This festive season, tourists looking to immerse themselves in the festive spirit should head to Geneva, which was awarded best Christmas city break by European Best Destinations in 2025 for its magical approach to celebrating the season.
In the shadow of the Alps, the shores of Lake Geneva are transformed into a winter wonderland with the opening of the Geneva Christmas Market from 19 November to Christmas Eve. Glittering beneath fairy lights that line the Quai du Mont-Blanc, the market is the perfect backdrop for ambling along with a cup of mulled wine keeping mittened hands warm.
