Discover the secret Christmas markets in Germany!
The pre-Christmas season is just around the corner and with it the colorful Christmas markets that ring in the Advent season all over Germany. Every year there are around 3,000 Christmas markets in this country, offering everything from nostalgic moments of pleasure to festive lights. While big cities like Nuremberg, Dresden, Munich and Frankfurt are on everyone's lips, there are also numerous less well-known but equally attractive alternatives that are ideal for a short trip. There is a particularly charming Christmas market in Monschau, North Rhine-Westphalia, which remains an insider tip for many visitors. But Aachen and Cologne are also very popular and are real magnets for Christmas market enthusiasts. Mercury reports.
The Christmas markets on the North Sea island of Sylt are also worth a visit, especially the largest Christmas market in Westerland. Here you can enjoy fresh air and experience the cosiness of the markets at the same time. Even in Franconia, where the Christmas market in Aschaffenburg is particularly popular, there are many other secret highlights such as the markets in Bamberg and Erlangen. In Saxony, however, the Dresden Striezelmarkt, recognized as the oldest Christmas market in the world, is a very special experience.
