MAGICAL FESTIVE MARKETS IT'S TIME FOR A HO-HO-HOLIDAY
A three-night stay at the three-star Centro Hotel Ayun on a room only basis can cost as little as £186 per person. Based on two sharing and flying with Eurowings from Heathrow on December 12.
Tuck into your Bratwurst, raise your Glühwein and get that festive feeling as it is the return of the Christmas markets. Missing out on the festivities last year is the perfect excuse to upgrade your Christmas market fix.
In just a quick flight away, you can be following the warm scent of mulled wine and gingerbread treats around a maze of stalls while picking up enough unique gifts to fill your stockings.
So, don't settle for selection boxes and cups of cocoa in front of the telly this winter, get lost in the moment and experience the wonderland of festivities for yourself.
