The Rathausplatz market runs from 13 November to 26 December. It opens earlier than Prague’s main markets, making it an option during Türkiye’s November school break. Other Vienna markets have different dates.

Basel’s Christmas market runs from 26 November to 23 December 2026. It can be paired with Strasbourg, but intercity travel changes the cost and pace of a short trip.

The market runs from 27 November to 24 December 2026. The city confirms stalls close on Christmas Eve and are not open on 25 December or through New Year.

The main Old Town and Wenceslas Square markets run from 28 November 2026 to 6 January 2027. They will not be open during the 16–20 November school break.

The carnival runs from 23 January to 9 February 2027 and overlaps Türkiye’s 25 January–5 February school holiday. Not every performance happens each day.

Nice Carnival runs from 9 to 28 February 2027. Build a Riviera trip around your chosen parade, adding Menton’s Lemon Festival on suitable dates.

The Fête du Citron takes place from 13 to 28 February 2027. It overlaps Nice Carnival, but each performance date and admission type must be checked separately.

The official 2027 calendar covers 2–6 June. Distinguish main concert days from opening, closing and side programmes, then match flights to the ticket you actually buy.
