Erfurt’s Christmas
market is the largest in
Thuringia and one of the
loveliest in the whole
of Germany. Erfurt’s
medieval old town is
centred on the Domplatz
(Cathedral Square) which
is a perfect romantic
setting for Christmas'
unique atmosphere.
Highlights of this
market are an enormous
25m Christmas tree
decorated with hundreds
of candles, a 12m high
Christmas Pyramid and a
nativity scene with hand
carved almost life-sized
figurines. More than 200
little wooden huts
surrounded by the aroma
of glühwein and
Thuringian bratwurst
sell regional
specialities and festive
handicrafts.
