Christmas markets by rail: Munich, Vienna, Bratislava

3 Christmas markets, 3 countries, 2 trains. Just pick the right dates 🎄🚆 Bratislava is the stop most people skip, and it's my favourite of the three. 🚆 Stop 1, Munich: Marienplatz, 20 November to 24 December. Closed Sunday 22 November 🚆 Stop 2, Vienna: Rathausplatz, 13 November to 26 December, 10:00 to 22:00. About 4 hours from Munich by railjet 🚆 Stop 3, Bratislava: Main Square, 27 November to 3 January. About an hour from Vienna by regional train The three markets don't open on the same day, so the trip lives or dies on the dates. From 27 November to 23 December all three are open at once. That's your window. On Christmas Eve Munich closes at 14:00 and Vienna at 18:30, so don't plan that day as a market night. 👉 Swipe for the route and the dates side by side. Save this for your trip and send it to who you'd go with. Which stop would you stay longest in? 👇 📷 Nenad Kaevik / Unsplash · Ashwin Chandrasekaran / Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0 · Jorge Franganillo / Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0
