New Year and Christmas market tours are special seasonal tours covering the traditional Christmas markets set up in European and Balkan cities throughout December, light-decorated squares, and New Year celebrations. At Holitera, you can review all New Year-specific tours on a single page and compare them by departure date, duration and visa status.
For guests without a Schengen visa, visa-free Balkan New Year tours (to countries such as Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia) are a good alternative. Those holding a Schengen visa may prefer itineraries that include Central Europe's famous Christmas markets. The visa status is clearly stated on each tour's page.
The New Year week is one of the busiest travel periods of the year. Since flight and hotel capacity is limited, tours fill up early. At Holitera, you can secure your place with a 25% advance payment and complete the remaining amount before the tour date.
All New Year tours are sold with TÜRSAB guarantee (Document No: 14707). The program, included services, optional extras and cancellation-refund conditions are listed on each tour's own page.
