From the last weekend in November, towns and cities all over Europe are magically transformed into Christmas wonderlands. Market stalls festooned with lights, sparkling Christmas trees adorn the main squares, and ice rinks for some winter fun. Soak up those intoxicating aromas of warmed mulled wine, freshly baked cinnamon biscuits and hot roasted chestnuts. Shop for those traditional hand-crafted gifts, local specialities or for that something extra special to take back home. Christmastime has arrived, so spend a few days of the festive season enjoying a taste of Europe.
