Darkness and snow create a special magic that northern European cities revel in with markets, skating and wonderful lighting, while in southern Europe the traditional and religious flavours of the season are often to the fore. Remember we’re looking for tips on specific places, hotels, restaurants and activities, so tell us about the great places you’ve stayed at and visited.
Send us your tips via GuardianWitness, with as much detail as you can (including website and prices etc, if possible) in around 100 words.
The best tips will appear in print in next weekend’s Travel section and the winner, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will receive a £200 hotel voucher from UK.hotels.com, allowing you to stay in more than 260,000 places worldwide. Submit your tip by clicking the blue button and using the text tab.
You’re welcome to add a photo if you own the copyright to it – but it’s the text we’ll be judging.
