David and Charlotte are back from hosting their annual Christmas Markets tours. This episode features a virtual visit to Germany, Italy, and France during Christmas. We’ve spent the last two weeks dashing through the snow and experiencing Christmas Markets in historic towns, quaint villages, and alpine locations. If you can’t join one of David’s Christmas Markets Tours, this is the next best thing.

Bolzano, Italy
Bolzano is smack dab in the middle of the Dolomite mountains, just south of the Austria border and alpine Brenner Pass. I’ve visited here in the heat of the summer and in the cold of the winter and enjoyed both adventures. Last month, we visited during the Christmas Market season, and even with COVID-19 protocols in place, it was as welcoming as ever. Lots of snow was an extra bonus for us Floridians!
