After a walk through the narrow streets of Schnoor Quarter with tiny houses, we turn travel the famous German Fairy Tale Route. In the afternoon we reach Hamelin, a city known for the Pied Piper, another legend that appears in the writings of the Brothers Grimm.

gErMan cHristMas MarKEtsThe magical world of traditional German Christmas Markets is casting more visitors under its spell every year! The historic Christmas Markets, held in cities, towns and villages throughout the country, are becoming increasingly more popular, due, no doubt, to the enchanting Festive Season atmosphere they evoke.

The Christmas fairs and markets of Germany are unique. If you're tired of commercialism taking over this holiday period and would like to get right away for a real traditional and romantic Christmas Market, you may wish to consider heading to Germany where gifts are not mass-produced but craft work of real quality!

Here you can purchase all kinds of Christmas merchandise and gifts, especially traditional things such as crib figurines, toys, wood carvings, marionettes, candles and lambskin shoes. Many are difficult to resist - as will be the glass of delicious mulled wine you are offered and the baked apples that are very welcome on crisp winter days.

The ambience is further enhanced by the aromas of hot chestnuts, grilled sausages and other tasty snacks! Youngsters especially, will be attracted to the gingerbread biscuits known as Lebkuchen, marzipan figures and other sweets.

day 2 leipzig – Meißen – dresdenContinue to Meißen. Visit Meißen, one of Germany’s oldest porcelain manufacturers. Continue to Dresden. After a city tour visiting sights such as the Frauenkirche, the Semper Opera House, the Zwinger and the Green Vault, check-in to your hotel. In the evening visit the Christmas Market in Dresden which is named “Striezelmarkt”. Walk through and see the 16-yard Christmas Pyramid as-well-as visiting the stalls. Overnight at Park Inn or similar. (B)

day 3 dresden – annaberg– schneeberg – plauen Continue to two ancient miner-villages Schneeberg and Annaberg. These villages are typical for the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) and home of traditional German woodcarving and Christmas Pyramids.
