Christmas is a magical time of the year but this year, like many other things, it will be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The virus may not affect how you spend holidays at home, but what about the famous Christmas markets in European cities?
It’s clear that we won’t get to travel and enjoy the holiday season in the same way we’re used to. One of the most wonderful things about Christmas in Europe is that virtually every city holds a magical Christmas market, and the markets are the most beautiful in big cities like Vienna and Prague. What will things be like this year?
Vienna’s Christas market is scheduled to happen from November 13th to December 26. The organizers are currently trying to make sure all the safety measures can be followed, which means there won’t be any indoor activities and the number of stands and visitors will be smaller.
Some German cities like Köln have canceled their Christmas markets, while others are still hoping to have them. One thing is sure—Christmas markets will look and feel a lot different than in the past years.
