I paid a visit to 4 Christmas markets in Germany. The Christmas markets of Freiburg, Baden-Baden, Saarbrücken and Trier.
The cool thing about it was that they all had a different vibe and atmosphere...
Watch my Christmas markets in Germany recap video below ;-)
Christmas Markets in Germany
Freiburg Christmas market
My first stop on my Christmas markets tour in Germany was the cute Christmas market of Freiburg where I learned how to paint a christmas candle and caught up with some friends who happily showed me around and introduced me to white gluhwein, the region's speciality :-)

Baden-Baden Christmas market
Baden-Baden was my second stop on my Christmas Markets in Germany tour and let me tell you, the town is not only known for its spas and hot water springs but it also organizes a beautiful and especially tasty Christmas market. There are food stalls with meals from around the world and I of course had to do some tasting ;-)

Saarbrücken Christmas market
Looking for a fun and spectacular Christmas market? Plan in a visit to Saarbrücken. You'll literally see Santa Claus flying over your head with his reindeer and sleigh! I absolutely loved this and the kids around me were in total awe and wonder. Not only that, I even got to meet Santa after he landed his sleigh. So so cool! Definitely one of the coolest stops on my Christmas Markets in Germany tour.

| So many laughs and Christmas cheers/drinks with these two :-) |

Trier Christmas market
The Trier Christmas market is absolutely one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Germany. Make sure to try some of the local apple wine aka Viez and then just relax and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere. If that's not enough, you can pay a visit to the Roman gate, Porta Nigra with the original Santa :-)
