If you like Christmas, you’ll love Dresden. A grand total of eleven completely different Christmas markets, from the by no means Dark Ages to the après ski charm of alpine huts, makes for wonderfully conflicting decisions. Holiday sounds fill the air throughout the city. From the many oratorios, Advent, organ and gospel concerts, Dresden’s churches brim with festive insider tips. Christmas tales also come to life in the city’s theatres whilst museums host special exhibitions and boats bejewelled with lights glide along the Elbe.

Sparkling lights, twinkling stars, Christmas carols, the tempting aromas of mulled wine and gingerbread and children’s eyes all aglow. The Dresden Striezelmarkt has been bringing such exquisite jewels to our city for 581 years, thus being Germany’s oldest Christmas market. A seasonal oasis in which to stroll, snack and shop: Erzgebirge wooden art, Lusatian indigo prints, Moravian stars. And all naturally topped off with a slice of original Dresden Stollen cake enjoyed under the lights of the towering Erzgebirge tiered wooden pyramid. Children can bake tasty biscuits in the baker’s shop. There is a puppet theatre, the Elves’ Cinema, a gingerbread house, children’s carousel and miniature railway. 26 Nov.–24 Dec. 2015 daily 10am–9pm at the Altmarkt Opening on 26 November, 3pm in the Church of the Holy Cross and 4pm on the stage at the Striezelmarkt 11 Dec. 2015, 10am–11pm 24 Dec. 2015, 10am–2pm www.dresden.de/striezelmarkt Dresdner Striezeltaler at the 581st Dresden Striezelmarkt The Striezeltaler tokens are back again this year.
