🎄 WINTER MARKETS & FESTIVE CITY BREAKS 🎄
There’s something rather lovely about a European city in December — twinkling lights, Christmas markets, warming drinks, little wooden stalls and plenty of excuses to eat your way around a city! ✨🎄
🇩🇪 BERLIN — from £198pp
📅 6–9 December 2026 | 3 nights
✈️ Direct flights from London Stansted
🏨 Come Inn Berlin Kurfürstendamm Opera
🛏️ Twin Standard room | Room Only
💷 £198pp, including mandatory fees and taxes
The hotel is on Kurfürstendamm, right in the heart of West Berlin, with shops, restaurants and bars nearby. Public transport makes it easy to get around to Berlin's famous sights, including the Brandenburg Gate and Potsdamer Platz.
There's also a breakfast restaurant with a terrace on the sixth floor, giving you somewhere to sit and take in the city before heading out exploring.
And Berlin is a serious Christmas-market contender — TUI highlights around 60 markets across the city, including the festive market around Gendarmenmarkt. ✨
🇳🇱 AMSTERDAM — from £216pp
📅 22–25 November 2026 | 3 nights
✈️ Direct flights from Bristol
🏨 Volkshotel
🛏️ Cabin room | Room Only
💷 £216pp, including mandatory fees and taxes
This one's a little different.
Volkshotel is in Amsterdam's East district, just 50 metres from Wibautstraat metro station, so getting around the city is nice and straightforward.
There's a lively café and cocktail bar, a restaurant on the seventh floor with 360° views over Amsterdam, and — rather wonderfully — a rooftop mini-spa with three hot tubs and a sauna. The River Amstel is just a couple of minutes' walk away.
Amsterdam itself is made for a winter wander, with its canals, narrow streets and atmospheric old buildings — and TUI has a whole selection of Christmas-market city breaks if festive shopping and twinkling lights are on your list. 🎄✨
So… Berlin or Amsterdam? 🤔
One for grand Christmas markets, history and a proper big-city adventure.
The other for canals, cosy streets, great food and a hotel with hot tubs on the roof.
