[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m currrently in London and would not recommend it.  Everything is closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day including public transportation.  It was super hard to find a restaurant for Christmas Day.  I did find something weeks ago and it was a great restaurant and was super special but super super expensive.  Also, so many tourists and so crowded.  It’s not that I don’t like London, it’s actually my favorite city, it just was not what I expected for Christmas.   I recommend Germany which I also visited during Christmas last year because the Christmas markets are so beautiful and even Berlin has one almost every block.  They were festive and full of locals just enjoying their evening vs just a bunch of commercial cheesy venues in London.  Southern Germany looked like a winter wonderland.[/quote]

Agree with PP. We’ve been to Christmas markets in Austria, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. I think the most authentic are the Austrian and German markets with local crafts and food.  The others seem very commercial and pre-packaged. The best one we’ve been to is outside Vienna at Schloss Grafenegg.  [/quote]

Have been to Austria and Germany at Christmastime and can confirm— totally magical.[/quote]
