Cologne has a total of four Christmas markets around the city, attracting over a million visitors each December. The most prominent of these is the market ' Am Dom' , based on the square facing the towering twin spires of the cathedral, the most popular edifice in Germany. The ' Christkindlmarkt' on the square in front of the Town Hall is Vienna' s traditional Christmas mart. It is one of the best-known and most popular in Europe , with millions of visitors thronging it in Christmas .One of the most famous Christmas markets in Germany is the one held at Nuremberg . Its setting is picturesque, with nearly two hundred shops positioned in the cobbled square on the slope below the Frauenkirche the history of Dresden's Christmas market dates back to 1434, making this Germany's oldest. It is enriched with tradition and locals are very fond of their Striezelmarkt , called so because of the local ' Striezel' or Stollen, a sweet fruitcake baked in the shape of a loaf and covered with icing sugar. Not to be missed is this annual X-Mass mart's Stollen Festival .

In Dresden , a city renowned for its cuisine, it's heartening to find that its Christmas market is an ideal choice for food lovers. Here, the market takes precedence over the Grand-Place , Brussels ' commercial spot, known for its ornately carved guild houses. The centre of tourist attraction in Munich in December is its Marienplatz, located in the background of the majestic neo-gothic town hall and dotted with hundreds of shops in the countdown sale to Christmas. The Czechs celebrate their version of Christmas as well, with the capital hosting many cultural programs, folk dances and songs, concerts and theatre in December. As suiting a city as contemporary as Berlin, the city's central Christmas market has a more modern touch when compared to others in Germany. Europe's oldest amusement park, the Tivoli Gardens , features Copenhagen's annual Christmas market.
