Dating back to the 15th century, Europe’s Christmas Markets offer unforgettable sights and flavors—twinkling lights, steaming mugs of mulled wine, handcrafted ornaments, and towering Christmas trees that rival the one at Rockefeller Center. Our 2026 & 2027 tours take you to the heart of these traditions with stress-free itineraries and travel advisor-approved experiences.

Christmas Market Tours vs. River Cruises

Prefer to unpack once? A Christmas Market River Cruise is your answer. Wake up in a new city each day as you glide past castles and riverside villages. River cruises offer a first-class, worry-free way to explore Europe’s historic waterways. Or choose a guided land tour to dive deeper into cities like Prague, Vienna, and Budapest—with charming stops in towns like Bratislava along the way. Both options include immersive activities like biking along riverside trails or sipping Glühwein under the stars.

Why Travelers Love Our Christmas Market Tours

  • Celebrate Advent in Europe’s most iconic Christkindlmarkts—an unforgettable bucket-list experience.

  • Explore top-rated markets filled with rare holiday ornaments and artisan gifts you won’t find at home.

  • Sip warm Glühwein and taste authentic seasonal treats like chimney cakes and Lebkuchen.

  • Skate beneath centuries-old architecture in historic market squares—an experience unlike any other.

  • Enjoy immersive, stress-free travel with expert guides and curated itineraries designed for holiday magic.

Gabriella has helped me with reservations for 2 different trips. For both trips, she answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. She is always professional in her customer service, and her pricing of my trips were excellent. Because of this, I will continue to use Atlas for all my future trips.

I wanted to send you this brief note to tell you what a great job Gabriela has done in planning our trips over the last four years. She is efficient, courteous and promptly responds to requests. She goes above and beyond and researches various trip options while trying to get us the best deal. She has saved time and money and makes her clients feel valued and appreciated. Thanks to her, I have not had to haggle with travel and airline companies about trip details or prices. Your company is very lucky to have her as an employee. I wish her continued success with your company.
