and Christmas Markets are part of these traditions. Christmas Markets are in

A huge decorated Christmas tree sits regally in the main square of
each city, glittering lights adorn the streets, and aromas of roasted chestnuts

the year. Germany celebrates the season in the same fashion, and Christmas
Markets provide the perfect gathering place for friends to meet for a mug of
mulled wine or two, then stroll in search for the perfect one-of-a-kind

Christmas Market, the largest and most well-known in Germany, and as you walk
around, don’t forget to taste Nuremberg’s famous gingerbread. Stroll through
lively Regensburg, and as you visit the town’s romantic Christmas Market, why

Christmas Markets with unique crafts like hand-painted porcelain and Bohemian
glass ornaments. And in Linz, “The Town of Christmas Crèches,” you’ll marvel at
the small clay figurines that represent the people of a typical village—the
butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker.
You’ll listen to dramatic sounds of an organ recital at the old convent in
Dürnstein, one of the prettiest towns on the Danube, and the orchestral sounds
of a Mozart and Strauss concert in Vienna. All this and more, in two countries
