Personal Favourites
I have visited festivals for the last 20 years, but choosing just a few isn’t easy as they are all charming and fun.
In the dark wintertime, I love the lights and atmosphere of the Christmas Market around Europe, and my favourites are Berlin and Vienna Christmas Markets.
One of my favourite festivals in the summer is the largest European Culture Festival in Frankfurt, “Museumsufer.”
Another one is the food and culture festival in Hannover, Maschsee Lake Festival.
With its many great festivals in Spain, I want to mention Rioja Wine Festival in Logroño – Fiesta de San Mateo and the Carthaginians and Romans Festival in Cartagena.
The Craft Beer Festival in Barcelona – “Fira del Poblenou”, is a good one, and combined with a fantastic city, it’s a great trip.
These are just a few annual cultural festivals across Europe.
