Escorted Christmas Markets Tours

Nothing encapsulates the festive spirit quite like a Christmas market. Weaving through quaint town squares packed with charming wooden stalls and twinkling fairy lights, sipping spiced Glühwein listening to carol singers, the undeniable scents of Christmas lingering in the crisp winter air; sweet waffles, mouth-watering Brätwurst, and freshly roasted chestnuts. Experience the inimitable joy of a Christmas market from the Dickensian celebrations of Yorkshire, to the traditional markets of Germany, and step into a magical world of Christmas cheer.

At Great Rail Journeys we have a wonderful selection of train holidays that guide you to enigmatic destinations, allowing you to sample the culture and authentic flavours. The advantage of a rail holiday is that you not only see fabulous cities and towns, you also get to witness the spectacular scenery which envelops them. Journey among snow-dusted mountains, frozen lakes and fairytale fortresses that make you feel like you have stepped into a real winter wonderland.

Rest assured that our rail journeys are as exhilarating as the Christmas markets themselves, and the sociable environment makes our holidays perfect for solo travellers. We ensure that each passenger feels that they are part of a group, making mealtimes a sociable occasion. Great Rail Journeys will make all of the travel arrangements for you and a professional Tour Manager is on hand throughout your holiday.

During a Christmas markets holiday there will be ample leisure time incorporated into the tour so you have the freedom to explore at your own pace. Perhaps shop for gifts for family back home or simply watch the world go buy in a chic café. Let us treat you this season on an unforgettable break at a Christmas market of your choice.
