Where to go in December
It’s the most wonderful time of the year – but what if you dream of getting away from the hustle and bustle of the festive season at home? We asked our well-travelled team to recommend the best places for a December holiday, from the bright lights and supersized trees of Manhattan to the quaint festive markets that line the Rhine in Germany.
Our pick: the best places to visit in December
1. Germany
Warming glühwein, cobbled streets glowing with fairy lights, wooden chalets hawking stollen cake and souvenirs – nowhere does Christmas markets quite like Germany. A river cruise along the Rhine is a great way to see a handful of the finest market towns (including Cologne, Koblenz and Rüdesheim) in one trip.
