Craiova Christmas Market Voted as Third Most Beautiful in Europe

This is not a surprise: Craiova Christmas Market was voted one of the most beautiful in Europe. It is the first time that Craiova has reached the top 3 of the European Best Destinations, the famous travel platform comparing European cities and places.

As the top mentions, Craiova offers the best Christmas in a family atmosphere with an exceptional cultural program, entertainment for young and old, an ice rink, amazing Christmas cottages, and among the most beautiful Christmas lights in Europe. 374,803 tourists from 179 countries voted during this period among 20 candidate cities proposed by European Best Destinations.

All the credit goes to Craiova Municipality: various Christmas events, markets, an ice rink, concerts, creative workshops, and traditional winter food stand in four different places in the city. They are linked together by magical illuminations (over a million led bulbs), making Craiova one of the best Christmas markets in Europe and the best Christmas Lights Destination in Romania.

What is amazing in Craiova are the Christmas cottages, magically painted and originally carved with different characters from fairy tales by the most talented artists from Romania. The city’s creativity and audacity of the whole concept of the Christmas Market transform Craiova into a unique and amazing Christmas destination for everyone, as Best European Destinations mentions.

Budapest Christmas Market is first at the top, while second there is the Gdansk Christmas Market in Poland.

It might not have been voted or ranked in the top, but if you are in Romania, we recommend you visit Bucharest Christmas Markets.
