There is no place like Germany for Christmas Markets. Yes, Paris has the Champs-Élysées and London has Winter Wonderland, but there is no place that has the variety and quantity. Be cautious however, as German hostels book up quickly and bus tickets increase in price around this time of year. If you are planning on visiting the markets, book early and read this guide.
The first item on the agenda is where to go. Cologne, Berlin, and Munich are definitely hot spots for Christmas markets. The Cologne market is open from November 26-December 23 and has over 150 vendors. The Berlin market is open from November 26- December 31 and is set right next to the beautiful Gedächtniskirche church. The Munich market is also open around the same time (November 30-December 24) and has several different markets including a medieval market and a completely pink market.
