December has arrived. The Christmas atmosphere, makes the cities of Northern Europe dazzle. In London shopping is a must in the glitzy atmosphere of the famous Harrods store. Stockholm ignites over Christmas with markets in Kungstradgarden. For those who choose Milan, Artigiano is go - a grand festival offering handmade gift ideas from all over the world.

You still want the sea and warm weather? Then sail for the south, walk the prestigious promenade in Nice on the French Riviera or in Taormina, Etna and the Giardini Naxos. Or Lanzarote, the beating heart of an exotic Island.
