Esslingen Medieval Market and Christmas Market (Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Swabian town of Esslingen near Stuttgart, there has been a medieval market in addition to the conventional Christmas market since 1998, where you can immerse yourself in the world of the Middle Ages in the historic old town with its more than 200 half-timbered houses. Here, the craftsmanship of old guilds, such as those of the pewterers, felters, blacksmiths, spoon carvers, broom makers or scissor grinders, comes to life again with all kinds of hands-on activities for children and adults. Jugglers, magicians, musicians and fire-eaters in medieval costumes will provide entertainment. There are 200 stalls and a varied supporting program such as staff fencing course, bookbinding, medieval speaking, smoking, tinder or garment workshop. Word has spread about the market, which now attracts over a million visitors a year from Germany and abroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children's dreams come true at the hands-on circus, the puppet and shadow theater, fairy tales and the world's smallest hand-operated Ferris wheel. In the bakery the little ones can bake cookies, the older ones take part in the archery tournament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the <strong>market square<\/strong> and on <strong>Postmichelbrunnen<\/strong> There are stalls selling mulled wine, punch, confectionery and hearty Swabian delicacies such as Schupfnudeln with sauerkraut. And of course there are also Christmas decorations, knitwear and handicrafts to buy for every taste and budget.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its atmospheric ambience, the Esslingen Christmas market is certainly one of the most beautiful in Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image aligncenter uagb-block-47c9c326 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/esslinger-mittelaltermarkt.jpg \" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/esslinger-mittelaltermarkt.jpg\" alt=\"Esslingen Medieval Market and Christmas Market in the evening - Town Hall Square with Old Town Hall, in front of it the illuminated Christmas tree and market stalls - angiestravelroutes.com\" class=\"uag-image-7446\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">The Esslingen Medieval Market and Christmas Market is one of the most popular markets <br>Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg and beyond.

Regensburg: Romantic Christmas Market at Thurn and Taxis Palace (Bavaria)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The former monastery of St. Emmeram - today Thurn and Taxis Palace - lends the most romantic Christmas market in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/en\/unesco-world-heritage-sites-germany\/#UN-Altstadt-Regensburg\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/unesco-welterbe-deutschland\/#UN-Altstadt-Regensburg\">World Heritage City Regensburg<\/a><\/strong> a very special historical charm. For many, this Christmas market is the most beautiful in Germany - or at least in Bavaria (even if the people of Nuremberg and Rothenburg don't like to hear that!). In addition, the princely ambience with its location in the magnificent courtyards and gardens of a real palace also makes it a rare highlight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the center of the Christmas village of over 130 lovingly decorated wooden houses in the palace courtyard stands the imposing, festively decorated Christmas tree. Countless candles, lanterns and torches bathe the Christmas market in an atmospheric light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Romantic Christmas Market at Thurn und Taxis Palace is known for its high-class cultural program. Here you can enjoy live music, choir performances and theater performances. With special attractions such as the alpaca enclosure and the \"Children's Magic Forest\" with nostalgic carousels, a steam locomotive and a Punch and Judy show, little market visitors can shorten the wait for the Christ Child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Princely gardens<\/strong> are open for visitors only during Advent <strong>from Thursday to Sunday<\/strong> . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treat yourself also to one or the other Bavarian delicacy like the \"Altoberpf\u00e4lzer Suppe im Brotlaib\" (soup from the Altoberpfalz region in a loaf of bread) or a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Regensburger_Wurst\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Regensburger_W%C3%BCrstchen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"Regensburg Knackersemmel with Everything\"<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:\u00a0<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/en\/most-beautiful-german-cities\/#Regensburg\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/schoenste-staedte-deutschland\/#Regensburg\"><strong>Regensburg is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany<\/strong><\/a> with an intact medieval town center.

Rothenburg Reiterlesmarkt (Bavaria)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The medieval town center of Rothenburg ob der Tauber provides the perfect setting for one of Germany's most popular Christmas markets. When I was there, there was even a little snow. It doesn't get more romantic than that! Rothenburg is a small town and the Christmas market is accordingly much smaller than the Christmas markets in the big cities of Nuremberg, Frankfurt and Heidelberg. But it is very atmospheric.

