      Departure Graf: Dresden Christmas Market

      Join us as we visit Dresden’s Christmas Market – one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in the world! It is also Germany’s oldest Christmas Market with a very long history dating back to 1434. If you’re tired of commercialism taking over this holiday period and would like to get right away for a real traditional and romantic Christmas Market you might want to consider heading with us to Dresden where Christmas gifts are not mass-produced, but craftwork of real quality.

      • Gingerbread, fruit loaves and other holiday treats
      • Unique, handmade clothes, crafts and toys
      • Dresden’s magnificent Zwinger Palace

      Itinerary

      Every visitor here will find a “little something”: Christmas pyramids, smoking figures and candleholders from Erzgebirge Mountains, indigo-dyed printed textile products and pottery from Lusatia, gingerbread from Pulsnitz, filigree lace products from Plauen, Herrenhut Advent stars, blown glass tree decorations from Lauscha, and of course specialities from Dresden itself, such as the traditional ‘Pflaumentoffel’, a chimney-sweep figure made of dried prunes. Visitors can also watch the carvers, glass-blowers and bakers in action at the crafts market.

      Departure: 7:00 am
      Return: around 9:15 pm

      • Dress for the weather!  Warm shoes are a definite must have, as the market takes place outside (unless you sneak into an open restaurant for a bite) and you will be standing or walking around for most of your visit.
      • Bring cash. There will be ATM’s around the city center, but most of the stalls are cash only.
      • Most hot drinks are poured into ceramic mugs, which you will pay a reimbursable fee for (Pfand), similar to the glasses at wine and beer festivals.  If you want to keep the mugs to remember your visit to the market (they change each year and have the year and city name on them), just take it home with you!  If not, drink up and then return your mug to the vendor you purchased it from to get your fee returned (normally from €1 to €3).
