Christmas Guides

Is there anything more exciting than going away for Christmas? Of course, when you think of Christmas trips, images of bustling markets, snow capped mountains and marshmallow-topped hot chocolates come to mind. Picture yourself and your family strolling through Vienna, Berlin or Krakow as the snow begins to fall, treating yourself to a Bratwurst before finding a cosy cafe to settle into. Perhaps you’re looking for more adventure in your holiday: with an escape to the Italian Dolomites or Norwegian Fjords you can experience the best that winter has to offer, sliding down slopes or traversing great icy plains, with a celebratory mulled wine to end your day with. If a Christmas holiday closer to home is more your cup of tea, Oxford or Edinburgh are the perfect weekend destinations, with their own markets and quaint streets to traverse, and perhaps even a glimpse of Saint Nicholas for the kids...

For a warmer experience of Christmas, head down to Lake Garda or Lake Como, with views across the bay and gentle, sunny days to ease you into the new year. Or, to forget about the idea of winter entirely, you can travel all the way south to Malta or Cyprus to celebrate the season with a cocktail on the beach. Let all memories of rain and sleet wash away as you peruse cobblestone streets and eat local delicacies.

Whether you’re searching for Santa on a trip to Lapland, or throwing the kids into the pool in Greece, Newmarket is here to offer a hand. Take a look through our Christmas guides to help you make the most of this magical period, and find out everything you need to know about booking your ideal Christmas holiday.
