There’s no better way to experience the festivities of the holidays than Christmas markets (Weihnachtsmarkt) in Germany.

The markets take place usually in the center of the town, and you'll find all manner of stalls selling a wide array of crafts and tasty regional delicacies, sweets, cakes, food, mulled wine (Glühwein) and other delights. Especially, if/when there’s snow, the atmosphere is absolutely magical.

Almost every city, town and village in Germany has its own Christmas market, and deciding on which one to attend is not easy, as each of them are unique and reflect local & regional culture
