UK versions are often modelled on Germany's, so why not try this magical option on the continent – with flights and accommodation included in the budget
Germany’s are the most classic. I have loved many of them, but Ravenna Gorge was special. Usually. Christmas markets are in a pretty little town square. Here, in the heart of the Black Forest, you really feel like you’ve landed in a festive backdrop. Crowds in the gorge – a mix of foreign tourists and Germans – are controlled through ticketing. Adult daytime tickets, which come with a free, bookable shuttle bus to the nearest train station, start at just £4.54 , with nighttime tickets costing £6.19 . While most markets in the UK are free to enter, Winter Wonderland also charges much of the time, with adult prices ranging between £5 and £7.50.
