Danube Christmas Market Knit Retreat 2025
Nuremberg, Germany to Budapest, Hungary
November 29 to December 6, 2025
Join me on a fantastic knitting holiday that combines two things I’ve always wanted to experience: sailing down the Danube River and visiting European Christmas Markets!
Beginning in Nuremberg, Germany, home of one of Europe’s oldest Christmas Markets, our ports of call will be Regensburg, and Passau, Germany; Linz and Vienna, Austria; and finishing in Budapest, Hungary, where there are hot-springs in addition to Christmas Markets!
My friend, the amazing Patty Lyons, is my fellow teacher aboard ship along with the lovely yarn shop owners of Skein Sisters in Sydney, Australia, and Espace Tricot in Montreal. We’ll provide loads of learning opportunities as well as critical downtime! Plus, shore excursions; we’ve got lots of exploring to do!
It’s not until 2025 – but it’s good to plan ahead!
