Christmas German market is a century old tradition and extremely popular with UK visitors. Colorful Christmas markets are held over 35 towns and cities across Germany and are a good opportunity to indulge in some pre-Christmas fun and shopping.
- Berlin – Berlin has quite a few number of Christmas markets. Some are spacious while others are held in a cozier atmosphere. Among all others Gendarmenmarkt is perhaps the most alluring for the locals and the tourists alike. The fair is a veritable treasure trove of innovative and unique decorations, jewelry and artwork.
- Nuremberg – The next in line is the Christmas market in Nuremberg held in a fairy-tale like atmosphere. Visitors from across the globe are allured by the rich variety of Christmas goods that the 200 shops offer for sale. The culinary delights like the gingerbread, sausages, sweet roasted almonds and mulled wine are no less fascinating. The festive cheer shoots up with the visitors browsing through the gift shops.
- Munich – Munich is another hot favorite among Christmas German markets. The 30 metre high Christmas tree lit up with 2500 candles is a spectacle in itself. The best way to soak in the spirit of Christmas is to take a leisurely stroll through the market. You will be charmed, in no time, by the irresistible array of Christmas tree decorations, candles, and craftwork, ceramic, wooden and tin toys. The Bavarian culinary delights like baked apples and roasted nuts are sure to leave your taste buds craving for more.
- Lubeck - The almost fairy-tale presentation of trees and lights will make one wonder whether Christmas has already arrived. Wood and leather goods manufactured locally are traditional and in high demand. But by far the most important item is the marzipan, a candy prepared from almond and sugar. The Iceworld Snow and the Sculpture Festival are the other major highlights.
