We love a good European Christmas market, with all those wooden toys, warm mugs of mulled wine and fine smelling gingerbread treats. The only problem is deciding which one to go to. While our personal favorites would be Germany's Heidelberg markets and Slovakia's Bratislava markets, we're getting bombarded with other suggestions.

The UK Times just put out a list of the 20 best Christmas markets across Europe, confusing us entirely. Some interesting tips here include Switzerland's largest markets in Basel, getting plenty of bratwurst at Germany's famous Nuremberg Christmas markets and the Ljubljana market held right on the river bank in Slovenia.

Meanwhile, BootsnAll has focused on the 5 cosiest Christmas markets in Europe, and our tip for Bratislava gets confirmed here. Markets in Vienna, Prague and Estonia's capital Tallinn also feature, as well as the Piazza Navona Christmas market in Rome, which has the added bonus of laughing witches. There's nothing like combining a good few holiday traditions to make the most of the season.

I add my own vote for Stuttgart, which claims the largest Christmas Market in Germany. And a note on Rome's Piazza Navona market...the witches absolutely cover the market, and are for La Befana, the epiphany; add the popular lumps of sugar coal to the mix and it's one creepy market.
