So here we are again, yep it’s holiday season which means Christmas Markets! I mean really??!!! Now we’re not going to lie we actually love it. The crisp fresh air (a dusting of snow perhaps), the mulled wine or a baileys on the rocks, Christmas music and of course all the twinkling lights! Ok start the festivities too soon and you may want to jump off a bridge, but if you gently ease into it then you should have plenty of holiday spirit to last the whole season long.
As many of you know or may have heard through the grape vine, Germany kicks ass at Christmas Markets, no one in the world knows how to put on a Weihnachtsmarkt like the Germans. Fact. People from near and far gather in Germany to experience these amazing Markts.
With this in mind, Frankfurt and the surrounding areas have some really lovely ones. Check out the list down below so you don’t miss out!
Fun for the whole family.
