It is said that Salzburg and Vienna are stunning with all the lightsl around the cities at christmas. Unfortunately I can't confirm it, as I have not been there at that time.

Try visiting plaza mayor in Madrid. It's most popular and famous Christmas market out there in Madrid.

All four cities you've mentioned are beautiful and have their unique charm during the Christmas season.

Budapest - for grand architecture, stunning Christmas markets, and thermal baths.
Madrid - The city is adorned with festive lights, and its main squares, such as Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol, host Christmas markets and events.
Prague - It's a fairy-tale destination during Christmas, with its medieval architecture and charming Christmas markets.
Salzburg - renowned for Baroque architecture and Alpine surroundings

Not too bad man how you been looking forward to a new season of football. Probably most likely to be Prague

Will do bro just like Amsterdam did you go then

Thought about to a have a stay or two in Amsterdam for a long time ago - and a visit in Prague. We are pretty equal in our choice.

All of those cities sound great! I’ve spent the last year studying abroad in Germany so had the opportunity to go to plenty of the Christmas Markets across Germany (Weihnachtsmarkt). Whilst I haven’t been to any of those cities during Christmas I visited Budapest during Easter break, and it was really incredible! As a city it is really accessible to students, both in terms of affordability but also opportunities to engage in the culture and other activities. For example, in Budapest I found one creative way to explore was finding Mihály Kolodko's Mini Statues that are dotted around the city. Not only did it help me see sides of the city I probably wouldn’t have otherwise explored but it was also one of the many free ways to enjoy a big city that has plenty to offer.

As for general advice for all of those places (and with any trips I’ve planned) make sure you’ve got your travel insurance sorted before the date of your departure and that if you’re planning on any day trips (to ski etc) that you get the right insurance to cover this. Signing up to travel alerts for the country you’re visiting is also a helpful way to stay in the loop for any important updates to make sure you stay safe during your travels
