(at least once - or every year :))

There’s something really special about European Christmas markets. Being from Germany and Austria, our Christmas markets are probably what we miss most during the cozy time of the year. Strolling the markets, tasting all the goodies with a warm hot cocoa or Glühwein in your hand feels too good. The scents, the lights, the atmosphere - that is something you will only experience at European markets.

If you’ve never been to a Christmas market in Europe, you’re seriously missing out. It’s pure holiday magic.

We want people to experience this magic for themselves! We can help you plan your festive itinerary. If you don't just want to experience the big, well-known markets, our team of locals can help you see the smaller, lesser-known markets that locals love - all the magic, without all the crowds. Let’s talk and see if we can help you to plan your unforgettable Christmas trip to Europe.

LLocalz did an amazing job planning our trip to Europe. I am so impressed with the level of detail in the itinerary including the best walking routes based on our hotels! The itinerary is beautiful and had so many practical tips. There are so many cool off the beaten path gems included in this trip. I definitely would not have found them on our own. Highly recommend this service to anyone who wants to travel Europe and have an authentic experience.

Wanda and team organized an amazing ski trip to St. Anton in Austria, including unique experiences like dinner at an alpine retreat with sledding, and a personalized skiing guide. The trip was seamless and we had the best time. Would definitely utilize their expertise in the future and highly recommend them to anyone trying to turn a good trip into a great one.
