TRAIN YOURSELF
Those flying in to Prague with the promise
of its famous festive markets would do well
to check out one of the city’s other great
attractions. Kingdom of Railways is a world
as gigantic as it is miniature, with 900m
2
of
railway over two underground levels. Spot
some of the Czech Republic’s finest sights
rendered titchy. Prague Castle, the River
Elbe, Church of Assumption of the Virgin
Mary and a 1:1000 scale model of the capital
will delight kids of many ages.
Fly to Prague.

CHECK OUT THE SUGAR
PLUM FAIRY
A wooden toy comes to life and
fights a load of rodents, before
running off with the daughter of the
house, while humanoid sweets
pirouette in the snow. It’s enough to
make you wonder what Tchaikovsky
was smoking, but there’s no denying
that his Nutcracker ballet makes for
a delicious Christmas treat. The
Royal Opera House’s production will
get a wider audience than ever this
month before as it’s broadcast live
to thousands of cinemas all across
the easyJet network.
