Overview
Christmas lights were introduced in the city to brighten up its public spaces and create a festive atmosphere across the capital. Now, in addition to the traditional fairy lights, visitors can delight in fantastic decorations and new displays designed to guide sight-seers around the city whilst highlighting the capital's unique architectural features.
Hundreds of thousands of illuminations of all different kinds, from twinkling fairy lights to colourful sculptures, invite visitors to discover the city's streets and squares, framed each year in a whole new light. And while strolling through the city marvelling at the sights, why not take a break and explore some of the city's Christmas markets?
