Today the run up to Christmas has begun. Our staff wishes you a wonderfull holiday season 2015!

Hey guys,

this years medieval christmas market just opened it’s doors to the public located inside the stable yard! It’ll be open until the 23rd December from 11am till 9.30pm.

The stable yard used to be part of the residential castle of Dresden. It used to be the location for many horseshows. It’s one of the oldest show places in Germany you can visit.

This christmas market is kept close to the medieval theme. You’ll find no plastic, nearly no electrical light and no nonstop-christmas-carols :)

All merchants are dressed accordingly and are working with typical tools and materials. So you’ll see real craftsmen.

Talk to the blacksmith, tanner or cabinetmaker about their work.

There is a little stage where you can listen to some typical music or watch short theater plays.

Especially on weekend there are well known medieval bands playing or you can watch some nice fire shows. Just check the homepage for the program.

During the week there is free entry. Only during the weekend you’ll have to pay 3€. But it’s worth it :)

For further information you can visit the official website.

From now on it’ll be only 5 more days until the famous Striezelmarkt (aka christmas market) will be open to the public.

It’ll be open from 26th November until 24th December.

A few retailers are still setting up their stalls and working on their final decoration.

It’s actually quite nice to wander along the empty aisles looking at the closed stalls, imagining how busy it’ll be in a week. Just the perfect time for taking proper pictures without thousand of people around you :)

There are a very few stalls, where you can already have some mulled wine to set your body temperature right :)

We’ll keep you up to date next week, which christmas markets will be good to have a look at and what you can expect to see there!
