The long-awaited December bridge is here, and with it, one of the most popular times to travel. And if it can be at a good price, even better. That's why here is the list of European destinations whose flights for these dates are among the most economical, costing less than an average of 200 euros. Milan tops the list, with round-trip tickets for around 87 euros, followed by Madrid (98 euros for both trips) and London (125 euros).
These are some of the data from the study conducted by the leading travel search engine Kayak, which analyzed the ten places in the Old Continent that are the most economical for the December bridge this year from Spain. To do this, they considered the period between April 1 and October 31, 2025, for trips between December 5 and December 8. They compared it with searches conducted between April 1 and October 31, 2024, for the same period that year.

This year, travelers can find average round-trip flight fares below 200 euros to European destinations, which is a great opportunity for booking a getaway without overspending," says Natalia Diez-Rivas, Kayak's Commercial Director for Europe.
