9Prague, Czech Republic
Prague is a city that looks like it was plucked from a Christmas card. With its Gothic spires, cobblestone streets, and medieval charm, Prague becomes a fairy-tale destination during the festive season. The city’s Old Town Square hosts one of the best Christmas markets in Europe, complete with a towering Christmas tree, twinkling lights, and live performances. Traditional Czech treats like trdelník (a sweet pastry) and mulled wine warm the crowds as they shop for handcrafted gifts. The view of the Charles Bridge blanketed in snow, with Prague Castle glowing in the distance, is nothing short of magical.
