December city break; where to go?

[fiddleydiddleydoo]

Adult DD and me.

Not Copenhagen
Not Amsterdam

We are both happy to walk lots.
We are not looking for anything in particular, just keen to experience another culture and spend time together.

TIA

Seville or Madeira?

Seville

Krakow.

Prague is beautiful

Prague or Seville. Luxembourg also looks really lovely

We're going to Seville for Christmas. We've been before in December and the weather was delightful.

Have you any preference on weather or Christmas themed? A lot of cities in northern or eastern Europe will have Christmas markets in December but are likely to be pretty cold. If you are looking for a more pleasant temperature then somewhere like Seville or Malaga.

Vienna - lots of lovely cafes and galleries.

Athens

Another vote for Prague.

Lincoln
Marrakech
Ljubljana

What are you looking for OP - a popular tourist destination or something off the beaten track (and probably less busy as a result)?

DH and I were in Budapest the 1st week of Dec last year. Hot springs, wandering the city, Buda castle, houses of parliament etc. Several Christmas markets around, but like many places, they had overpriced food/drinks and lots of touristy, Christmas stuff.

We did Prague years ago in very early Spring. Also loved walking about.

We went to Reykjavik one Dec. We did a Golden circle tour on a bus to see the geysir and Gulfoss waterfall. Also saw the northern lights and the blue lagoon. The other days, we walked around the city to see the national museum, penis museum, church and more. It wasn't light till 11am and dark by 3pm, but shops etc were open at normal times. I think we were only there 4 days but really enjoyed it.

If you wanted warmer weather, then I agree Malaga is a good choice. The city itself, not the coastal resorts. I've been several times as had a British friend that lived there. Again, a very easy place to walk about. A memorable day trip was getting the train to see the famous bridge in Ronda.

Gdansk in Poland is lovely. I also enjoyed Vilnius.

Rome. I went in December and it was fabulous

Vienna, Germany, Budapest.

Bruges is lovely at Christmas too ✨

Stockholm - we went in May on a cruise and want to go back! There’s plenty to do and see indoors if the weather is rubbish.
Tallinn - very picturesque

The Hague
Valetta
Madrid
Lisbon

Vienna

Krakow
Budapest

Berlin

Marrakech or Seville for best chance of sun. Also lovely places to wander. Marrakech gets mixed reports on here but I really like it.

Seville for warm
Prague for cold.

Budapest definitely. Don't miss the Szechenyi Baths.
