After Christmas in Germany

Strasbourg, the Capital of Christmas, is the magic of a city that awakens during the festive season. However, the spirit of Christmas does not stop at the walls of Strasbourg: it also takes hold of the entire region, extending to the other side of the Rhine. Just as charming as our Alsatian markets, the German markets are well worth a visit, and in fact, they extend the festive period until January, offering plenty of opportunities to liven up your Christmas holidays.
