Generally accepted to be one of the, if not the, prettiest Christmas markets in the city, this one takes place at Bryant park and sees vendors from all over the world offering international goods and edibles from out of 150 beautiful glass kiosks. The atmosphere is further enhanced by the ice rink at the heart of the market.
