choices are many, but only a few places can offer the charm and tranquility and
the lights that Christmas has to offer. Here I have compiled below, 10 places
that you can visit during Christmas 2019 and have a great time! So, read on
……….
Malaga , Spain
Málaga, located in the south of Spain, is
really heading out on holidays. Besides the Christmas markets, large nativity
scenes and free concerts at Plaza de la Constitución, on December 28, the town
is hosting its annual Verdiales Music Festival. Visitors will observe rival
couples execute elaborate costumes throughout the day and learn various forms
of verdiales, the local flamenco dance. Now where in the States can you get
something like that? That one aspect is really going to get you in the spirit:
the lights along Calle Larios shopping street, illuminated at the end of
November and extended into December.
Prague , Czech Republic
Prague's
Christmas markets are among the best in the world, running a full month, with
locals and travelers passing by for a dose of mulled wine, sticky pastries, and
roasted ham.The main markets take place on the squares of Old Town and
Wenceslas, only five minutes away by foot — and set against the backdrop of
some of the That one thing alone will get you in the spirit: The National
Theater's yearly production of “The Nutcracker”.
Reykjavik , Iceland
In December every year, Reykjavík shines in the roads and stars. Glinting
clusters of Christmas lights light the town during its very long nights; and
the Northern Lights can be seen from the darkest streets of the city on the
clearest evenings. This one thing is really going to get you in the spirit: The
13 Yule Lads, a group of holiday trolls you'll see about town that are, in
local folklore, the equivalent of Santa Claus in Island (and have actually been
around much longer than St. Nick).
Jaisalmer , India
Jaisalmer's Christmas and New Year festivities
are the most thrilling and entertaining festivals conducted in Jaisalmer and
many other sections of Rajasthan with a lot of fun. It's the era between
Christmas and New Year we've all been preparing for the last 12 months. Morning
chills, misty days, trampled leaves, all take back the memories of last year's
celebrations when the community gathered with their dear ones, presents were
shared, new goals were made, new hopes and aspirations filled everybody's heart
with joy. Since Christmas and New Year just around the corner, almost every
nation is in a festive mood.
The roads across town are going to be festively
alight, yes, but the home of Catholicism's seat is an ideal option for people searching
for a more sacrosanct view of Christmas. This one thing will really get you in
the spirit: at the Pantheon Midnight Mass, where you can hear hymns echoing
from the walls of the 1,900-year-old architectural wonder.
Vienna , Austria
During the Christmas season, Vienna practically
sparkles with holiday spirit (the decorations that surround nearly any building
definitely don't hurt). The city is known for its markets, with each year the
series is stealed by the Viennese Christmas Market at City Hall. Between 17
November to 26 December 2018, the plaza comes alive with more than 150 vendors
selling toys and candles and cookies— all, of course, in traditional Austrian
fashion. That one aspect will really get you in the spirit: Christmas Mass at
the Hofburgkapelle (Hofburg Chapel), where you can appreciate the one and only
Vienna Boys Choir's crystalline tones.
If you
want to spend a white Christmas in India then look no further, Manali is the
way to go. You can enjoy hiking, make snowmen, enjoy the scenic ropeway or even
watch snowball fights, thanks to the December snowfall. The nights look
charming due to the contrast created on the one hand by the white snow and on
the other hand by the shimmering of Christmas lights. Try to book hotels in Manali's
upper reaches to avoid the rush of visitors.
Dubai does almost everything in Christmas the
same way that Dubai does — in authentic, over - the-top style. So don't miss
the town's tree lights, including those at FIVE Palm Jumeirah (December 4) and
Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa (December 7). And since no trip to Dubai
without several shopping streets is complete, set aside time to stock up on
treats on one of the Christmas markets in the region. That one aspect will
really get you in the spirit: Atlantis Cirque De Cuisine, The Palm (December
6), a three-hour dining experience that includes food from some of Dubai's best
restaurants— plus, of course, circus performers and elves dancing all around
the festive season.
Quebec City, Canada
Quebec
City is one of North America's oldest cities, and its French colonial design
gives it a distinctly European look. The Old Town's lined roads are filled with
chic stores and tasty bistros, all fantastically lit for the holidays. Just one
aspect will really get you in the Christmas spirit:: the Château Frontenac
toboggan ride (open from mid-December to March), one of the oldest attractions
of the city— and quite the rush. Zoom in frozen tracks overlooking the city on
a wooden sled that hits speeds of up to 45 km / hr.
Edinburgh, Scotland
A
holiday light show includes fireworks illuminating the sky from Edinburgh
Castle to Holyroodhouse Palace in this Scottish gem known for its widespread
arts and theater culture. Bagpipes performing "Amazing Grace" around
the Sir Walter Scott Memorial do much more than carolers. Always wondered where
the Scottish elves gather? From the Grotto of Santa to the Santa wagon, the big
wheel, the double carousel, the helter skelter, and the balloon ride, enter a
complete wonderland. The grinchiest Grinch and coldest Scrooge dancing for joy
will leave for a second in this place. Those courageous enough to tolerate the
heights can get a wonderful view of the city.
