The Striezelmarkt, a Christmas market with a magical atmosphere.
Every year at the end of November, in Dresden's oldest square, the Altmarkt, the Christmas market is decked out in lights and magnificent decorations. The Christmas magic begins.
The square is decked out with no fewer than 240 wooden cabins selling local crafts such as wooden toys, carved candles and blown glass. One of the most iconic products is the Dresden Stollen, of course! This German Christmas cake is so famous that there is a festival dedicated to it during the market, and a giant Stollen is prepared every year.
Once you've explored the aisles and tried some of the region's many specialities, you'll be sure to find something you like among the many activities and events on offer. Christmas concerts, puppet shows, children's activities including Santa's workshop and a fairytale house, a gingerbread festival, a day where local artisans get to show off their skills... There's no shortage of ideas for you to experience the magic of Christmas!
You can also enjoy the Ferris wheel to get a new perspective on the Christmas market.
One of the market’s attractions is the large wooden Christmas pyramid, at over 14 m high and typical of the region with its many decorated storeys and rotating wooden figures.
Every year, millions of visitors from Germany and all over the world come to experience the magic and uniqueness of the Striezelmarkt. The oldest and one of the most authentic Christmas markets in Europe, the Striezelmarkt combines tradition and craftsmanship, and is a testament to the importance of the festive season in German culture.
