It’s that time of the year again! After we’ve already had some little snowflakes, the first offical Christmas Weekend lays ahead of us. And instead of wondering where the time and year has gone so quickly, we’re so looking forward to some Glühwein, Plätzchen and proper Christmas Shopping. Because the best places to find unique gifts and delicious christmas treats are of course the numerous Christmas & Design Markets around town.
And because the cold christmas season is not only about us, but about neighbourly love and solidarity; we added some nice charity events into our selection, so you can not only enjoy yourself, but also give back something. So here are the best tips to fully embrace one of our favorite German Christmas Tradition: The Christmas Market!
