In the northern hemisphere, Christmas is celebrated in the middle of winter and is usually associated with snowy landscapes, crackling bonfires, mulled wine and cozy gatherings with loved ones.

Germany: the gold standard for Christmas magic

It goes without saying that Germany sets the bar for Christmas celebrations. With centuries-old traditions such as the world-famous Dresden Christmas Market, Germany has come to epitomize festive cheer. Since its inception in 1434, the Dresden Christmas Market has attracted visitors with its enchanting sights, sounds and smells.

From the aroma of hot Glühwein (mulled wine) steaming in cauldrons to handmade decorations, nutcrackers and smokers, the German Christmas markets create a magical atmosphere that cannot be replicated anywhere else. Strolling through these markets is an experience for the senses: twinkling lights, cheerful carols and authentic decorations transport you to a marvelous winter wonderland.
