Christmas Market Germany

Christmas time in Germany is a magical experience that is becoming an increasingly popular holiday vacation destination for visitors around the world. Traditional Christmas markets and fairs are held in many German villages and towns, bringing a quite joyous atmosphere to the entire country.

Buying craftwood german gifts

One of the main attractions at Germany’s infamous Christmas fairs are the unique, high quality gifts that are available. Hand made gifts and wares from Germany make wonderful gifts for everyone on your list.

From figurines and carefully crafted toys for children of all ages to exquisite candles and luxurious slippers made of soft lambskin, you are sure to find the perfect gift and will probably have to get something for yourself as well.

The Tastes and Smells of Christmas in Germany

The foods and drinks, and their wonderful aromas, are just as popular as the shopping at these German Christmas markets. Warm baked apples and mulled wine are the perfect way to warm yourself from the bitter German winter temperatures. The smells of roasted chestnuts and grilled sausages will be just as enticing. Christmas markets wouldn’t be complete without a selection of tasty sweets. German gingerbread cookies, called Lebkuchen, and marzipan sweets are favourites, especially for children.

The Best Times to Visit Christmas Markets in Germany

Typical German Christmas markets and fairs are open daily through the holiday season, beginning at the end of November and lasting until just before Christmas Eve. Some are even open until Christmas Eve. The fairs generally open each morning around 10:00 and visitors can enjoy the festivities until 8 or 9 in the evening.

Christmas Market in Germany - all year round!

If you are unable to visit Germany for the holidays but still want to experience the magic of Christmas in Germany, the Kathe Wohlfahrt Christmas Village celebrates Christmas year round.

Located on Romantic Road in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, you can find the traditional, one of a kind German gifts the fairs are famous for and visit a unique Christmas museum located inside the village.
