The Frankfurt Christmas Market is one of the oldest and largest holiday markets in Germany, dating back to 1391. Extending across several squares around the historic city center, its stalls offer a variety of goods, such as wooden toys, handicrafts, candles, ornaments and more. The sounds of Christmas carols and church bells fill the air, as does the delicious aroma of glühwein (mulled wine), roasted chestnuts, grilled sausages and gingerbread. The market also features a giant Christmas tree, illuminated by thousands of lights, ribbons and bells.
