The Christmas Guide

In production

The Christmas Guide is being written

Fourteen cities across Europe and North America, in one book - which markets are worth the trip, which are a day out from somewhere better, and how to string several together by train.

Markets open in the last week of November; most close on 24 December.

🎄 One book, fourteen cities

A Christmas market trip is easy to get slightly wrong and expensive to get properly wrong. The famous square turns out to be forty stalls selling the same candle; the good market two streets away has shut by the time you find it; and the city you flew to closes on the 24th, which is the day you arrive. This is fourteen cities researched properly and written as one continuous read - what each market is actually like, when it opens and when it stops, what a Glühwein and a bratwurst should cost, which pairs are two hours apart by train, and which weekend everybody else has booked.
