Christmas Market Tour

The Christmas markets are a very important part of the Christmas season in Germany. Christmas market - that means toys, bratwurst, candied almonds and hot spiced wine (Glühwein) - at least for me. some of the Christmas markets in Germany are famous tourist attractions. Here are some impressions from our visits to some Christmas markets in our area. 



The Christmas market in Stuttgart

The Christmas market in Stuttgartt has about 280 stalls and about 4 million visitors

The Christmas market in Waiblingen

- much smaller of course, but also much cozier.

Probably the most famous one in our region - the Christmas market in Esslingen. One section has a medieval flair, and it is probably very cool - if you go on a weekday. We went there on a Sunday afternoon, and we had hardly room to move. So we just passed through, got some almonds, took some photos and left.
