The most beautiful Advent markets 2023

Beautifully idyllic - that's how you imagine a Christmas market. With romantic lighting and lots of lovingly made crafts. Music and singing often add a very special flair. And of course, fragrant vanilla crescents, farmer's doughnuts and warming mulled wine, punch and Jagatee are not to be missed. This is the place to linger. We reveal enchanting Christmas markets that will not only make children's eyes sparkle.
