6 Amsterdam, Netherlands
Photo:While most cities close down most of their cultural hubs at Christmas time, Amsterdam does the opposite. Want to enjoy some holiday cheer but then also have a wander around some of its famous museums? You can!
However, if you are only there for the festivities, then there is still plenty to do. Be sure to check out the awesome Light Festival and the Christmas market, and be sure to dabble in some ice skating throughout the city.
