Christmas markets in the Palatinate: handmade treasures and festive atmosphere!

The anticipation for the contemplative time of the year is obvious! In the Palatinate, the Christmas markets sprout like mushrooms, and people can hardly wait to get lost in a festive atmosphere. "Everything has its time - Advent is in December," said the Evangelical Church, which has been teaching us for 20 years. But the longing for light and conviviality makes the markets bloom before the official start of Advent!

For all Christmas market lovers there is an almost endless selection in the Palatinate! In the larger cities, the markets lure with bratwurst XXL and steaming mulled wine, even if the Christmas mood sometimes falls by the wayside. Stefan Tielkes from the city marketing company Lukom sums it up: "All lovely bond -blown Christmas balls and hand -carved nativity figures from the Thuringian Forest. Unfortunately, none buys them." A clear indication that true Christmas magic is often hidden in the small, charming markets.
