρώμη έως τη Λισαβόνα, κάθε πόλη έχει τον δικό της τρόπο να γιορτάζει. Δείτε στα βίντεο που ακολουθούν πώς ζει η Ευρώπη τα Χριστούγεννα και πάρτε ιδέες για το επόμενο γιορτινό σας ταξίδι.

@limitlesssecrets This is Christmas in Prague 🇨🇿🎄🤩 Have you ever been to Prague for Christmas? It’s really magical ✨🥹! But also soooo crowded 🤯 🗓️ The Prague Christmas Markets are open daily from 29 Nov 2025 to 6 Jan 2026 (including Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day). 🎅🏻 Christmas markets locations: -Old Town Square Christmas Market -Wenceslas Square Christmas Market -Namesti Miru Christmas Market -Marianske Namesti Christmas Market -Prague Castle -Republic Square ⏰ What are the opening hours of the Christmas markets in Prague: -Old Town Square Christmas Market: 10am to 10pm -other Christmas markets: 10am to 8pm 🌭🍺 What to eat and drink at the Christmas markets in Prague: -Trdelnik: Chimney cake (although it’s originally from Hungary) -Kolace: circular pastry with sweet fillings/ toppings -Klobasa: Grilled sausages -Fried dumplings -Langos: deep-fried flatbread with toppings -Gingerbread cookies -Medovina: honey wine served warm (local mulled wine) 💰 Is it expensive? Don’t expect anything cheap here. We found Prague rather expensive. The Old Town Square Christmas market was more expensive than smaller ones. 👥 Are the Prague Christmas markets crowded? What’s the best time to visit? Yes, the Old Town gets very crowded and all the markets were busy. Best times: weekday mornings. 🤔 Is it worth the visit? Yes I recommend it! Prague is a gorgeous city and it gets even prettier during Christmas season. But FYI there aren’t many other decorations in the city outside of the Christmas markets.
