Christmas markets

Basel, Montreaux and Alsace

O Christmas market in Basel It is considered one of the largest and most beautiful in Switzerland. The city is decorated during this time, especially the old center with wooden chalets where we can taste various traditional delicacies of the time such as the famous Glühwein (mulled wine flavored with cinnamon and other spices) and Basel Läckerli (sweet biscuit made with ginger) .

Another famous Christmas market in Switzerland, considered many people's favorite, is in the city of Montreal . The magic of Christmas spreads across the city, with the market stretching along the beautiful lakefront. It stands out for its activities for all ages, including visiting Santa's house on Rochers-de-Naye Mountain, a light show, gourmet areas and live music.

The region of Alsace also has a long Christmas tradition. With a historical curiosity: the first Christmas pine tree was recorded in the city of Sélestat. This region also has the custom of making traditional cakes and cookies (bredalas) from this season. The city of Colmar, which calls itself the capital of Christmas, is also decorated and full of stalls selling typical food, hot drinks and decorative items.

Starting in the city of Mainz, passing through Strasbourg, among other cities and ending in Mainnheim. With this cruise, you will be able to visit several different places in one trip, where you can visit monuments, places of cultural interest and take many fun walks.
