Discover the Christmas land of Saxony!
It is the country with centuries-old traditions and customs. They are still practised today in such great variety that it is fair to say it has the highest density of Christmas experiences in Germany.
Christmas lovers will get their money's worth, especially in Dresden. Visit Germany's oldest Christmas market, the Striezelmarkt. The name of the Christmas market is derived from the Stollen (Striezel), the famous Dresden Christmas biscuit. Enjoy this with a cup of mulled wine or tea as you stroll along the market.
