8. Budapest, Hungary
Vörösmarty Square in Budapest makes a postcard-worthy setting for a European Christmas market and winter festival. You’ll find plenty of that mulled wine in Hungary, alongside handmade chocolates, honey cakes and other delectable delights, both sweet and savory. You can even pick up a “good luck” garden pixie at this market to take some of the Christmas cheer into the New Year. The 100 pavilions here also sell likes traditional fur hats and gloves plus other unique handicrafts. There’s also an ice rink in the plazza, if you have any energy left after poking around the stalls. This one is open November 13 to January 6.
