Last night, the Christmas lights on Grafton Street flickered to life, officially ushering in the festive season. And with so many of us already getting into the Christmas spirit, it’s the perfect time to talk about one of the highlights of this time of year: the magical Christmas markets across Europe!

From historic town squares to sparkling winter wonderlands, we’re taking a look at some of the very best destinations for a festive getaway.

Joining guest host Anna Daly to discuss is Joan Scales, Travel Writer and Broadcaster.
