Don’t miss probably the prettiest Christmas market in Germany, the Striezelmarkt in Dresden 🎄 We stayed at the Star G Hotel Premium Dresden Altmarkt, right on the square with a view over the market, and seeing the stalls light up below our window was truly unreal. 📍 Striezelmarkt, Altmarkt, Dresden 🗓️ Nov 25 – Dec 24, 2026 ⏰ Daily 10 AM – 9 PM · Opening day (Nov 25) 4 – 9 PM · Christmas Eve 10 AM – 2 PM Good to know: It’s Germany’s oldest Christmas market. It was first documented in 1434, and this is its 592nd year. There are 200+ stalls of Saxon handicrafts, plus the giant Christmas pyramid. The Stollenfest is on the second Advent weekend, and the Pyramid Festival is on the third. What to eat: Dresdner Christstollen, the original Dresden stollen Pflaumentoffel, a little figure made of prunes and Dresden’s good-luck charm Save this for your Germany Christmas market trip ✨ #dresden #germany #germanytravel #visitgermany #christmasmarket
