Meetings Newsletter for Germany

Germany reveals its particular charm and warm hospitality in the festive weeks leading up to Christmas. Fairy lights twinkle brightly warming up the dark cool nights – on Christmas trees, in market squares, in shop windows, along busy streets and in private houses and gardens. Marzipan and gingerbread tease millions of taste-buds as the aroma of mulled wine and roasted almonds fill the evening air. Candles flicker and burn on Advent wreaths while choirs celebrate in chorus the promise and hope of ‘Silent Night’.

Over 2,500 German Christmas markets, located in historical and beautiful settings in cities, villages and towns, invite you to come and share in the joys and wonder of Advent and to enter into Germany’s very special Christmas mood.

In this issue we present you with a selection of larger German Christmas markets along with a number of very special seasonal offers.

Season’s greetings and a peaceful and prosperous New Year!
