| Christmas trees in Europe |
|
Brussels-based travel organization European Best Destinations recently named The Most Beautiful Christmas Trees in Europe. The Vilnius tree in the Cathedral Square was declared as the leader from the continent’s seventeen most attractive. More than 14 000 travellers from 82 countries voted to select a city in Europe where the most beautiful Christmas tree is expected to be found this year. The good news is that not a single tree was cut down to build Lithuania’s most beautiful Christmas tree. The 27-metre tall metal construction is made up of 6000 branches and over five kilometres of lighting lit by 70,000 light bulbs. It is especially designed to create a completely sustainable Christmas tree. Any actual tree branches used are collected by foresters while carrying out the general maintenance of the forest. Therefore not only trees, but even branches are not cut just for spectacle. These Christmas trees were ranked by European Best Destinations as European top 5: 1. Vilnius, Lithuania, Christmas tree lighting: November 30th, 2019; Holiday Market Open: November 30th, 2019 - January 7th, 2020 2. Prague, Czech Republic, Christmas tree lighting: November 30th, 2019: Holiday Market open: November 30th, 2019 to January 6th, 2020 3. Strasbourg, France, Christmas tree lighting: November 22nd; Holiday Market open: November 22nd to December 30th, 2019 4. Cologne, Germany, Christmas tree lighting: November 25th; Holiday Market open: November 25th to December 23rd, 2019 5. Kyiv, Ukraine, Christmas tree lighting: December 19th, 2019; Holiday Market: December 19th, 2019 to January 13th, 2020 Find out more about Vilnius... |
