European Christmas markets have a history that goes back to the late Middle Ages. It’s hard not to get into a festive mood with hearty, comforting food that warms your body and soul, the cheerful and lively atmosphere in the market squares, and the fairy tale surroundings (often majestic cathedrals or city halls serving as backdrops in a town that seems to have halted in time). Our guest today is a not only a librarian and the amazing virtual assistant and podcast editor of our agency but a savvy well seasoned traveler. This past christmas Heidi and her husband Luis journeyed one more time to soak up, revel in and explore the magic of the Christmas markets of Europe that made her fall in love with the season all over again. In all, she has visited markets in 14 cities spanning 6 countries (photo is Prague, market in Old Town Square).