Stuttgart Christmas Market (Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stuttgart's Christmas market is one of the largest and oldest in all of Europe - it was first mentioned in a document in 1692. At the end of the 18th century, the original cattle market developed into a kind of fair with tightrope walkers, magicians, jugglers and even circus performances with dancing bears, elephants and tigers. As early as 1850, about 1,200 merchants supplied the market, which attracted visitors from far and wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even during the Second World War, the Christmas market was still held annually. In the post-war years, due to the lack of new merchandise, the merchants sold their leftover stock from pre-war times in front of the burnt-out ruins of the Old Castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1970s, the city began using spruced-up stalls and effective marketing to attract tourists to Stuttgart at Christmas market time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image aligncenter uagb-block-756b3463 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/weihnachtsmarkt-stuttgart-altes-schloss.jpg \" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/weihnachtsmarkt-stuttgart-altes-schloss.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas market Stuttgart Altes Schloss - hut with lushly decorated roof including a Christmas pyramid against the background of the Old Castle - angiestravelroutes.com\" class=\"uag-image-7434\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">In front of the Old Castle a stall with Christmas decorations <br>from the Ore Mountains has their regular place. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>About 280 stalls will be set up in the large squares of the city center - Schlossplatz, Schillerplatz and Marktplatz - and in the alleys. The Schlossplatz with the New Palace and the K\u00f6nigsbau, the Schillerplatz with the Collegiate Church and the Old Palace form a magnificent setting for the popular Christmas market. The special thing about Stuttgart's Christmas market is that the roofs of the stalls are elaborately decorated. There are fairy tale scenes, towns of the region or their sights in miniature, and winter landscapes. Every year the most beautiful stall is awarded a prize. For children there is a nostalgic carousel, a mini steam locomotive to ride, a children's bakery and all kinds of hands-on activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out in my article about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/en\/most-beautiful-german-cities\/#13_Stuttgart_%E2%80%93_Zwischen_Weltstadtflair_Kultur_und_Weinbergen\">The Most Beautiful Cities in Germany<\/a><\/strong>which sights make Stuttgart an interesting city trip destination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-48bad3a0 alignwide uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#bc9c22\">Christmas Market Stuttgart Info<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opening hours: <\/strong>Up-to-date information is available on the website of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuttgarter-weihnachtsmarkt.de\/de\/home\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.stuttgarter-weihnachtsmarkt.de\/de\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stuttgart Christmas Market<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mobility:<\/strong> Information about Park &amp; Ride parking lots, public transportation and how to get there can be found at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuttgart-tourist.de\/anreise-und-mobilitaet-in-stuttgart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stuttgart-tourist.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-0c5ed42f uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-left-title uagb-infobox-left uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-left-title-image\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h4 class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Recommended accommodation in Stuttgart<\/h4><\/div><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> Because of the huge permanent construction site Stuttgart 21, I would not recommend any of the hotels (not even the luxury hotels) near the train station at the moment.<br><br><strong>Fair:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/expedia.com\/affiliates\/stuttgart-hotels-premier-inn-stuttgart-city-centre.8kqkTHu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\">Premier Inn Stuttgart City Centre<\/a><\/strong>*<br>A modern, new hotel right next to the shopping center&nbsp;<strong>Milaneo<\/strong>&nbsp;and the subway station&nbsp;<strong>Budapest Square<\/strong>.

