We have been on many trips to Europe but this was our first trip for the Christmas Markets. All I can say is if you have the chance to go please please don't pass it up. In one word it is FANTASTIC! The food, the smells, the people, the attractions cannot be beat. There are sausages of all kinds, short,... More
