Make for the festive markets of Germany and meander merrily by rail to the winter wonderland of Wernigerode, where timber-framed houses sit in the imposing shadow of the magnificent town hall.
Forage for festive fodder, sample delicious roasted almonds and gulp local glühwein, before delving deep into the region of Harz, with stunning excursions on the Harz Narrow Gauge Railway to snow-sprinkled Brocken and the nature haven of Nordhausen.
If you still have space in your heart, or shopping bags, the inter-rail allows for further travel to Leipzig or Berlin, before going Christmas crazy in Cologne, where there are no less than four markets for further advent adventure. Prices start from £920 pp including return travel by Eurostar to/from Brussels, Inter Rail Pass, Harz Rover Ticket and seven nights‘ accommodation with breakfast.
