The Striezelmarkt is considered to be one of the oldest Christmas markets of its kind in the world
Nothing encapsulates the festive spirit quite like a leisurely stroll around a Christmas market. While you might've already explored what the UK has to offer, there are some markets located a little bit further afield.
Now in its 590th year, the Striezelmarkt has expanded to include over 240 stalls which attract over 3 million visitors a year from across the globe. The market got its name from the word "Struzel'' or "Stroczel," which was a type of cake sold during the festivities, but is now commonly known as Stollen or Christstollen. The market is running from November 27 to December 24.
Over the centuries, the Frauenkirche fell into disrepair and underwent several renovations, notably by George Bahr, who added the church's iconic dome. During World War Two, the Frauenkirche collapsed following the devastating bomb attack on the city in 1945. At the Zwinger, you'll find the Porcelain Collection, Old Masters Picture Gallery, and the Royal Cabinet of Mathematical and Physical Instruments. In the Green Vault museum at the Residenzschloss, you can tour the treasury of August the Strong, where eight rooms display the value of the objects on show, such as the Weisilberzimmer and the Silbervergoldetes Zimmer .
