Experiencing the magic of Christmas in Germany is incomplete without a visit to Dresden. Boasting the largest population of Christmas markets in eastern Germany, Dresden proudly hosts 11 of them. It’s also home to the oldest ongoing festive event in the nation. The advent of the Christmas Market tradition in Germany can be traced back to 1434, when Dresden first authorized a food market on Christmas Eve. With its roots deeply embedded in the city’s native industries such as mining, woodworking, and pottery, it remains highly traditional.
