Hey There Friend,
As the holidays get closer, I’ve been thinking about the kind of trips that stay with you, the ones that remind you travel isn’t about distance, it’s about meaning. And for me, few experiences capture that better than Europe at Christmas.
So I decided to turn one of my dream itineraries into something you can use too
After visiting Germany’s Christmas markets in 2022, I knew I had to go back and do it even bigger and better.
There’s something about Christmas in Europe that never leaves you — the smell of hot mulled wine, the glow of market lights, and that feeling of being part of something timeless.
I planned a two-week road trip through Western Europe in 2023 that was filled with cozy stays, festive food, and twinkling market squares.
The trip never happened that year, but the plan was too good not to share. So here we are... I am sharing this preplanned trip with you!
Now, you can read all about this 14-day road trip plan and even download the exact itinerary and planner I built — complete with routes, hotels, and insider tips— to start dreaming up your own Christmas market adventure.

Wishing you cozy travels and magical markets,
