There are many beautiful sites and cities in the UK with amazing Christmas markets, but we’ve narrowed it down to top 4 cities for you to enjoy your Christmas break!
Being one of the most popular cities in the world, London had to be a must on the list. One of the things that make London such a great city is how multicultural it is, every corner of the street you turn to, you’ll feel like you’ve traveled to another country.
A few places which really emphasis this are the local markets. There are many, many market stalls all across London. The Southbank Winter Market is one of our favourites, it includes many little festive produce and artisan gifts as well as overlooking our beautiful capital city. Plus, it’s attractions such as the London Eye, Houses of Parliaments, Big Ben and St Pauls are a must see!
Another great city to visit definitely has to be Edinburgh, the heart of Scotland; home to Scotland’s crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny. Edinburgh has been announced the world’s leading festival city, but its Christmas markets are pretty famous too. Edinburgh makes sure to keep their Christmas Markets as traditional as possible, with different crafters, artists and gift shops which will definitely get you into your Christmas spirits. The Christmas Market in East Princes Street definitely has more than a splash of Scottish culture, and is one of the most unique Christmas markets to visit.
The home to Scotland’s Opera, Scottish Ballet and National Theatre of Scotland as well as a thriving music scene, they also are home to an annual Christmas market.
If you’re visiting Glasgow, make sure to visit the Christmas Market in St Enoch Square for a gastronomic treat, delicious food and of course a wide range of festive treats. There are lots of German bars, serving traditional beers and a beautiful German windmill.
Bath
Bath was definitely built as a place of relaxation and has attracted tourists since the Roman Times, thanks to the cities historic roots and stunning Georgian architecture. Obviously, one of the main attractions are the Roman Baths and the modern Thermal Bath Spa which you can bathe in.
