Christmas Market (Christkindelsmärik)

The Christmas Market in Strasbourg is a winter wonderland that transforms the city's historic center into a festive hub. This beloved tradition, known as Christkindelsmärik, has been a staple of Alsatian culture since 1570. As you stroll through the cobblestone streets, you're surrounded by the sweet scent of roasted chestnuts and the warm glow of twinkling lights. Over 300 wooden stalls offer an array of festive delights, from handmade crafts to gourmet treats like mulled wine and gingerbread. The market's centerpiece is a majestic Christmas tree, adorned with ornaments and lights that seem to dance in the night air.
