December is the month of Christmas. No matter where you go, the sight of Christmas trees and dazzling lights everywhere is enough to immerse you in this joyful and heartwarming season. Traveling abroad for Christmas also allows you to enjoy the rich festive atmosphere. However, if you’re looking for a particularly memorable or unique Christmas experience, then heading to Munich in Germany, Prague in the Czech Republic, Reykjavik in Iceland, Edinburgh in the UK, Tromsø in Norway, or Vienna in Austria will definitely not disappoint.

In winter, the capital of Bavaria in Germany — Munich — will feature an exceptionally tall Christmas tree in Marienplatz, while weekend Christmas markets attract thousands of tourists. Whether you’re craving a glass of warm mulled wine or some deliciously flavored gingerbread, you’ll find it all here. From now until Christmas Eve, live music performances are also held every evening at 17:30. (Image source／From http://bizdaily.com.sg)

Catch a ballet or opera performance at the Prague State Opera or the National Theatre, then head to Wenceslas Square to soak in the enchanting charm of a European Christmas market. This culturally rich foreign Christmas experience is sure to be unforgettable. (Image source／From http://www.internationalteflacademy.com)

 

Visiting Iceland, which faces Greenland — the hometown of Santa Claus — across the strait, the mere few hours of daylight each day and the magical sight of the northern lights flowing and shimmering in the night sky are already deeply impressive. In addition, Iceland’s famous “13 Yule Lads” appear 13 days before Christmas Eve, offering visitors a Christmas experience unlike any other. (Image source／From http://christmas.visitreykjavik.is)

In Edinburgh, brimming with theatrical and artistic energy, Christmas brings spectacular holiday fireworks that light up the night sky from Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Palace. The sound of “Amazing Grace,” played on the unique tones of the bagpipes, transports people into a romantic Christmas atmosphere. (Image source／From http://www.glenorahotel.co.uk)
