Christmas markets are a long-standing tradition in Europe. We visited 5 countries (Italy, the Vatican, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Spain) to experience the religious, the festive, and the lucky side of Christmas in Europe.
We started in Rome, a city that is not very famous for Christmas markets, but the mild weather is a huge plus. In Vatican City, we attended the lighting ceremony of the Vatican Christmas tree and saw 100 Nativity scenes. Then we moved to Central Europe, where the Christmas market tradition is much stronger. Both in Prague (Czech Republic) and Dresden (Germany), we combined sightseeing with trips to various Christmas markets. And we closed the tour in Spain, where they have the world’s richest Christmas lottery (details in the next video).

► WHO AM I?
I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world… stuff that, for so long, I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!
P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American, and he’s actually camera-shy. That’s why he’s behind the camera most of the time 😉

When can you start thinking about your next Christmas break? NOW! 🤩. We closed our trip to Europe visiting Christmas markets just a few days before Christmas, and then rushed back to spend the holiday season with my family. The editing got delayed, but the family time was so worth it 🥰. Still, the trip was amazing, and we hope this inspires you to visit Europe during the Christmas season in the near future. We also take the chance to send our thoughts and prayers to those affected by the tragedy at the Magdeburg Christmas Market 🙏💔
Be careful, in Europe and especially in Germany, terrorist attacks on Christmas markets are happening more and more often. Most recently in Magdeburg shortly before Christmas. It is no longer safe on Europe's streets.
Wow, what a wonderful experience exploring all the Christmas marketd in Europe. Hope that you guys have had a great time.
In the uk the German market has always come to the uk including Birmingham and I’ve seen it Everytime December arrives

The roasted chestnuts that you tried and didn’t like should be peeled. No wonder you didn’t like them. The shell is not to be eaten.
Your husband look a like Jeremy Irons the actor 🙂

Oh, how nice to see my capital in your video Renata.. You made really great footage of Prague, nicely done.. Bye the way, I dont think your first Mulled wine was wine. I think it was more like apple cider.. Happy New Year both of you
Happy new year and best wishes from Germany! And sorry for the circumstances to pay all in cash – in this country everything needs a bit more time ^^
