Europe tours in December 2024

... to visit Europe. Prefer snow over sand? Or sipping mulled wine in centuries-old squares over stuffy weather and long queues? Then December ticks all the boxes. Not to mention the cinnamon-scented Christmas markets dotted over the continent. Go north to zip across Lapland on a dog sled or catch a glimpse of the northern lights in Iceland. Or head south to Spain or Portugal, where slightly warmer temperatures, tapas, and seasonal delights await. We can hear those sleigh bells jingling from here.
