There’s something about winter travel that makes you want less noise and more ease. One bag, one card, no mental maths when you are trying to switch currencies abroad. You just want to enjoy your Christmas escape. That’s where Jeton fits in.
With Jeton, you can set up multiple currency accounts for free, keep your balances in different currencies, and choose which one your card spends from. Or let it switch automatically when you land, and if you only want to exchange currencies, that only takes 3 taps too!
Here’s where that freedom actually matters this Christmas. In winter destinations where every detail should feel as seamless as the trip itself. Let’s explore the cities where your Jeton Card transforms Christmas travel into magical memories!
Cities You Should Visit This Christmas with Your Jeton Card
Abisko, Sweden
The Northern Lights look different when you’re not worrying about how to pay for dinner. Abisko is calm, raw, and quietly surreal with blue light, deep snow, and silence that almost hums.
When you’re paying for your cabin or a reindeer safari, Jeton moves straight into Swedish kronor. You can even set it to pull from your SEK account directly, so every payment feels native.

Best Winter Activities in Abisko
Abisko isn’t built for rushing. Everything here slows down, and that’s exactly what makes it unforgettable.
Start with a Northern Lights tour run by the top aurora company in town; they’ll lend you photography gear and show you how to actually capture the sky, not just blur it.
Then there’s dog sledding through frozen valleys, where halfway through you stop for a Fika break with a bonfire, cinnamon bun and coffee in hand, feeling like you’ve stepped out of time.
A visit to a Sámi reindeer ranch brings the human side of the Arctic to life; you feed the reindeer, learn their stories, and see what real northern culture looks like.
Before you leave, spend your last day at the Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi, an easy day trip and the perfect way to end the trip before heading to Kiruna. It’s part art, part architecture, and entirely surreal.
Dresden, Germany
This is not your basic Christmas. It’s loud in the best way: bells, lights, spice, and song. The markets feel like they’ve existed forever. Buy mulled wine, wooden toys, and pastries, all in euros. Jeton pays straight from your EUR account or switches from another balance instantly if that’s what you prefer.
If you want to learn more about how to use Jeton in Germany, here are the guides for you!
Explore Dresden’s baroque charm with a guide, then let yourself drift through the Striezelmarkt, Germany’s oldest Christmas market and still one of its most beautiful. The air smells of roasted almonds and stollen, the city’s famous fruit bread, and every stall feels like a story being retold.
What makes the Striezelmarkt stand out is how alive it feels, with hand-carved wooden pyramids turning slowly, a walk-in candle arch glowing against the cold, and a giant Christmas tree standing proud in the square. It’s not just decoration; it’s tradition done without pretense.
The market opens from late November until Christmas Eve, running daily from morning until night, long enough for you to visit twice, once for the photos and once just to be there.
London, United Kingdom
The capital doesn’t rest in December. Lights everywhere, music in the streets, and that strange mix of chaos and charm only London gets right. Jeton keeps up easily. Your GBP account handles every tap without conversion, and if you hop on a Eurostar later, you can switch your spending currency with one tap in the app.
How to Pay in London as a Tourist?
London runs on contactless. From Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland to the Christmas market by Tower Bridge, almost every stall, café, and ticket gate accepts tap payments. Cash is fading fast, and most locals don’t even carry it anymore.
For visitors, the smartest move is to use a card that spends in pounds without hidden fees or conversion costs. With Jeton, you can open a free GBP account, load your balance, and pay like a local.
Your Jeton Card works across the city on the Underground, at food stalls, or in pubs without currency markups or foreign transaction surprises. London rewards people who move quickly, and Jeton keeps up.
St. Moritz, Switzerland
Luxury has an address and it’s covered in snow. Days start with skiing, end with champagne, and prices don’t hide their confidence. Jeton adapts fast; your CHF account covers your stay without conversion noise, so what you spend is what you see.
St. Moritz, perhaps more than any other European ski resort, is associated with jet-set glamour and a luxury winter lifestyle.
St. Moritz doesn’t try to impress you; it just assumes you’re already impressed. Long linked with jet-set glamour, this Swiss resort town becomes a kind of snow-covered stage during Christmas.
The St. Moritz Christmas market, known locally as Glatschin, opens on 4 December and blends elegance with Alpine charm. There’s an ice-skating rink framed by trees, a small cluster of food and craft stalls, and what locals now call the gastro village—a set of pop-up kitchens serving everything from fondue to champagne by the glass.
The wider Engadine region takes winter seriously, with an ice rink in nearly every village and more ways to ski than you can count. Spend directly from your CHF account with Jeton and skip the conversion games.
Order your fondue, buy your lift pass, and skate under the lights your Jeton Card handles the rest. You can explore more in detail with our Switzerland Payments Guide!
Rovaniemi, Finland — The Ultimate Family Christmas Escape
If there’s one place that still feels like Christmas, it’s Rovaniemi. The air smells clean, snow falls on schedule, and reindeer walk past like they’re part of the scenery because they are.
This is Santa Claus’s official hometown, where the Arctic Circle runs right through the middle of the village. Families come here not just for photos with Santa but for the atmosphere that feels impossible to fake.
Kids can post letters from Santa’s own post office, ride husky sleds through silent forests, and watch the sky in case the Northern Lights decide to appear.
It’s a trip that’s built for memories, not logistics. Jeton makes the practical side invisible. You can pay directly in euros from your account, book activities, buy handmade gifts, or tip guides without thinking about exchange rates or bank delays.
Multiple currency accounts, one card, no friction. Jeton was built for people who cross borders and expect their money to do the same.
Create your free multi-currency account, set up your Jeton Card, and travel like you never have to explain your spending again.
If Finland’s winter magic has you wanting more, Jeton’s Finland guides take you deeper by showing you how to spend easily, switch currencies instantly, and experience the Arctic with clarity:
Vienna, Austria — Why Visit Vienna in December?
Vienna in December feels like the city finally relaxes into itself. The palaces and grand avenues are still there, of course, but the cold softens everything. Lights spill across old façades, the air smells like roasted chestnuts, and violins echo faintly from somewhere you can’t quite see.
The Christmas markets aren’t just decoration, they’re a social ritual. Locals meet at Rathausplatz after work, hands wrapped around mugs of punch, talking about everything except the weather.
Smaller markets like Spittelberg or Karlsplatz feel even more intimate, tucked between cobblestone lanes with stalls selling handmade ceramics and slow-cooked food. Inside cafés, the windows fog over and waiters keep refilling your cup as if you have nowhere better to be.
It’s a city that does winter gracefully. You wander, you listen, you eat too much strudel, and with Jeton you spend like you live there straight from your euro account, no conversions, no hidden fees, just seamless movement through one of Europe’s most beautiful cold months.
