1 Vienna

Visit the popular Christkindlmarkt, the Christmas illumination and the Ice Dream in the Rathauspark during advent season and shop ‘til you drop! You’ll find fab quality and true craftsmanship. Indulge a little time for yourself and unwind while international and Austrian choirs perform in the impressive ballroom at the Viennese town hall which you can reach by the entrance at the Lichtenfelsgasse. Breathtaking!

2 New York

Decorations, lights and window displays are up by late November so go now for a true hit of Christmas. Hosted in the iconic Grand Central train station, the Grand Central Holiday Fair is the only seasonal market in the city that indoors. Still don’t fancy braving New York’s icy winter? Blooming dales is conveniently located on 59th and Lexington, which means if you choose the right subway exit, you don’t even need to go outside. A New York City Attraction Pass is a must have.

3 London
