We’ve worked hard all year to find the best prices and coupons for you to find affordable plane tickets. Now, it’s time to take advantage of all that knowledge and celebrate the holiday! Today, we’re bringing you all the greatest Christmas displays in the world. From giant domestic trees to foreign light displays, we hope to brighten your holiday and show you some of the most beautiful tributes to the holiday season in the world.

Austria

One of the coolest things about Europe for people from the United States is that buildings and other structures are older than our whole country. The old buildings easily bring you back to a time without smartphones...until you need directions! Vienna is the Austrian city with the biggest Christmas display. From November 11th-December 26th, Vienna’s 18th century Rathausplatz Christkindlmarkt is lit with incredible lights and full of beautiful Christmas presents. People spend an average of $3.5 million at the market walking around with their delicious hot, mulled wines.

Belgium

Brussels has a beautiful Christmas light show on the Town Hall. Like the displays at Epcot, people wait all around the Town Hall to see what has been conceived by the light show creators each year. Closeby, there are markets as well since all Christmas destinations revolve around shopping. The Christmas market is called Ypres and serves as a holiday site as well as a memorial for soldiers during bombings during World War II. There is a full ice skating rink, carousel, and more mulled wine. Check out this video from the Christmas light show in Belgium:

NYC

You can’t mention Christmas decor without talking about Rockefeller Center! Of course, like the rest it offers a light display, ice skating, and a giant mall underneath the center. It’s a lot less expensive to get there than Belgium or Vienna and it’s a great Christmas tradition. As a Home Alone obsessed girl, Rockefeller Center always puts me in a holiday mood.
