Christmas Markets in Germany

-time? Why not head to nearby Germany and get that Christmas spirit in a more traditional way?The Germans mark the beginning of Christmas with the opening of Christmas Markets (also called Weihnactsmarkt or Christkindlesmarkt) all over the country, in cities, towns and provinces.
In my opinion, it's the best time to visit the country.
"From big cities to small towns, the smell, sight and sounds of Christmas permeats the air. Stollen, lebkuchen, gluehwein, sausages and roasted sugar almonds will beckon your stomach while you listen to christmas carols and twinkling colored lights guide your way around the old city square."
The biggest (in size) is in Nuremberg. Book the Visit the Christ Child travel package for an experience you will never forget.
However, if you'd rather experience the smaller ones, check out Weihnachtsmarkt Deutschland (in German) for the lists of christmas market locations.
It's an experience you wouldn't want to miss.
