Ok, so it’s officially 12 days till Christmas (eek!) and
if you’re anything like me, then you will have left plans (including buying
presents…) right up until the last minute. So if you find yourself lacking in
Christmas plans and lusting after a Christmas getaway then take a look at these
European cities for a last minute deal.
Copenhagen,
Denmark
Copenhagen is Scandinavia's most vibrant and affordable
capital, although it's small, the people are extremely welcoming and the city is beautiful decorated. The city’s
Tivoli Gardens are transformed annually by half a million lights and thousands
of Christmas trees and form a magnificent centrepiece to your festive
meandering. There are plenty of Christmas markets going on, right up until the
25th – so there’s still time to grab those last minute presents!
New York, USA
It couldn’t not be on the list! The city that never
sleeps inevitably rules the roost when it comes to Christmas decorations and
shop displays (check out Gimbal’s display, it’s always magnificent!). With the
potential for snow, plenty of ice rinks, and more mulled wine than you can
drink, you really can loose track of time around the city.
Lapland, Finland
This magical place is not just for kids! Father Christmas’s
home town is a must for anyone who still believes in the magic of Christmas.
With the Santa Clays Village and Santa Park being the most popular attractions
a t this time of year, make sure you buy your tickets before you book the
flight – otherwise you might be left disappointed. Don’t forget to pack your
thermals and some carrots for the reindeer!
Edinburgh,
Scotland
As you may have already guessed…with Edinburgh being one
of my favourite cities in the world, had to be on the list! Christmas is
certainly done in style up in Scotland, from numerous markets to
Why not enjoy panoramic views of the capital from the top
of the Big Wheel, or spin around on the charming carousel in East Princes
Street Gardens. Oh and why not extend your trip and stay for the world famous Hogmanay
celebration on New Year’s Eve!
Wherever you may end up this Christmas, I wish you a very magical Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous 2016 – speak to you soon!
