Berlin Travel Forum

I am planning to go to Germany for the Christmas Holiday. However, I do not know what city/area would be the best for what I am looking for. I would like to go where they have the best Christmas Celebration. Any advise would really help me out.
Thanks

I think it depends on what you want for a holiday. For "old style," I'd go to something along the Romantic Road or Fairytale Road. For modern day german xmas, I'd stick to the major cities. Personally, Berlin was my favorite during our recent trip. However, Munich is very pretty, and the northern towns are lovely as well. Do a few searches to look for traditional festivals.

That idea is something my mother has wanted to do for a long time. She grew up near Koln, but she wants to do Bavaria for the holidays.

When planning your trip keep in mind that the Christmas markets end before Christmas, usually the 23rd December is the last day.Christmas itself is a very private affair in Germany, just family and friends.
