Germany Chritmas Markets

Hello travel lovers!


 


Are you an avid lover of Christmas Vacation travel? I am. 


 


I love to travel during the Christmas season. Did you know that Germany during December is one of the most magical destination in the world?


 


There is a world of Christmas magical, amongst midevial villages and historical cities. 


 


I have travelled to destinations world wide during the Christmas season, however few destinations I've experienced are as wonderful, luxurious and festive as Germany. 


 


A typical Christmas market trip that I can plan for you will be 8-12 days. 


 


I usually have you flying into Frankfurt from here you will experience your first night exploring Frankfurt. 


 


Next you will head south to Rothenburg ob de Tauber to experience the magical wall city and the unique market here. I always recommend staying in the village for at least one night. My favourite hotels are The Romantik Hotel and Hotel Gastehaus. Both are historic and authentic and in amazing locations. 


 


Next you will travel to Nuremburg, stay in the heart of the old city and steps from the markets. The market here is often voted the best in Germany. 


 


We can add on a night or two in Munich so you can travel to Neuschwanstein- the castle that inspired Walt Disney's cinderella castle at Disneyland. 


 


Return to Munich for the market, the BMW museum and so much more. 


 


Next we head north to Weimer. This historical town was once home to famous playwrights- Johann von Wolfgang and Fredrich Von Schiller. If your a history buff, you may be interested to learn Weimer was where the 3rd Reich was born. On a more emotional front, you can easily visit the humbling Buchenwald concentration camp from Weimer. 


 


Weimer also hosts an abundance of winter activities such as an ice skating rink at the markets, museums, art history and so much Christmas magic you'll depart feeling so warm from al of the gluhwien you've sampled. Happy. 


 


My favourite hotel in Weimer is Hotel Elephant, literally a few steps from the market. 


 


After Weimer I suggest heading west to Berkastel-Kues. The best location to stay is the Castle called Schloss Leiser. The castle is about 10 minutes from Berkastel by car, surrounded by vineyards.


 


Bernkastel is a small hidden gem situated along the Moselle River. Home of the large- advent calendar hotel that opens a new window each day into December until Chritmas arrive. Visit one of the ancient Roman wineries for a tasting. 


Now we drive North to Aachen where Roman history surrounds and towers the market square One night here. 


 


Then we head up to Trier, The Roman aquaducks and history are situated all around the large market. Shopping is in abundance here and you'll be able to easily fill your CHristams Shopping list here with local hand made wares. 


 


Next stop the famous market of Cologne. The cathedral in the market square is breathtaking. After a few days exploring Cologne, sipping the gluhwein and the kolsh bier head east to Berlin. 


 


In Berlin, tour the remnants of the Berlin wall. Visit the many Christmas markets, take a diner river cruise. Shop till you drop and enjoy each moment before you depart Germany. 


 


Each market is unique, each market offer special foods, drinks, cultural experiences and fun. 


 


I hope you enjoyed exploring this sample itinerary for my favourite European destination to explore in December. 


 


We can customize a wonderful itinerary suited just for your tastes and interests. Everything from A Christmas market river cruise, to a self guided trip such as this one or a guided group tour.
