Big and small cities ostentatiously decked up with colourful lights, majestic Christmas trees, brightly-lit stores, hustle and bustle of the streets and Christmas markets featuring a variety of commodities make for a splendid visual treat.
During Christmas Eve many cities across the world host Christmas Markets that are well-worth a visit and offer a fun-filled experience. The markets spoil visitors of choice for goodies of all budgets and varieties; making sure the festive spirit stays as animated and buoyant as ever.
Piazza Santa Croce is the perfect place to pick up stocking fillers with the Franciscan Basilica in the backdrop of an array of stalls. The annual Christmas Market in Florence usually runs through December 20 in the iconic Piazza Santa Croce.
For the added yuletide vibe, head towards Piazza del Duomo for the Christmas Tree and nativity scene. The Christmas Tree is lit up on December 8 as a part of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Keep an eye for gingerbread and strudel while taking a stroll in the market which is filled with distinct German air.
Franschoek Village Christmas Market in South Africa is one of the world's most popular Christmas markets. It is held in Cape winelands in broad daylight. The market sells goods at affordable prices and offers something for everyone. The market displays pottery, home décor, apparel, handcrafted knick-knacks, shoes and other souvenirs.
Holidaymakers flock to the Franschoek Village Christmas Market to spend summer days under the oak trees in the old church gates, enjoying lip-smacking traditional food with premium wine produced in the Franschhoek surroundings.
