Mainz Christmas Market (canceled for 2020)
Tradition, Atmosphere and History
Visit one of Germany's most atmospheric Christmas markets traditionally nestled under the towering 1000 year old Mainz Cathedral. Hear about old German Christmas customs while strolling around the festive stalls that sell everything from the famous hand-crafted wooden Christmas tree decorations, nativity scenes and candle arches, angelic Käthe Wohlfahrt figurines from the romantic little town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, authentic Christmas nutcrackers from the Erzgebirge to traditional gingerbread men and fruity stollen loaves. Experience the aromatic smells of spices, roasted nuts and the typical waft of the Glühwein pervading the winter air. Included in the price is a glass of warming red or white mulled wine or one of the tasty non-alcoholic alternatives.
NOTE: This year, due to COVID, the traditional Christmas Market has been canceled so this tour cannot take place.
