A fusion of urban sparkle and tradition!

• Several markets are scattered around Marienplatz

• A wide variety of markets such as the "Medieval Market" and the "Residenz Market"

• There are many types of mulled wine, and collecting original mugs is also fun!

[Tips on how to enjoy Christmas markets] 🎁🎶

① Taste mulled wine (hot wine)

Drinking hot mulled wine in the cold is exceptional✨
Another attractive feature is that you can get/take home an original mug in each city!

👉 There is a deposit system (€3-4), and you can get your money back if you return it!

② Choose "handmade" Christmas goods

German markets have a wide variety of ornaments and candles handmade by artisans. Just looking at the one-of-a-kind wooden carvings and star-shaped lamps will get you excited!

🎁 Perfect as a gift!

③ Don't forget the local gourmet food!

• Bratwurst (grilled sausage)

• Crepes, stollen, roasted almonds

• And... soup-filled bread to eat at the food stalls🍲🥖

✨ There are plenty of menus to warm you up from the inside!

④ The way to enjoy both mornings and nights is to enjoy both!

There are few people during the day, so you can take a leisurely stroll,

At night, the lights are turned on and the atmosphere transforms into a fantastic one✨

👉 If you're a photography lover, you should check both!

Summary!
✔ The atmosphere and cuisine are different in each town, which is fun
✔ The medieval streets match perfectly with the illuminations
✔ The charm of winter only makes you want to visit many cities, even though it's just one country!
