Frankfurt Christmas markets mini break
About this trip
What a six day trip this will be.
This Christmas we are taking you to Frankfurt, Germany, to experience the wonder of the traditional Christmas markets. From our central hotel, with superb links into the city and the markets, you have time to explore each of the main markets in the area as well as some of the other parts of this amazing city that literally lights up at Christmas.
The Frankfurt Christmas Market is one of Germany's oldest and largest, dating back to 1393, featuring over 200 festive stalls and a massive tree in Römerberg. It generally operates from late November to just before Christmas.
It offers traditional Glühwein, gingerbread and artisanal gifts across the city centre, including a unique rooftop market and the City Beach Market, and is free to enter.
