Christmas is always a big deal in Germany. There are Advents calendars everywhere, Christmas lights throughout the city, and of course the Christmas or Weinachts Markt. Almost every town has a Christmas market of some sort. Whether it is open for a weekend or for the entire month of December, there is absolutely no reason to not go to a Christmas market. In larger cities, there is often two markets. One in the center of the city, and another in front of the main train station. Inside of a Christmas market, you can always buy potato pancakes (kartoffeln puffer), spiced wine (gluh wein), and roasted nuts. Aside from these staples, you can also find an assortment of local Christmas decorations or items in general. Going to a Christmas market is a good way to see traditional German living, as almost everyone goes to the Christmas market. There are certain cities that have famous Christmas markets such as Munich, Dresden, Berlin, and Hamburg. However, I think that all of the Christmas markets are enchanting, whether they are in a large city or in a small village. They are definitely a place to go when you are in Germany during December.
