The Christmas Markets which are also called colloquially in parts of Europe as “the Christmas stalls” are becoming more common in other European countries. But the most brilliant and beautiful one, is that of Ireland! The truth is that this is a long tradition in much of central and northern Europe. In them, we can find a little of everything, from small attractions, craft gifts, Christmas decorations and a variety of food and drink. It’s the perfect plan for a walk on Sunday afternoon with friends, buy some gifts of kings and enjoy the holiday decorations.
Here you have all the information on the main Christmas markets in Ireland, time and place of location. While enjoying the Christmas Market you can also take advantage of a ferry trip on one of the Irish ferry routes. Yes, always equipped with scarf and hat!