Dresden Striezelmarkt (Saxony)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dresden Striezelmarkt is the oldest Christmas market in Germany confirmed by a certificate and has always been held in Advent on the Altmarkt since 1434. It is one of the most popular Christmas markets in Germany and known throughout the world. Incidentally, the name Striezelmarkt comes from the Middle High German word for Stollen (Striezel), the famous Dresden Christmas pastry made of yeast dough. A highlight of the Striezelmarkt is the Stollen Festival, which takes place on the second weekend of Advent. The highlight of the festival is the cutting of the giant Stollen, which is baked on a historic wood-fired oven and cut by a master baker from Dresden. This tradition dates back to Augustus the Strong, who in 1730, on the occasion of the Zelthainer Lustlager - the most magnificent baroque festival of all time - had a master baker from Dresden and 60 baker's servants bake a Stollen weighing 1,800 kg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Striezelmarkt attracts with other superlatives, such as the world's largest, 14.61-meter-high Erzgebirge step pyramid, the probably world's largest walk-in candle arch and a daily Christmas cultural program for young and old. The lovingly and individually designed stalls offer a wide range of products, from handicrafts from the Ore Mountains to Saxon delicacies such as Dresden Stollen, Kr\u00e4ppelchen and Pulsnitz gingerbread. The historic Ferris wheel may be small, but it's worth a ride even for adults - because you get a great view of the entire Dresden Christmas Market, which is especially impressive with the festive lighting in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image aligncenter uagb-block-fb8972e0 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/striezelmarkt-dresden.jpg \" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/striezelmarkt-dresden.jpg\" alt=\"Altmarkt Dresden in snowfall in the evening with Christmas huts, Christmas tree and Christmas pyramid.\" class=\"uag-image-7412\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">When it snows, the romance at the Striezelmarkt is perfect! - \u00a9Tatiana Dyuvbanova via Canva.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, not only the Striezelmarkt on the Altmarkt, but also the other Christmas markets in Dresden - such as the <strong>Medieval Market in the castle<\/strong>, <strong>the Christmas market on Neumarkt,<\/strong> and <strong>medieval Christmas market in the stable yard<\/strong> - are worth a visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During your visit to the Christmas market, you can also discover Dresden's many sights, which I described in my article on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/en\/most-beautiful-german-cities\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/schoenste-staedte-deutschland\/\">The Most Beautiful Cities in Germany<\/a><\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-4455198f alignwide uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#bc9c22\">Dresden Striezelmarkt Info<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opening hours: <\/strong>Up-to-date information is available on the website of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/striezelmarkt.dresden.de\/de\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/striezelmarkt.dresden.de\/de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dresden Striezelmarkt<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mobility:<\/strong> Information about parking and public transport in Erfurt can be found at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dresden.de\/de\/tourismus\/information\/anreise-verkehr.php\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.dresden.de\/de\/tourismus\/information\/anreise-verkehr-hotelleitsystem.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dresden.de<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-15755c8c uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-left-title uagb-infobox-left uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-left-title-image\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h4 class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Recommended accommodation in Dresden<\/h4><\/div><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\"><strong>Fair:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/expedia.com\/affiliates\/dresden-hotels-motel-one-dresden-am-zwinger.gl04fZr\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/expedia.com\/affiliates\/dresden-hotels-motel-one-dresden-am-zwinger.gl04fZr\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\">Motel One Dresden am Zwinger<\/a><\/strong>*<br>Stylish accommodation at a low price - directly opposite the Zwinger.

Offshoots of the Christmas market can also be found in the rest of downtown Erfurt and extend over the fish market, the castle bridge, the Anger to Willy-Brandt-Platz. The magnificent patrician houses and reconstructed half-timbered houses in the winding alleys provide a picturesque setting for the state capital's Christmas market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The attractions of the Erfurt Christmas Market include the twelve-meter-high Erzgebirge Christmas pyramid, the approximately 20-meter-high festively decorated Christmas tree on the Domplatz, and the Ferris wheel, from which you have a magnificent view over the Christmas market and the historic city center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image aligncenter uagb-block-74d8b1a0 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/weihnachtsmarkt-erfurt-domplatz-2023.jpg ,https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/weihnachtsmarkt-erfurt-domplatz-2023.jpg 780w, https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/weihnachtsmarkt-erfurt-domplatz-2023.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/weihnachtsmarkt-erfurt-domplatz-2023.jpg\" alt=\"Erfurt Christmas Market - Cathedral Square with decorated Christmas huts, the illuminated cathedral and the church of St. Severi - angiestravelroutes.com\" class=\"uag-image-8232\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">Erfurt's Cathedral Square with St. Mary's Cathedral and St. Severi Church is the perfect location for one of Germany's most beautiful Christmas markets. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In total, in over 200 wooden houses culinary specialties, handicrafts and Christmas decorations are being offered.

