Who loves the Christmas season always finds it delightful to visit the various Christmas markets: from Northern Italy to many countries in Northern Europe, the tradition continues to be deeply rooted and the initiative appreciated by visitors. It’s no coincidence that there are still many of them, all to be discovered.
To treat yourself to some special days, here is an idea to consider: visit the Christmas markets of Dresden.
Dresden Christmas Markets
The Striezelmarkt, this is the name of the market held in this city, is undoubtedly noteworthy, if only because it is the oldest Christmas market in Germany.
It was indeed founded as early as 1474 and today it retains all its magic, seasoned with local tradition.
The Dresden Christmas market will be inaugurated on November 27, 2013 and can be visited until December 24, Christmas Eve.
The stalls will be open every day respecting the following hours:
from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, except on November 27 (4:00 PM – 9:00 PM), December 13 (10:00 AM – 11:00 PM), and December 24 (10:00 AM – 2:00 PM).
Many events will enliven the whole city and especially those who will go to Dresden during the Immaculate Conception period can take part in a celebration scheduled for December 7, entirely dedicated to Stollen, the traditional Christmas cake of Dresden.
Dresden is a city that definitely deserves a visit, beyond the markets that animate it during the Christmas period. To learn about what to see in Dresden and what to do, we have created a guide to the German city with the main points of interest.
Great idea, therefore, to plan even just a weekend in Dresden in a time of year that promises to be magical.
