The most well known Chistmas Market 'Weihnachtsmarkt' in Germany is in Rothenburg ob der Tauber (a middle age walled Free City), there's a shop there that is world famous for Christmas decorations and accessories, although the name of the shop escapes me at the moment. You can buy things in the store there and they will ship it to your home...taking care of all the customs and duties...things that you'd have to do when you got home.

Another good Christmas Market is the Barrock Weihnachtsmarkt in Ludwigsberg, by Stuttgart. This is considered the best Market in Baden-Wuettermberg.

Most towns and cities in the former DDR have some of the most traditional Christmas Markets, meaning they're not overrun by a lot of premade items you can buy in stores. About 90 % of the items are all hade made and they are all different.

FROHE WEIHNACHTEN!!!

Nuremberg (Nuernberg) is the ONLY place to go for the Christmas market-- it is the best in terms of things for sale, the events and the insanely good Nuernberger Bratwurst and latkas!

Koln (or Cologne) is within easy reach of UK. The atmosphere is just great!

Take a hotel in Aachen ( near by Cologne) and visit the local Christmas market. Not as crowdy and "tourist orientated" (means expensive with lot of "made in China"...) as for example Nürnberg. Aachen is the German center for "Printen "-baking. Printen are a kind of Lebkuchen, a spicy Christmas bakery - very typical !!!

Nearby Aachen the castle Satzvey is located in the little city of Mechernich in the Eifel. The whole December is there a medieval Christmas market, very special with lot of flair.

That´s my trip-tip... Merry x-mas !!!

Several suggestions are worthwhile:

Nuremberg - has a traditional market

Dresden - known for its market, which is one of the largest

Berlin - there are something like 50 markets, including alternative or wacky ones there (but of course also te traditional fairs), so basically it is the best place, especially since you can get a day-tour from Berlin to Dresden and see the market there.

I only know the ones in Bremen and Münster, they were both worthwhile.

the one in Nuermberg is clearly the most famous and most popular in the world

Rothenburg--at least by reputation-- but there are good ones all over...

I believe that the one in Nürnberg is the most popular in Germany, been there a few times and even took a visitor from the states there and he loved it!

Hi!

Nuremberg is definitively the most famous in Germany and very nice... but honestly it became very comsumer-oriented over the last years and it lost a lot of its traditional athmosphere. But anyhow it's still nice and worth to visit (as the whole city anyway :-)).

If you have a car or people to drive you around then I suggest you to go to the smaller cities around Nuremberg (like Hersbruck, Lauf etc.) or few kilometres more to Würzburg and (as already suggested) Rothenburg o.d.T. - both approx one hour from Nuremberg by car!

Best regards,
Frank

munich is very traditional and easy to get to, but if you want a great weekend break plus the trad xmas markets, you can't go wrong in berlin.....

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a town in the Ansbach (district) of Mittelfranken (Middle Franconia), the Franconia region of Bavaria, Germany, well known for its well-preserved medieval old town. In the Middle Ages, it was an Imperial Free City. A significant fraction of Rothenburg is carfree. Many Christmas stores there, and such a beautiful city to boot!
