Christmas Markets in Germany

[NanaNelly]

I’m will be in Germany during Advent and I was wondering which Christmas market is considered the best. Im not restricted to any certain area so can please myself as to where I end up.

thank you.

Have been to a few in Germany, all were very busy. I really liked Cologne, also Stuttgart & a small town nearby called Esslingen. The ones near the French/German/Swiss border are great too like Colmar, Baden-Baden, Basel, Strasbourg.

I LOVED Munich at Christmas. The christmas market was amazing but the whole city was just glorious over Christmas. I've been to a number of other markets in Europe and the UK and there are still things I've never seen again since Munich (including some glass baubles that DD wants us to go back to Munich for - even though I went before she was born - because she wants new ones! )
