Wondering where to go to really feel the holiday spirit? Perhaps you should consider the places where you can find huge and beautiful Christmas trees.
Where are the 7 most beautiful Christmas trees in the world?
1. Ciudad de Mexico, Mexico
In the run-up to Christmas, Mexicans greet the giant Christmas tree standing in front of the Metropolitan Cathedral every year in the Zocalo square. The Christmas and New Year experience is made all the more pleasant by the nearby skating rink, live music and lights.
2. New York, USA
New York is considered the most lavishly decorated city during the Christmas holidays. The Norwegian spruce, which is located in the Rockefeller Center, usually measures between 20 and 30 meters in height, also has a lot of credit for this. It can boast of a long tradition, as it has been erected in the same place since 1933. A star made of Swarovski crystals awaits you at its top.
3. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
A unique Christmas tree over 80 meters high floats in the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon. It is decorated with more than 3 million lights. Due to a lack of financial resources, the people of Rio de Janeiro could not admire it for the last two years, but that is why it is coming back again in 2018.
4. Paris, France
A beautiful four-story tree can be found in the Paris department store Galeries Lafayette. Every year, the creators surprise customers with a new Christmas decoration theme. The sponsor of this year's Christmas tree, which impresses with its green and gold color combination, is the prestigious watch company Piaget.
5. Gubbio, Italy
The lights on Mount Ingino, which rises above the Italian city of Gubbio, are set up in the shape of a Christmas tree. Last year they were lit by astronaut Paolo Nespoli, who sent the signal from the space station, and in 2014 by the Pope himself.
6. Vilnius, Lithuania
The 27-meter steel structure, covered with 6,000 branches and 5 kilometers of lights, shines in the Old Town of Vilnius. Visitors can walk under the luminous blanket. Thus, they get the feeling that they are inside the Christmas tree.
7. Taipei, Taiwan
The Taipei Christmas Tree stands in front of City Hall and is the main reason why Taipei transforms into Christmasland during the winter months. Despite the fact that Christmas is not a national holiday in Taiwan, the locals enjoy the idyllic decoration without hesitation.
