Visit holiday markets
Erfurt Christmas Market
Christmas wares of every description are available from more than 200 wooden huts on and around Domplatz, Fischmarkt and Willy-Brandt-Platz squares and along Anger and Schlösserbrücke.
Each year, the market attracts about two million visitors of all ages to watch festive decorations and magical lights during the winter season.
Christmas Market in Lubeck
Also known as the capital of Christmas in northern Germany, it is the center of the most beautiful and jolly Christmas markets. Engage all of your sense in an amazing atmosphere with hot drinks, pies and live music from 25 November to 30 December 2019.
Lubeck is famous for its Fairy Tale Forest which has always been a festive attraction. 500 illuminated fir-trees and 21 stalls beautifully recreate tales of the Brothers Grimm.
The Striezelmarkt in Dresden
The oldest holiday market in Germany, where you will find the delicious German food, regional cuisine and crafts, choir and organ concerts, ballet performances and fairytale readings at the city’s ten Christmas markets will create a festive atmosphere wherever you go
You have to try their famous (Stollen) Cake as there are 120 bakeries and pastry shops in and around Dresden that are 100% licensed to make the real cake according traditional recipes and strict quality standards, and we can say that it is an unbeatable experience for taste buds.
Winter sports
The Schluchtensteig Trail in the Black Forest
It is time burn some calories in the famous Elb river in Germany, where you can hike in the Black Forest (named this way because it’s home to many pine trees, but it’s very green). Do not forget to try the delicacies along the way while exploring the gorgeous nature dressed in white snow.
Ski or ride the cable car at the top of Mount Zugspitze southwest Garmisch-Garmisch-Partenkirchen
We recommend visiting the highest mountain covered in snow in Germany with views of Switzerland, Italy and Vienna, where you can enjoy sleigh rides on the snow or cable car rides offering magical natural scenery.
Ride the Harz Steam Railway
Enjoy a journey through nature between the Harz Mountains in a brilliant white scenario.
Just a few miles away, you will find magnificent cultural attractions, cozy small towns and private trenches that form the remains of the traditional mining tradition as it is an integral part of the landscape.
