It’s hard to beat the immensely cheerful atmosphere of Hamburg, and during your stay, there will be a generous amount of time to survey some of the many Christmas markets. A guided tour will take you to the Town Hall and along the pedestrianised streets, bounded with fairy lights and festooned pine trees, before you’ll cruise across the harbour while a local skipper indicates points of interest. To conclude your break, an optional excursion to Lübeck can be enjoyed, which delves into this UNESCO World Heritage Site and its Christmas markets set in Gothic churches and on sprawling squares.

The smell of roast chestnuts and mulled wine wafts by; the sound of Christmas music fills the air; brightly coloured wooden stalls display their wares and everyone’s face is aglow...
