Leipzig Christmas Market

The Leipzig Christmas Market is one of the largest markets holiday-spirited markets in Germany.  The month-long market is set in the scenic historical center of Leipzig which only adds to the festive atmosphere.

The story says the market has been held in Leipzig since the year 1458. Because the market is set in the photogenic historical center of Leipzig you can imagine how it would look hundreds of years ago. History does not only stay in our minds and imagination. The famous 100-year-old Carousel at the market will literally take you back in the past.

There are six areas with more than 250 stalls where you can find anything from local food to handicrafts and antiques. All six areas have their own theme and appeal. For example, at the Naschmarkt behind the Town Hall, you can find handicrafts. The handicrafts are made with old techniques and craftsmanship which can only be inherited.
