Groupon’s Guide To Italian and German Christmas Markets

Indulging in a seasonal escape, visitors will get wrapped in the nationwide market tradition with candles, Christmas trees and special gifts, all in a warm atmosphere. Enveloped in Yuletide spirit and winter cheer, the cities of Rome, Milan, Cologne, Berlin and Frankfurt springs a traditional Christmas market bubbling over with crafts, trinkets, rich mulled wine, carols and parades.

Stalls full of wood carvings, figurines and thematic candles may be found in Piazza Navona, lighting up the Christmas atmosphere in Rome. Pancakes, donuts and other sweet treats are available in Milan at Piazza of the Basilica di Sant’Ambrogio, where the Italians celebrate with lighting decorations and live performances. Cologne offers festivities under its immense cathedral as well as on the huge and central Rudolfplatz, while the 600-year-old Frankfurt market features live music and fanfares. In Berlin, the capital city of all Christmas Markets, the festival is hosted by the Charlottenburg Palace and its park, where acrobats, gospel ensembles, lighting decorations and specific fare including roasted almond and baked apples create a festive setting.
