The Christmas Market in Frankfurt has the traditions of over 600 years. It is one of the Germany´s oldest and most popular Christmas markets in Europe. A sign of the popularity of Frankfurt Christmas Market is, that there are a smaller sibling version in some cities of Great Britain (Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Edinburgh), which has undoubtedly partly influenced on the great popularity of the market. It is easy to get to the Frankfurt Christmas Market, because the largest airport of Germany is located only 15 minutes from there, and there are lots of luxury and inexpensive hotels in the city.
There are lots of irresistible temptations in the area. Baked apples, roasted nuts, gingerbreads and mulled wine are just waiting for to get eaten and drunk. A contrast to them is the ever-present Frankfurt skyline in the background. An unforgettable experience is guaranteed by the historical Römerberg market place, St Paul´s church and the gigantic Christmas tree.
The event is held on the Römerberg Square, Paulsplatz and Mainkai quay. Arts, crafts and seasonal food and drink are offered in 200 stalls. The area around the 30-metre high Christmas tree is full of entertainment: for example, concerts and trumpet fanfares from the balcony of St. Nicholas´s Church. The visitors can make themselves familiar with the secrets of the Frankfurt Christmas Market on a guided theme tour. More information is available in the Frankfurt Tourist Office.
