Christmas atmosphere in Saxony

Dresden boasts about the Germany's oldest Christmas market, called Striezelmarkt, and this year it is celerbated for the 584th time. But this market is not the only one. In the city you can visit another 10 thematically unique markets. We recommend going there on a weekday to avoid crowds of tourists and enjoy the christmas mood at the fullest.

What to do there?

Advent concert

Visit for example the majestic Frauenkirche church in Neuerkmarkt, where you can listen to the "Christmas Oratorio" by J. S. Bach or the Advent Songs of the Frauenkirche choir.

Christmas garden

The Pillnitz Castle and its park turn into a fairytale landscape with breathtaking lighting effects during the winter. Take this 2-km walk, which is a direct eye-catcher.

The view with a reward

Having the whole town on the palm of your hand is possible at the view of the 92-meter tower of the Kreuzkirche church. It may be physically demanding to climb up, but you can then supplement your calories with a traditional dessert called Dresdner Eierschecke.
