A glorious tangle of winding streets and gothic churches, the capital of the Czech Republic has some of the most enchanting Christmas markets in the world – and nothing comes close to Prague Christmas market food.
The city’s largest festive markets are in the Old Town Square, home to a medieval astronomical clock, and the more commercial Wenceslas Square, which is a 10-minute walk away. Czech specialities on offer include trdelník (flame-baked cinnamon cakes), klobasa (sausages), and medovina (honey liquor). The Christmas market with the finest view is up on Hradčanské Square next to Prague Castle, where a handful of rustic stalls overlook the breathtaking Little Quarter where composers Mozart and Beethoven once lived.
The nearest airport to Old Town Square is Prague Václav Havel Airport, which is just a half-hour drive from most of the popular Christmas markets.

Dresden, Germany
Full of glittering lights, mulled wine, craft stalls and the faint smell of gingerbread, Dresden’s Striezelmarkt is another popular German Christmas market. Shoppers have enjoyed the festivities since 1434, when it was a small one-day market the day before Christmas Eve. Now, around 2.5 million people come from all around the world to enjoy the seven markets spread across the city.
Perhaps Dresden’s popularity lies in the fact that all seven of its markets are equally spectacular. Still, the standouts are typically the historic Striezelmarkt, the amazing Medieval Christmas Market, and the stunning market stalls around the iconic Frauenkirche.
Dresden Airport can accommodate all sorts of private aircraft, which is an important consideration for any private jet travel arrangements. It is located approximately five miles away from the city centre. Call one of our team today to book your private aircraft to Dresden.
Tallinn, Estonia
Tallinn, the enchanting capital of Estonia, hosts one of Europe’s most picturesque Christmas markets; so stunning you’d swear you’d stepped into a holiday postcard. Tucked away in the heart of its medieval old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Tallinn Christmas Market illuminates the city with a fairytale glow every year. This market, the origins of which trace back to the 15th century, captures the essence of a traditional Estonian Yuletide.
From late November until early January, Town Hall Square transforms into a winter wonderland. The towering Christmas tree at the centre – a 14-metre-tall spruce – has been a tradition since 1441, and the market stalls, radiating warmth and charm, offer various handcrafted goods, ranging from artisanal candles to cosy knitwear.
The market also features cultural performances showcasing Estonia’s heritage. It’s extremely popular among families — children revel in the chance to meet Santa Claus and share their Christmas wish list with him.
The Tallinn Christmas Market is easily accessible from Tallinn Airport and just a short three-mile drive from the city centre. It promises the ultimate Baltic winter celebration.

Most Christmas markets involve glittering lights, steaming mugs of mulled wine, roasted chestnuts, and artisanal crafts. Add that to the scent of baked potatoes, fresh bread, strudel and candied nuts, and you have the essence of the Christmas markets in Vienna.
Similarly to the German festivities, there are numerous markets across the city, but the main ones are Christkindlmarkt, Belvedere, Schönbrunn, Stephansplatz, and the Altwiener Christkindlmarkt on the Freyung. The latter is notable for its adjoining organic farmers’ market, which offers wonderful specialities from the more rural parts of Austria, including cheese.
