Tips from the community

One of the oldest Christmas markets in Germany, the Munich Christkindlmarkt has ushered in the holiday season for hundreds of years. Hosted in front of Marienplatz, the city’s central square, the market boasts the largest Kripperlmarkt selling Nativity scenes and figurines. Due to COVID-19, the Munich Christmas Market has been cancelled for the second year in a row. While in Munch, take the 256km northwest to the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany’s year-round festive Christmas town.
