Strasbourg, France
The markets in Strasbourg are known as the "capital of Christmas" and offer a fairytale experience. The Christmas market in Strasbourg is one of the oldest in Europe, which is why it is often referred to as the birthplace of Christmas holidays. A warm atmosphere is conjured by the semi-circular houses, which are decorated with rich decorations and twinkling lights.

Prague, Czech Republic
Prague's Christmas markets in the city center exude the charm of the Old Town. The Old Town Square is the central scene of Christmas celebrations, but when you get cold you can warm up in one of the many pubs in the city center. You definitely shouldn't leave without walking across the beautifully lit and decorated Charles Bridge.
Capture hand-crafted ornaments, intricate wooden toys and the glowing warmth of the city's historic architecture with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5's camera capability to capture every detail. Take a charming selfie from the bridge with the famous Prague Castle in the background, decorated with holiday lights.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Christmas in Copenhagen is a magical experience with festive markets scattered throughout the city, such as the famous Tivoli Gardens Christmas Market and the picturesque Nyhavn Christmas Market. Adorned with twinkling lights, these markets offer an array of festive treats and handmade gifts. Visitors can also enjoy ice skating, traditional Danish holiday food and the warm and cozy atmosphere that makes Copenhagen a winter wonderland during the Christmas season.
The dual screen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 can help you creatively frame and compose shots. Try to catch the vibrant colors of the Nyhavn Christmas Market. Take a selfie with a cup of Danish mulled wine (Gløgg) in your hand against a background of flashing lights.
Nuremberg, Germany
Christmas in Nuremberg is a magical experience, the centerpiece of which is the world-famous Christkindlesmarkt, which takes place in the city's main square, the Hauptmarkt. The square has more than 180 richly decorated stalls selling traditional Bavarian crafts, decorations and delicious treats such as Nuremberg sausages and gingerbread. Visitors can also witness a festive opening ceremony where the Christmas angel Christkind recites the prologue marking the start of the festive season in Nuremberg.
Use Pro mode on the Galaxy Z Flip5 to capture the details of the famous Nuremberg gingerbread. Don't miss a selfie with the famous Plum Men (Zwetschgenmännle) at the Christkindlesmarkt and don't forget to experiment with different angles, lighting and settings on your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 to create stunning and unique shots.
For the most beautiful photos, consider a few more tricks of professional photographers. Capture the lively atmosphere of the markets by photographing people enjoying the festivities. With portrait mode on your phone, you can achieve a beautiful bokeh effect that will make your subjects stand out against the colorful background of Christmas markets. Photograph and shoot during the “golden hour” (shortly after sunrise and before sunset) for soft, warm lighting.
