Four Unique Christmas Markets

There is something nostalgic about an old fashioned, European Christmas Market! The twinkling lights, snow falling, drinking a hot gluhwein, and shopping for handmade gifts. It's a dream for many to experience. 
​
Although all the traditional Christmas Markets are unique in their own way, the location or style of some makes them really stand out. Have you thought of visiting a floating Christmas market, or maybe one in a cave? Read on to see some of the most exciting and unusual ones of all.
