The World’s Most Festive Cities: The Best Places to Spend Christmas

Snowy days and cuddling up with our loved ones by the fire is fun, but the December period is also a great time for traveling, as you get to see how the rest of the globe celebrates Christmas. Truth be told: you haven’t really seen Christmas lights until you witness the 26 million lights all at once in Colombia. Although they are worthy of a visit at any time of the year, we have compiled a list of the cities we think would be exceptionally magical during the holiday season. As per the best mom lifestyle blogs, from Cape Town to Cologne, German, below are the best places to spend Christmas this year.

1.     Cape Town:

As a professional lifestyle travel blogger, I totally recommend Cape Town in South Africa. You would not do better than Cape Town, if you are looking to escape winter this Christmas. This is because in the Southern Hemisphere, it is summer. Then, you can also visit one (or several) of the South African city’s holiday markets without the burden of wearing a scarf or a coat.

2.     Paris:

    The high spirit of Paris cannot be dampened at Christmas. The city doesn’t stop shining, from the Christmas market at Les Halles to the lights along the Champs-Elysees to some of the most decked-out window displays in the world, lights are everywhere.

    To get you in the spirit, you may want to take in the visual feast that is the ‘Galeries Lafayette Chrsitmas Tree’. For a nice place to stay, you may want to consider ‘The Peninsula Paris’ with its own upscale Christmas market and the pure Belle Epoque luxury.

3.     Cologne, Germany:

    You would not find a better embodiment of old-world yuletide charm than you would find in Cologne. These Germans take the Christmas markets very seriously, with over four million visitors counted in the city each winter. For maximum fun, enjoy the merry sights from the observation deck of ‘Koln Triangle’, a tower directly opposite the Cathedral on the Rhine.

4.     Dublin:

Every lifestyle food blogger recommends this city for its authentic Irish pub crawl. If you wouldn’t mind this sea food, then your December flight should be booked for Dublin, Ireland. You wouldn’t find a better way to warm up on a cold Christmas night than by joining locals for a few pints and some black pudding. Plus, there are enough cozy bars in Dublin to last you through the New Year. Christmas Markets are also a common thing, as well as three lighting ceremonies and extended store hours.

5.     Tokyo:

    The winter Illuminations in Tokyo, with different districts competing with each other to create a stunning display is one thing you wouldn’t want to miss. Bask in the glory of over 100,000 twinkly blue and silver lights at Tokyo Midtown and a massive Baccarat crystal chandelier at Yebisu Garden Place.
