Europe, we get it. You’re good at stuff. You’re good at art and wine, beaches and mountains. You have some rather lovely buildings and you make a mean spaghetti carbonara. Unsurprisingly, you’re also great at festivals, many of which revolve around food – tomatoes and cheese, gelato and white truffles – and we’re not complaining. Whether you’re here for the beer, the cheer or you just want to visit Dracula’s castle on the eve of Halloween, we’re your entry to the Old Continent’s best celebrations. And when December rolls round, there’s no more festive a place to be than a snowy German Christmas Market. Fact.
