Bamberg, Maxplatz
Bamberg’s largest Christmas market takes up the 2.000 square metres of Maxplatz at the heart of the Old Town. The air smells of freshly baked gingerbread and mulled wine, and exhibitors honour the tradition that dates back to the 19th century with a display of traditional handcrafted goods. For more festive flair, venture out into the Old Town alley and browse the local shops and boutiques.
