You might have heard about Vienna, Bonn or Copenhagen when it comes to Christmas markets, but today we offer you two of the most beautiful Christmas markets in the world, both Romanian: Sibiu and Cluj.
Situated in Transylvania, Romania, both Sibiu and Cluj are two of the most beautiful cities to visit throughout the year. On top of that, both were nominated by reputable foreign publications for having among the most beautiful Christmas markets in the world.
European Best Destinations placed Cluj-Napoca Christmas Market on the 8th in a ranking of the European Christmas Markets for this year: “You are set to discover a city that combines the medieval charm of old buildings, stone paved piazzas and narrow little streets with the effervescence of a modern academic, economic and business hub. Old and new, tranquility and dynamism – they come together harmoniously in ClujNapoca, so that each and every one that visits it eventually falls in love with the city.”
In the same time, Sibiu Christmas Market was dedicated an article in New York Times: “In the cobbled old town of Sibiu, an ancient Transylvanian city in the heart of Romania, a small Christmas market is in full swing, with the sweet scent of mulled wine filling the air and a tall spruce, a tiny ice rink and children’s attractions spreading the holiday spirit. While Germany’s Christmas markets — and its spinoffs across Europe — are favorite destinations among travelers, a newer, less well-known market has helped shine a light on this Romanian city, where a small German-speaking community has made its mark since the Middle Ages.“
Besides these two Christmas Markets, we also recommend our readers to visit Bucharest Christmas Market, which this year has succeeded in telling a beautiful story to all its visitors.
