German Christmas Markets |
|
Christmas in Germany is all about the magic of a traditional carnival casting visitors under its hex every year. Experience the joys of German Christmas Markets with Christmas Carnivals, in cities, towns and villages throughout the country. These are becoming increasingly fashionable, due to the enchanting atmosphere they evoke. | |
The Christmas fairs and markets of Germany are unique. If you're sick of commercialism taking over your holiday period and would like to escape for a real traditional Christmas you might consider heading to Germany where gifts are not mass-produced but craftwork of real quality.
Here you get Christmas merchandise and gifts, especially traditional equipment such as crib figurines, toys, wood crafts, marionettes, candles and lambskin shoes. It's difficult to resist them, what with the glass of delicious mulled wine and the baked apples that are heartily welcome on crisp winter days. The market square, cathedral and town hall are bathed in a whirlpool of festive light. The lovingly designed Christmas village has a host of small booths where Christmas streamers, crafts and spicy gingerbread - Aachen Printen - are up on sale. Varied events programs are hosted featuring guest bands at weekends. Augsburg's Christkindlesmarkt is one of the loveliest and oldest Christmas markets, held for more than 5 centuries in the impressive Renaissance town hall. The highlight is the Augsburg Angels Play when angels appear, playing music, and the Renaissance town hall is transformed into a giant Advent calendar.
Make the best of the holiday season with Christmas Carnivals German Christmas Markets.
