Experience one of the oldest Christmas markets in Europe, filled with wooden chalets offering handmade gifts, Bavarian crafts, and seasonal delicacies. A 30-meter-tall Christmas tree is adorned with 3,000 lights, and the smell of Glühwein (mulled wine) fills the air. Time your visit for dusk when the tree lights up, creating a magical scene.
