MT#10 - Christmas Markets in Europe

1 hour 6 minutes

Hear about travel to Christmas Markets in Europe as the Amateur Traveler talks to Justin Barnes of JustinAndCrystal.com about his visit to markets in 32 different cities across 12 countries.

Justin's Core Itinerary Philosophy

Visit 3–5 destinations total, ideally within 4 hours of each other by train.

Base yourself in larger cities and use day trips to nearby towns when possible.

Travel by train with light luggage (backpack style) and stay near train stations or old towns.

Aim for early–mid December, before the final pre-Christmas weekend crowds and before many markets close around Dec 23–24