Frankfurt Christmas Market (Hesse)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Already since 1498 a \"Christkindchesmarkt\" was held in Frankfurt. This makes the Frankfurt Christmas market not only one of the oldest and largest in Germany, but it also offers a very special atmosphere in front of the banking district's skyline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The heart of Frankfurt's Christmas market is the R\u00f6merberg, surrounded by historic half-timbered houses and the R\u00f6mer, the medieval town hall. The more than 200 festively decorated stalls extend to the banks of the Main river, Friedrich-Stoltze-Platz (\"Pink Christmas\"\/\"Rosa Weihnacht\") of the gay community) and Hauptwache. Handmade gifts, Christmas decorations and culinary delicacies from all over the world are offered. The landmark of the market is the Christmas tree decorated with 4900 lights in front of the R\u00f6mer, which is given a name every year. In 2022, for example, the Christmas tree was called \"Manni\", the short form of the Alemannic first name Manfred, which means \"man of peace\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image aligncenter uagb-block-2f4b44db wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frankfurt-roemer-weihnachtsbaum.jpg \" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frankfurt-roemer-weihnachtsbaum.jpg\" alt=\"Frankfurt Christmas Market on R\u00f6merberg - City Hall (R\u00f6mer), in front of it the Christmas tree and some Christmas market stalls - angiestravelroutes.com\" class=\"uag-image-7452\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">Frankfurt's R\u00f6mer with \"Manni\", the Christmas tree of 2022. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Typical Frankfurt Christmas market specialties include Bethm\u00e4nnchen, a marzipan almond pastry, hot apple wine and Quetschem\u00e4nnchen (little men made of dried plums and nuts held together with a wire).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, Frankfurt is also a city worth seeing away from the R\u00f6merberg. The St\u00e4del Museum and the Schirn Kunsthalle are among the most important art museums in Europe. The German Romanticism Museum, which opened in 2021, is connected to the Goethe House in Grosser Hirschgraben - where Goethe spent his childhood and most of his youth until he moved to Weimar in 1775 - and its architecture alone is impressive. Paulskirche, north of the R\u00f6merberg, is somehow the cradle of German democracy - the first German National Assembly met here in 1848\/49. Today, the Goethe Prize of the City of Frankfurt and the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, among others, are awarded here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes the Frankfurt Christmas Market so special is the successful combination of tradition and modernity. Here, visitors from all over the world meet and experience the Advent season in a city that is proud of its history, but at the same time is always breaking new ground. The Frankfurt Christmas Market is thus not only a place of celebration, but also a living symbol of the diversity and cultural openness of this fascinating city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-7314e9c9 alignwide uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#bc9c22\">Frankfurt Christmas Market Info<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opening hours: <\/strong>Up-to-date information is available on the website of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankfurt-tourismus.de\/en\/Discover-Experience\/Festivals-Events\/frankfurt-christmas-market\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.frankfurt-tourismus.de\/Entdecken-und-Erleben\/Feste-Veranstaltungen\/frankfurter-weihnachtsmarkt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Frankfurt Christmas Market<\/a><\/strong>.<br><strong>Mobility:<\/strong> Information about parking and public transport in Erfurt can be found at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankfurt-tourismus.de\/en\/Information-Planning\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.frankfurt-tourismus.de\/Informieren-Planen\/Anreise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">frankfurt-tourism.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-14b54800 uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-left-title uagb-infobox-left uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-left-title-image\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h4 class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Recommended accommodation in Frankfurt am Main<\/h4><\/div><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\"><strong>Luxurious: <a href=\"https:\/\/expedia.com\/affiliates\/frankfurt-hotels-jumeirah-frankfurt.Opu8XHW\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/expedia.com\/affiliates\/frankfurt-hotels-jumeirah-frankfurt.Opu8XHW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\">JW Marriott Hotel Frankfurt<\/a><\/strong>* First-class hotel in an equally first-class location.

