SPECIAL THEME: MAGICAL CHRISTMAS TIME IN GERMANY

Germany: Country of Christmas markets Christmas markets are a German thing, that much is certain. Mostly beginning in November, the last part of each year in Germany is dedicated to these festive gatherings. Visit a big city and you will not get around it, visit a small city and it will be the centrepiece. But what is it about these winter wonderland installations that makes them so very irresistible for 270 million visitors a year? TEXT: THOMAS SCHROERS
