Christmas Market in Thuringia’s Capital City of Erfurt

It’s Christmas Time! This is also  the chance  for me to share some of the Christmas markets I visited and experienced in Europe.  It was a solo trip for me when I visited Thüringen, German name for Thuringia.  Not really  a solo trip  because I was with a group of German  tourists and most  of them are  retired ones. Since everybody are busy during this holiday season, I ended up travelling alone but with a group.  I never know anyone from  that trip but  I  was glad that some of them are so friendly.

Thuringia  is one of the 16 federal states located in the central part of Germany. Its capital city is Erfurt and this is where our trip started among all of the three cities that  were included from that trip.

It has been a long time since I  planned to go to this city and I am so happy and  contented  after our trip there. The highlight of our trip was the visit to the Christmas market.  This event is one of my favorite  in Germany every  year.

This year’s celebration of Erfurt’s Christmas Market takes place from November  27 to December  22,2012. It is the  162nd Erfurt Christmas Market. It is the largest  Christmas market in Thuringia.  It spreads  through out the whole town center but the  main  part takes place on the Cathedral Square. You can find around 200 booths selling various products from art and crafts to  Christmas decors, Jeweleries and  local foods and  delicacies  such as Lubkuchen (ginger bread), Stollen, Glühwein (mulled wine), Thuringer wurst (sausage in Thuringia) and many more. You can enjoy a  ferris wheel ride at the Cathedral square.
