Our Complete Christmas Market Itinerary – Strasbourg, France
Most of our international travel has taken us to Europe and while we still have so much to explore, one major event that we have been looking forward to was experiencing the Christmas Markets. Countries throughout Europe participate in their own traditions and hundreds of towns sparkle for several weeks a year in celebration of the holiday season.We selected Strasbourg, France for our Christmas Market adventure where these markets date back to 1570 making it the oldest in France and one of the oldest in Europe. Lovingly known as the “Capital of Christmas”, Strasbourg welcomes over 3 million people over the holiday season where the markets are open from Thanksgiving to Christmas. There are 12 market sites throughout the city that host over 300 stalls filled with food, crafts, decorations, treats, and more. Strasbourg is perfectly located to extend the trip to other popular Christmas Market destinations as well – it is right next to Germany and the Black Forest and is the start of the Alsace region of France.
