The famous Christmas market returned for its 10th year running this year and, once again, it didn’t disappoint. Open an extra 2 weeks for its milestone anniversary, the market stretches through New Street for over a kilometre with more 190 stalls ranging from crafts and knitwear to authentic German meat and cheese. I have often heard people tell me that it is just like the markets they have in Germany so you can’t get much more authenticity.
For people who will go next year, it is best to avoid the first couple of days due to the immense crowds which can hinder your browsing options, cause bruising from shoving and spilled beer. You tend to have to go with the current of the ‘people tide’ and there is no option of stopping without someone running into the back of you.
