Berlitz recommends Europe"s top Christmas markets by Cheap Flights Booker UK

Travellers planning to visit some Christmas markets in Europe this year have been offered some recommendations by Berlitz Publishing.

Clare Peel, the company"s new development editor, pointed out that the continent is home to a "tantalising array" of festive fairs, which present an "enviable dilemma for the globe-trotting seasonal shopper".

People struggling to decide which destination to visit can consider the features of different events to assess which one is the most suitable.

"For the traditional Germanic Yuletide market, Cologne and Vienna are hard to beat," Ms Peel said. "Prague"s Christmas market is a magical choice for anyone with children, as it includes a petting zoo with sheep, goats and even a llama, while the one in Budapest [is] advertised this year as "the biggest free entry outdoor event of the winter season".

"The famous Christmas market in Brussels is enduringly popular with foodies, and an illuminated big wheel and ice-skating rink add to the appeal."

Barcelona"s Fira de Santa Llucia was recommended for people who want something "traditional with a twist", while the UK cities of London and Leeds will be hosting their own continental markets this year.
