Festive citybreaks at, www.citybreaks-direct.co.uk: New Christmas Markets citybreak packages

Christmas Markets are a popular tourist attraction in many European towns and cities with shoppers and tourists alike. CityBreaks-Direct have responded to consumer demand and created Christmas Market-themed citybreaks, enabling festive shoppers to combine a European citybreak with Christmas shopping.

Features of the themed citybreaks include 2 or 3 night deals with hotels close to the markets, as well as popular citybreak tourist attractions and with accessibility from a number of UK airports, CityBreaks-direct.co.uk have put together some great offers.

European city break popularity in autumn grows as holidaymakers plan for the winter season and Christmas celebrations ahead. Citybreaks in Germany, Austria and Krakow are particularly popular towards the third week of November when the Christmas Markets commence.

Christmas shoppers tend to travel mid-week to avoid busy weekend crowds which enables citybreak travellers to enjoy the atmosphere and culture surrounding the festive markets.

Jon Pearce of www.citybreaks-direct.co.uk said, “We get a lot of city breakers asking when the Christmas Markets begin and which markets we would recommend to visit, so much so, that we’ve decided to dedicate a specialist page on our website of our favourite Christmas Markets in Europe."

Citybreaks-Direct offer cheap deals on the most traditional and popular European Christmas Markets, the Top 10 are:
• Berlin
• Budapest
• Cologne
• Copenhagen
• Hamburg
• Krakow
• Munich
• Prague
• Tallinn
• Vienna
The dedicated webpage gives customers a chance to see where the best markets are, as well as a snippet of information on the destination to help customers find the destination that suits them best.

Jon continues, “We often find that our customers’ book return visits for the following year to visit the same Christmas Market destination year on year, we always aim to exceed customer expectations. Our customer advisers are often complimented on our range of accommodation which we also feel suits the needs of the European Christmas Market city breaker."

Citybreaks-direct aim to offer reasonably priced accommodation and flights in a selection of European cities for customers who enjoy Christmas shopping with a difference.
