😩 Sound familiar?

Seven tabs. One spreadsheet. Still no Christmas Market plan?

Does this look familiar? 😩

  • 🗓️Is the market actually open on the day you land?
  • 🕰️Does that cheap flight leave you any time at the stalls?
  • 🚌How long does the airport to the market really take?
  • ✈️And will you make it back for your flight home?

You wanted a Glühwein. Somehow you've given yourself homework. 🍷

✨ Meet Christmas Markets Mode

Flick one switch. We'll do the homework.

Turn on Christmas Markets and every Extreme Day Trip and overnighter is matched to a market for you: the dates, the opening hours, the journey from the airport and your time there. Fewer tabs. More Christmas. 🎄

1

Only trips with proper market time 🎄

An Extreme Day Trip only shows if you get at least 2 hours at a Christmas Market that's open that day. That's after getting through the airport, the journey into town and back, and being back at the airport in good time for your flight home. Anything that doesn't fit, you never see.

From Manchester alone, that's 618 Christmas Market Extreme Day Trips to 41 destinations.

2

The travel maths, already done 🧮

We allow 30 minutes to get through the arrival airport, the researched journey into town and back (typical wait included), and 2 hours back at the airport before your flight. What's left, while the market's open, is your time for the market and the city. No mental arithmetic required.

🎄 Copenhagen from Manchester, a Wednesday in November: take off 07:10, home by 22:40, £52 return. Around 8 hours for Tivoli and the city. 🍷A real trip, priced when we looked. Prices change all the time.
3

Your whole day, planned in one tap 📍

Tap Christmas Market Info for the market's dates, its hours on your day, how to get there from the airport, a photo and the official website. Then Your day lays it all out: a timed plan from take-off at home to touchdown back home.

Copenhagen? The train to København H, then a 4-minute walk to Tivoli. We've already looked it up.

4

Know how sure the dates are 🔍

Dates confirmed by the organisers or official sites, or checked by our team.
Likely or provisional dates, for example when a market has run on the same pattern for the last two seasons.

It's early October and Christmas Markets are confirming their dates right now. As they do, the labels update. Always check the official website before you book.

🗓️ Make a weekend of it

🌙 Overnighters too

Don't leave just as the buzz starts

The best bit of a Christmas Market is often the evening: the lights come on, the Glühwein's flowing and the buzz is only just getting going. So stay the night. Christmas Markets Mode works on our overnighters too, showing which days each market is open and roughly how many hours you'll have while it's open across your whole stay.

  • 🌙 See the market lit up after dark, then do the city properly next morning
  • 🗓️ See which days of your stay each market is open
  • ⏱️ Your market time, worked out across your whole stay

🎄 Christmas Markets Mode

Your Christmas Market Extreme Day Trip (or overnighter) is one search away

Choose your airport. Pick your market. We'll do the timings.

Christmas market dates and hours come from organisers and official tourism sites and can change. Check the official website before you travel, and only book if you're comfortable with the risk that a market may not open on the day. Market times are estimates based on our airport and transfer allowances. Example trips are real trips priced when we looked; prices and availability change all the time.
