Christmas markets in Switzerland

12/12/2019

 
Tooday's lesson is about Christmas markets. I really enjoy the location of those markets. You can find there really interesting presents of gifts for Christmas.  Apart from location and the possibility to get some presents I also enjoy the atmosphere of those places.
