THERE'S a Christmas market in Germany that's nearly 600 years old – and it boasts some big attractions. <\/p>\n

Dresden Christmas Market, also known as Dresdner Striezelmarkt, is said to be the oldest Christmas market in the world. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Dresden Market dates back to 1434, when Prussian king Frederick II, and his brother, the Duke of Sigismund, agreed to host an outdoor Christmas market on Christmas Eve. <\/p>\n

The market has been running ever since, and it is now in its 589th year. <\/p>\n

And its impressive history isn't the only draw, it is also home to the world's tallest Ore Mountain – a Christmas pyramid decorated with lights and ornaments.<\/p>\n

Dresden's Ore Mountain is a whopping 14.6m high, making it one of the market's focal points. <\/p>\n

At the market, visitors can walk underneath or through the arch to gain access to the stalls.<\/p>\n

Dresden Market is home to over 200 stalls, including stands selling sweets, warm snacks, homemade gifts, and jewellery.<\/p>\n

In recent years, holidaymakers have been raving about the market on TripAdvisor. <\/p>\n

One person wrote: "One of the best and largest Christmas markets in Germany. It has an amazing atmosphere, good food, and a warm welcome." <\/p>\n

A second person added: "Wow, this is the best Christmas Market we have ever been to. It was cheaper than the UK markets, and the stalls and decorations were amazing." <\/p>\n

The market will open on November 29, 2023, and will run until Christmas Eve. <\/p>\n

While Ryanair operates direct flights to Dresden, these flights don't run during the winter months. <\/p>\n

That being said, direct flights are in operation to the neighbouring city of Leipzig, with prices starting from \u00a325 for a one-way ticket. <\/p>\n

From Leipzig Airport to Dresden, it's a 90-minute drive. <\/p>\n

The German "Christmas City" can also be reached by train, but passengers will need to change trains in the centre of Leipzig. <\/p>\n

If you don't fancy travelling to Germany<\/span> to visit a Christmas market, then there are plenty of places to visit in the UK. <\/p>\n
