Christmas market trips in Europe, 2026

€119 per person with a cabin bag buys 3 flights through 4 countries, a Christmas market at every stop: from Milan on Thu 10 Dec. That trip's oldest price was seen 5 days ago and may be higher now. Each trip below leaves between Mon 16 Nov and Sun 20 Dec from anywhere in Europe, and every place on it has its Christmas market open the day you land and the day after. One city per country, 2–4 nights in each, non-stop flights only. The start doesn't count as a stop. Updated every night.

Plan your own Christmas market trip

Where do you start?

Type a city or a country, or pick “Anywhere in Europe” for the cheapest start. From Canada or the US, type your home airport (e.g. Calgary or BOS): trips start with a flight from the nearest of 13 big airports there (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and more), and the budget covers it.

Then fly on toFrom Vancouver, Los Angeles or San Francisco, or an airport near them: a few places in Europe, one long flight on to Southeast Asia, a few places there, and home. Three long-haul tickets, all in the budget.