Leipzig Christmas Market (Saxony)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The history of the Leipzig Christmas Market dates back to the 15th century. This makes it one of the oldest Christmas markets in Germany and, with over two million visitors annually, also one of the largest. Its centerpiece is the historic market square, where the Christmas tree decorated with 2,300 lights and the stage are located. On the balcony of the Old Town Hall, the tower winders play daily at 6 pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between Marktplatz and Augustusplatz, 250 festively decorated stalls offer handicraft treasures, delicious treats and handmade Christmas decorations. The market is known for its high-class supporting program, e.g. performances by the world-famous St. Thomas Boys Choir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image aligncenter uagb-block-4332acef wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leipziger-weihnachtsmarkt.jpg \" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leipziger-weihnachtsmarkt.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas market Leipzig in the evening - Christmas market stalls with red and white striped roofs in front of the front of the Renaissance town hall, in the background the &quot;Uniriese&quot; - angiestravelroutes.com\" class=\"uag-image-7469\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">The market square in front of the Old Town Hall - one of the most important German secular buildings of the Renaissance - is the center of Leipzig's Christmas market. <br>- \u00a9TommL@Getty Images Signature via Canva.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The market offers several areas, including the popular historical market on Naschmarkt in front of the Alte Handelsb\u00f6rse (Old Stock Exchange), the eight-meter high Erzgebirge Christmas pyramid in the Nikolaikirchhof, as well as the Finnish village, the South Tyrolean village and the fairytale forest for children on Augustusplatz. On Augustusplatz you can experience the Leipzig Christmas market from a bird's eye view in the Ferris wheel. In Salzg\u00e4sschen, a multi-storey carousel based on a historical model provides a nostalgic flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the special attractions of the Leipzig Christmas market is the Erzgebirge miners' parade, which takes place every two years. Seven miners' bands with 265 musicians and 370 uniform wearers parade through the streets of Leipzig playing Erzgebirge songs. The next time you can marvel at this spectacle will be in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Leipzig Christmas Market, smoky figures, candle arches and doughnut stalls bring the city's history to life, and the cozy mulled wine taverns are a great place to get in the Christmas spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read also my post about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/en\/most-beautiful-german-cities\/#Leipzig\">The Most Beautiful Cities in Germany<\/a><\/strong> and find out why Leipzig is one of my favorite cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-a7786c38 alignwide uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#bc9c22\">Leipzig Christmas Market Info<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opening hours: <\/strong>Up-to-date information is available on the website of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/english.leipzig.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leipzig Christmas Market<\/a> <\/strong>.<br><strong>Mobility:<\/strong> Information about Park &amp; Ride parking lots, public transportation and how to get there can be found at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/english.leipzig.de\/environment-and-transport\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.leipzig.de\/freizeit-kultur-und-tourismus\/anreise-unterkuenfte-und-angebote\/lage-anreise-nahverkehr\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">leipzig.de<\/a><\/strong>.<br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-d1e6d340 uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-left-title uagb-infobox-left uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-left-title-image\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h4 class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Recommended accommodation in Leipzig<\/h4><\/div><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\"><strong>Fair:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/expedia.com\/affiliates\/leipzig-hotels-motel-one-leipzig-augustusplatz.MTzu8PY\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/expedia.com\/affiliates\/leipzig-hotels-motel-one-leipzig-augustusplatz.MTzu8PY\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\">Motel One Leipzig - Augustusplatz<\/a><\/strong>*<br>Top location close to Augustusplatz, just an eight-minute walk from the main train station.

Weimar Christmas (Thuringia)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For more than 50 years, the <strong>Weimar Christmas<\/strong> with its festive atmosphere against the historic backdrop of the cultural city of Weimar, is one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Thuringia. In the middle of the baroque old town, which is closely associated with Goethe and Schiller, the Christmas market stretches from the market square across Herderplatz, Frauenplan and Schillerstra\u00dfe to Theaterplatz. The festively decorated stalls blend harmoniously into the charming streets and squares and invite you to stroll and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The huge, festively illuminated Christmas tree that shines on the market square and forms the centerpiece of Weimar Christmas is particularly impressive. At the stalls, you will find a colorful mix of traditional arts and crafts, regional specialties and creative gift ideas. The scents of roasted almonds, mulled wine and Thuringian bratwurst fill the air and put visitors in the Christmas spirit. A special highlight is the 510 square meter ice rink on Theaterplatz. At the foot of the Goethe-Schiller monument, Weimar residents and tourists alike skate their merry rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the actual market, Weimar Christmas offers a varied cultural program with concerts, fairy tales and performances that further enrich the contemplative Advent season. Anyone who enjoys the combination of culture, history and festive atmosphere will be delighted by Weimar Christmas.

