Europe has many wonderful old traditions, and one of them is the Christmas market.
The Christmas market in Ljubljana, Slovenia has made it to the top 10 in Europe. It is because of the many activities taking place there.
Christmas markets became a tradition in German speaking lands and ushered in the four-week church festival of Advent. In nearby Munich, Germany the Christmas market is first mentioned in 1310.
It is traditionally held in the town square and the market has food, drink and seasonal items from open-air stalls accompanied by traditional singing and dancing.
The Festive Market in Ljubljana takes place along the Ljubljanica river but the whole town center is incorporated in a gigantic light experience.
