Our Top Christmas Courses

1. Christmas in Berlin

Book 4 weeks and get 1 week free!

Berlin is a fantastic city at any time of year, but come Christmas it is transformed into a winter wonderland of over 60 Christmas markets, twinkling lights, fabulous eateries and romantic Christmas spirit. Ride a ferris wheel, go ice skating, watch jugglers and singers and warm up with a gluhwein or two and you can’t help but be swept up in the spirit of things! Best of all, there are many things you can do in Berlin for free!

German Course Offer

Cactus is offering 1 week free when you book a 4-week General German course in Berlin. Learn German in the mornings and spend the afternoons exploring this captivating city. Combine your course with accommodation in a host family to experience a true Berliner’s Christmas, or stay in a residence or apartment for complete independence. Frohe Weihnachten!

2. Christmas in Barcelona

3 weeks for the price of 2!

Another European favourite, Barcelona is a magical place to visit at Christmas, with extravagant Christmas lights at over 400 locations across the city (don’t miss the spectacular light and sound show at Plaça de Catalunya or the beautiful Montjuic Magic Fountain). From Christmas concerts to midnight mass and children’s festivals to nativity scenes, Barcelona can be as traditional as you want it, yet the shopping and nightlife remain second-to-none. Stay for the Three Kings Parade on 5th January, arguably more important than 25th December, as 6th January is when the Three Kings (Tres Reis Mags) arrive loaded with presents for the children. A must-see!

Spanish Course Offer

Cactus is offering 3 weeks for the price of 2 when you book a Spanish General Course in Barcelona between 14th December and 22nd January. There are plenty of accommodation options and regular flights. Feliz Navidad!
