10Prague, Czech Republic

Prague’s medieval architecture lends itself perfectly to the festive season. The Old Town Square Christmas Market sits beneath the towering Gothic spires of the Church of Our Lady before Týn, creating a postcard-perfect scene.

Wooden stalls sell traditional Czech pastries like trdelník, and choirs fill the air with carols. Stroll across the Charles Bridge under the glow of holiday lights, or warm up with a mug of honey wine while admiring the massive Christmas tree in the square — one of the most beautiful in Europe.
