Make this festive season truly unforgettable with a magical getaway break this Christmas. Whether you’re dreaming of a winter wonderland, a cosy countryside escape, or a sun-soaked retreat, we have the perfect Christmas breaks to help you celebrate in style.
For those who love the magic of Christmas markets, explore the twinkling stalls of Kraków, Vienna, Prague, Riga, and Switzerland, or soak up the festive atmosphere at Edinburgh’s famous Christmas market. If you prefer a more scenic escape, Christmas in the Highlands offers a charming Scottish retreat, while Christmas in Yorkshire, Oxford, and Bristol & Bath combines elegant accommodations with historical charm.
For a Christmas break in the sun, celebrate the festive season with Christmas in Andalucía, where you can experience Spain’s rich history, Moorish architecture, and festive traditions in beautiful cities.
Alternatively, embrace the cold of the festive season and admire the snowy landscapes of the Austrian Tyrol, or escape to Christmas in the Italian Dolomites, surrounded by stunning Alpine landscapes and charming winter villages. Gift your family with the perfect Christmas break and take a special journey beyond the Arctic Circle to Swedish Lapland, the home of Santa Claus.
Solo travellers can celebrate in great company with a Beatles-themed Christmas in Liverpool and Manchester, a historic escape to Cambridge and Warwick, or a winter wonderland in the Slovenian Alps.
