Often referred to as the "Capital of Christmas," this festive city's famous Christmas market has existed since the late 1500s. One of the oldest markets in Europe, it attracts nearly 2 million visitors every year. Guests indulge in fresh sweets and doughnuts while they shop for original ornaments and handmade trinkets from hundreds of vendors. Visitors and locals alike gather to admire the giant Christmas tree and strap on ice skates to roll around the rink with loved ones. There are, of course, beautiful window displays, caroling, and colorful decorations abound.
