Explore Europe's Christmas Markets by Private Jet

Is a Private Jet Charter on your Christmas list?

It seems wrong to be talking about Christmas markets in September.  There is something not quite right about it. It feels like we’re being unfaithful to Mother Nature, and ignoring the feelings of poor old summer who is maybe past her best and ready for the winds of change to take her to pasture for another year…. Guilt trip over, and we are ready to look ahead and explore which markets should be on your Christmas lists. To me a Christmas market epitomises everything that at is good and great about Christmas – an assault on the senses – warm bright lights, cold crisp nights, delicious smells, lots of tat, laughing faces and of course Gluhwein. 

As more and more cities across Europe open up their squares and parks to host these festive extravaganza’s, how do you know which one to visit? To give you a helping hand we have put together a list of the most unusual Christmas markets throughout Europe – perfect for discovering a festive experience like no other.

Floating Christmas Market - Vilshofen an der Donau, Germany

To the east of Bavaria in the sleepy town of Vilshofen an der Donau is home to a unique Christmas Market, which is partially located on a ship. While most of the stalls are located on the picturesque riverbank of the Danube, what makes this market unique is the world's largest wooden nativity scene, which is 20 metres long - is found on board the boat.

Zurcher Christkindlimarkt - Zurich, Switzerland

One of Switzerland's most famous Christmas markets is held in Zurich's main train station. But it's not just travellers and commuters that add to the bustling atmosphere - with around 150 market stalls, the Zurcher Christkindlimarkt is one of the largest indoor Christmas markets in Europe. At almost 50ft high, the clear focal point of the market is the beautifully ornate Christmas tree, which is decorated with around 6,000 crystal ornaments, dazzling thousands of visitors every year.
