I have been living in my new hood for almost a year now and love exploring new places. These are my three favorite Christmas markets this season:

I. Essen

Twinkling lights as far as the eye can see and endless inspirations for your Shopping Spree. There are Christmas decorations from Israel, jewellery from the Baltic States and delicacies from Italy, Greece and France. An excellent range and quality, for which the Essen International Christmas Market was voted 6th in Europe and even 1st in Germany in the “European Best Christmas Markets” online voting.

II. Bückeburg Castle

Majestic views, gorgeous light installations and breathtakingly beautiful settings inside the castle. This one is a must for all holiday lovers.

III. Christmas lights at the Munster Zoo

Though it is a bit expensive, the interactive walk through the themed light show was simply magical.

Wishing everyone happy holidays with your loved ones. 🎄♥️ Stay healthy and happy and see ya back in January 2024.🍀
