Each market we attended had a different culture and it was fun to discover. My favorite was probably the one next to the cathedral in Cologne. This one had a community feel, complete with Glüwein and hot chocolate!
Thanks for a wonderful vacation Kestra! Totally in the Christmas spirit when I came home!!!!

Germany Covid-19 levels are low, but it is best to make sure you are up-to-date with all your shots and boosters, and you test negative for Covid-19 at least 3 days prior to departure. Tourists testing positive for COVID-19 while in Germany might be issued a sanitary quarantine order.
