Tips & Advice

  • If the evening turns colder than expected, pick up hats, scarves, gloves or socks from the market's own stalls.
  • Try the Feuerzangenbowle as well as the mulled wine, since the market has a stall just for it, along with sweet treats.
  • Compare the Christstollen stalls, since the market has both an Original Dresdner Christstollen stand and other stalls selling fine Christstollen.
  • Let children ride the carousel while adults browse the several stalls of Erzgebirge woodcraft, the pottery stall and the candles and Herrnhut stars.
