Keen to help others find their perfect Christmas market experience, Jackie, who’s from Atlanta but now lives in London, posted descriptions and photographs of each location on her Instagram page, @joujoutravels, and even rated them out of 10. Travel blogger Jackie told MailOnline Travel: ‘Every year, I look forward to seeing all the Christmas Markets in Europe. I really want to explore as many as possible, so I decided to plan the most epic two-week journey by train. I flew into Vienna and took a train all the way back to London where I reside.

‘I travelled 2,700km and spent over 24 hours on trains. ‘Using my Interrail pass, I got unlimited train rides throughout Europe to save money. ‘It even worked on the Belle Epoque vintage train and the Eurostar and cost about €335 [£276/$350] for 10 travel days.’.
