We enjoyed the Munich Christmas markets very much and would go back again, but actually would rate them behind Nuremberg and Strasbourg (probably because with the smaller towns, it was easier to visit and the whole towns seemed focused on the markets).

I had my first Christmas Market experience at Munich last year, and I have to admit, even though I was 42 at the time, being there made me feel like a small kid!! I was completely in awe of the lights and the smells of the delicious snacks being sold on the market stalls, in the shadow of the wonderful... more
