Train travel may be popular for those heading to Christmas markets this winter.
Many travel insurance policyholders look forward to this time of year, when they are gearing up to visit a number of picturesque Christmas markets in various parts of the world.
Europe is known for its array of offerings, but this year they are set to be bigger than ever, claims Holidays By Rail general manager Eric Hutchins.
He suggests the so-called boomer generation are known for their love of such attractions and their adult children are increasingly joining them to head on a multi-generational holiday.
"The spectacle of decorated towns, snow covered streets, twinkling lights and traditional delicious food brings out an unequalled festive spirit of camaraderie and bonhomie," Mr Hutchins notes.
And it is particularly nice to experience such offerings along with family and friends, he continues.
Travelling by train can be the perfect way to get around, although this is also suited to many other types of holiday.
According to Mr Hutchins, one of the main draws is that it tends to be much less hassle than flying and far more relaxing, as people do not need to join long security lines or other irritating queues.
Furthermore, individuals get to explore the countryside from ground level as they travel, making the journey extremely scenic.
Some people even decide that they want to visit a certain town or village because they have gained an idea of what it is like thanks to their railway route, Mr Hutchins adds.
Those enjoying a staycation in the UK may well wish to travel by train, as there are plenty of Christmas markets in cities such as Lincoln, Manchester and Birmingham to explore.
