We did our own tour of the European Christmas Markets. One of my favorite was Strasbourg. We had been to this area before but seeing it at Christmas time is a special treat. As with all of the european markets the food is outstanding. Each market has some of the same food offerings but then they have their own special... More

Strabsourg is the capital, principal city of the Alsace region in NE France. Official seat of the European Parliament, closed to German border. Christmas Market - Timbered fairy-tale buildings with Christmas shops, gingerbread bakery, pastries, etc. Lighted at night the scene is awesome and really makes you feel so christmasy :) We took a look/visit early in the day when...

We were lucky enough to have an entire day to see Strasbourg and the Christmas markets plus La Petite France. There were at least 14 markets to view and we did all of them. Fortunately we were in Strasbourg very very early as the markets become so crowded that you cannot see anything. It was a very good day and... More

I've been to many Christmas Markets now, and this is definitely one of the best. There are actually several different market areas, most within easy walking distance. My only complaint was that the market seems to big for the parking! We drove in from Germany, and found one parking structure in the whole city which had empty spaces. Maybe it... More

While staying in Germany, I took a day trip to Strasbourg specifically for the Christmas market. Strasbourg calls itself the Lcapital of Christmas" and for good reason. The city goes all out in its decoration of buildings and lights along the streets. It also has one of the tallest Christmas trees I've seen. It's worth spending time walking around the... More

First visit - and lived up to all expectations. Look up on internet before your visit and pick up excellent guides in English at many information points. More

I just completed my 4days 3nights Strasbourg tour and currently in aix en Provence. The Xmas Market, the cold weather and the crowds really bring out the magic of Xmas. I think 3 days are more than sufficient cos all Xmas Markets are the same. U see one, u see all. I would strongly suggest u also visit to la... More
