Step Into Christmas In Old Europe

The festive season has turned Old Europe into a beautiful winter wonderland. Cosy lodges with glowing windows peep out from under the thick blanket of snow covering their roofs. The deep crispy snow also lays on the roads and pavements glistening in the pale winter sunlight. The little Victorian style shops along the main thoroughfare make you feel that you are shopping in days-gone-by when times were gentler than today. The central square boasts an enormous ice rink surrounded by twinkling streetlights where couples and singles can ice skate and have some fun throwing snowball at unsuspecting passers by. There are two ways you can take a tour of the sim, firstly you can hitch a lift in a pretty sleigh. The sleigh takes you up over the rooftops and around the spires of the grand castle and down past all the comfy homes huddled deep into the snow swept valleys. Or if you wish to remain at ground level, you can take to your ice skates which will take you along the frozen river to see all the sights, skates are free by the way! It’s worth trying both of the tours as they are truly breathtaking! Of course you can always walk around the sim to take in the lovely atmosphere, and don't forget to visit the magnificent castle high up on the hill, which is a must!