Here, two old-timer sailing ships decorated for Christmas from the museum harbor make the hearts of seafarers and those who would like to be, beat faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also popular is the frivolous Christmas market \"Santa Pauli\" on Hamburg's Kiez near Spielbudenplatz, with alternative Christmas attractions such as a strip tent, Pink Christmas Disco in the Wunderbar and show stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/en\/most-beautiful-german-cities\/#Hamburg\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/schoenste-staedte-deutschland\/#Hamburg\">Hamburg is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany<\/a><\/strong> and is definitely worth a visit of several days! <a href=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/en\/unesco-world-heritage-sites-germany\/#UN-Speicherstadt-Hamburg\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/unesco-welterbe-deutschland\/#UN-Speicherstadt-Hamburg\">Be sure to check out the <strong>Speicherstadt<\/strong> on, which are included in the <strong>UNESCO World Heritage List<\/strong> in 1998.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-4bcc8344 alignwide uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#bc9c22\">Historic Christmas Market at the City Hall Market Hamburg Info<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opening hours: <\/strong>Up-to-date information is available on the website of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamburg-travel.com\/see-explore\/events\/historic-christmas-market-on-rathausmarkt\/?_ga=2.65767911.856524276.1695588515-1309119846.1692875796&amp;_gl=1*13xtshs*_ga*MTMwOTExOTg0Ni4xNjkyODc1Nzk2*_ga_G0SQ0BF5HQ*MTY5NTU4ODUxNC4zLjAuMTY5NTU4ODUxNC42MC4wLjA.\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.hamburg-tourism.de\/sehen-erleben\/veranstaltungen\/historischer-weihnachtsmarkt-rathausmarkt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Historic Christmas Market at the Town Hall Market<\/a><\/strong>.<br><strong>Mobility:<\/strong> Information about Park &amp; Ride parking lots, public transportation and how to get there can be found at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamburg-travel.com\/discover-hamburg\/information\/?_ga=2.62039397.856524276.1695588515-1309119846.1692875796&amp;_gl=1*1sjshpb*_ga*MTMwOTExOTg0Ni4xNjkyODc1Nzk2*_ga_G0SQ0BF5HQ*MTY5NTU4ODUxNC4zLjEuMTY5NTU4ODU4OC42MC4wLjA.\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.hamburg-tourism.de\/das-ist-hamburg\/infos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hamburg-tourism.com<\/a><\/strong>.<br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-5e7be87e uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-left-title uagb-infobox-left uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-left-title-image\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h4 class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Recommended accommodation in Hamburg<\/h4><\/div><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\"><strong>Luxurious:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/de\/hotel-atlantic-hamburg-autograph-collection.en.html?aid=7975066&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;room1=A%2CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\"> <\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/expedia.com\/affiliates\/hamburg-hotels-hotel-atlantic-hamburg.uaL6CD4\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/expedia.com\/affiliates\/hamburg-hotels-hotel-atlantic-hamburg.uaL6CD4\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\">Hotel Atlantic Hamburg, Autograph Collection<\/a><\/strong>- THE icon among Hamburg hotels!

The traditional Christmas market was first mentioned in a document as early as 1648, and it has since developed into one of the most charming Christmas markets in Germany. In fact, it is a whole series of Christmas and craft markets spread across the Old Town Island, which creates a magical setting with the Hostentor and the city's seven towers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image aligncenter uagb-block-7ae675d5 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/weihnachtsmarkt-luebeck.jpg \" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/angiestravelroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/weihnachtsmarkt-luebeck.jpg\" alt=\"L\u00fcbeck, An der Obertrave, with Christmas lighting in the evening - angiestravelroutes.com\" class=\"uag-image-7419\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">On the banks of the Trave River, the \"Christmas City of the North\" shines twice as beautifully with its many church towers. <br>- \u00a9Kim Schou@Getty Images via Canva.com.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The classic among L\u00fcbeck's Christmas markets is the market around the magnificent town hall, where the stalls smell of roasted almonds, mulled wine and mead. Of course, you can also buy handicraft gifts, delicious regional specialties and handmade Christmas decorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Historic Christmas Market, craftsmen and women demonstrate their traditional art in the Marienkirchhof and sell their handmade products. A special attraction for children at St. Mary's Church is the Fairy Tale Forest: between Christmas firs, twenty fairy tale houses transport the little ones into the wonderful world of the Brothers Grimm. The handmade figures of Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel have been used here for over fifty years. In addition, a nostalgic carousel and a train make children's hearts beat faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A highlight is the Maritime Christmas Market at Koberg in the old seafarers' quarter, where fried fish, wooden barrels and fishing nets create a real harbor atmosphere.

The special attraction of the Spreewald Christmas is the journey from the Christmas market at the Great Spreewald Harbour in L\u00fcbbenau to the Lehde Open-Air Museum by barge, where you can glide comfortably through the snow-covered canals of the Spreewald and admire the festively decorated villages from the water. Once you arrive in Lehde, a Christmas market awaits you, bringing the traditions of the region to life. Artisans present their wares in the historic courtyards and traditional Spreewald Christmas delicacies such as smoked fish, Christmas plinse and stiff grog are served in the parlors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another highlight is a visit from Santa Claus, who arrives in style by boat and delights the young visitors. The romantic atmosphere created by the blazing fire and Christmas music throughout the museum grounds makes this market an unforgettable experience.
