Midwinter Magic✨

#hellochristmas Dresden at Christmas is pure magic! The Striezelmarkt (since 1434) is one of the world’s oldest Christmas markets: glowing pyramids, handmade Pflaumemännchen (prune people), steaming Glühwein and the irresistible smell of Dresden Stollen. Twinkling lights reflect on the restored Frauenkirche, Elbe river cruises offer mulled wine under fairy lights, and the medieval-style Mittelalter-Weihnachtmarkt in the Stallhof feels like stepping into a fairy tale. Choirs sing in candlelit churches, snow dusts baroque spires — it’s cozy, romantic, and deliciously Christmassy. Perfect December escape!
