8Strasbourg, France
Strasbourg, located in the Alsace region of France, is often referred to as the “Capital of Christmas.” This charming city is home to one of the oldest Christmas markets in Europe, dating back to 1570. The medieval streets and half-timbered houses are beautifully decorated with lights, and the scent of mulled wine and gingerbread fills the air. The centerpiece of the holiday season is the towering Christmas tree in Place Kléber, surrounded by festive stalls selling handmade crafts, ornaments, and delicious local treats. Strasbourg’s blend of French and German cultures makes it a unique and enchanting destination for Christmas.
