Czechia – The Girl Who Goes

Happy New Year! 🎉 It’s hard to believe we’re only two weeks from the one-year anniversary of our big move to Alicante — I guess time flies when you’re having fun. 2024 was a fantastic year of new friends and new places (and our wedding in Catalonia as well), and I can’t wait to see what 2025 brings. Right now, we’re in Cardiff, Wales, until we head back to Spain for Spanish Christmas. But today, I want to share a bit more about our Eastern Europe Christmas Market trip from last month.

I felt like 10 days (plus one extra day for traveling home) was the perfect amount of time for the three cities we visited: Wroclaw, Poland; Prague, Czechia; and Bratislava, Slovakia. Our trip lasted from December 13-23, which was also a really good time to visit because some of the markets are closed on December 24 and/or 25. So, here’s our exact itinerary if you want to plan your own trip next year! [Read more…]

Just the thought was enough to make me want to come back as we were planning our Christmas market trip!

After a few days visiting the Wroclaw Christmas Market, we made our way to Prague and jumped right in visiting Old Town Square’s Christmas Market, as well as some of the smaller ones around the city.

Here’s what you need to know about the Prague Christmas Markets. [Read more…]
