It’s a magical place to travel which is why New York City is one of the best places to visit during Christmas.

Cologne, Germany, is also a very festive place during Christmas. Cologne’s festivals draw some four million visitors each year. There is a Christmas market where they sell handcrafted gifts, Christmas decorations and festive foods. Nothing embodies old-world yuletide charm like a Christmas market, and nobody takes Christmas markets more seriously than Germany.

Vienna, Austria, is a great place to travel to for Christmas because of the markets, food and lights. Vienna makes visitors forget for a moment the bustle and stress of modern life. Instead, guests are taken back to a simpler age. There are lots to buy and look at in the Christmas markets. Tourists can breathe in the aroma of fried sausages, melted cheese, and goulash soup, the tang of roasted almonds and toffee apples, and the sweet fragrance of countless scented soaps and candles.
