EUROPE IN DECEMBER | Things to do, Christmas Markets, Delicious Food, Best 1 Week Itinerary

Join us as we travel to EUROPE FOR CHRISTMAS! We spend 9 days exploring the BEST CHRISTMAS MARKETS in the cities of BUDAPEST, VIENNA, BRATISLAVA and PRAGUE.
On this episode of Mapping It, we travel to Europe to explore some of the BEST CHRISTMAS MARKETS in Central Europe! Our travel day takes us to BUDAPEST, HUNGARY and we check into a great Airbnb in the center of the city. Then we get out and explore OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS MARKET IN EUROPE!! We try delicious Hungarian foods like LANGOS and CHIMNEY CAKE! This is just the beginning of our adventures through CENTRAL EUROPEAN CHRISTMAS MARKETS!
DAY ONE of our trip has us spending a day EXPLORING BUDAPEST! We hop on the metro and visit MATTHIAS CHURCH. After enjoying the views at FISHERMAN'S BASTION, we head to the CENTRAL MARKET HALL for lunch and TRY DELICIOUS HUNGARIAN FOOD (and some less-delicious Unicum). Back at our Airbnb, we EAT HUNGARIAN DESSERTS. In the evening, we dress up and head to the HUNGARIAN STATE OPERA HOUSE to go to THE BALLET IN BUDAPEST!
DAY TWO of our trip takes us to some of the TOP SIGHTS OF BUDAPEST! We start our day with a German TOUR OF PARLIAMENT and then stop by Street Food Karavan for lunch. After lunch, we meet Judit and hop in a VINTAGE TRABANT to visit MEMENTO PARK and learn some history from a local. In the evening we head back to the city and enjoy some of the BEST VIEWS IN BUDAPEST on the Ferris wheel of Budapest and also from the top of ST STEPHEN'S BASILICA. We get delicious Hungarian food from the CHRISTMAS MARKET for dinner before calling it a night.
DAY THREE of our 9 DAYS IN CENTRAL EUROPE starts at SZECHENYI BATHS in Budapest before we catch a train to Vienna! Our time in Vienna starts by exploring the Christmas market at Maria-Theresa Platz, our FIRST CHRISTMAS MARKET IN VIENNA! Then we head over to the Vienna OPERA HOUSE to see our very first opera!
DAY FOUR of our trip begins at CAFE CENTRAL before we head to the HOFBURG PALACE. We visit lots of Christmas markets including the K.u.K. Christmas Market at Michaelerplatz, the AM HOF market, the ALTWIENER market at Freyung. In the evening we head over to the BELVEDERE PALACE and market, and end the night at the ART ADVENT market at KARLSPLATZ.
DAY FIVE starts at CAFE MOZART and then we head to the SCHONBRUNN PALACE and check out one of our favorite Christmas markets in Vienna! We climb to the top of ST STEPHEN'S CATHEDRAL and explore SPITTELBERG market before going to an advent concert. Our last stop is the BIGGEST CHRISTMAS MARKET IN VIENNA: the RATHAUSPLATZ CHRISTKINDLMARKT and it's epic!
DAY SIX brings us to a new country: SLOVAKIA! We take a DAY TRIP TO BRATISLAVA in December! We eat DELICIOUS SLOVAK FOODS and visit CHRISTMAS MARKETS IN SLOVAKIA! We also climb to the top of the UFO Bridge before taking the train back to Vienna. The perfect day trip from Vienna!
DAY SEVEN is mostly a travel day as we leave Vienna and head to Prague. We give you a tour of our AIRBNB IN PRAGUE and then go to the PRAGUE OPERA!
DAY EIGHT is our first full day in Prague! We get an early start and explore the CHARLES BRIDGE, LENNON WALL, STRAHOV MONASTERY and PRAGUE CASTLE! We try some TRADITIONAL CZECH FOOD at a local pub, and of course we visit the CHRISTMAS MARKETS IN PRAGUE!
DAY NINE is our last day and we do a self-guided walking tour of Prague's JEWISH QUARTER. Afterwards, we take a lunch break at a Christmas market and try some delicious roasted ham before heading to the MUCHA MUSEUM. In the evening, we climb to the top of the OLD TOWN HALL for stunning views over the OLD TOWN SQUARE and the Christmas market.
We hope you enjoy coming along on our adventures!
