Christmas Market - (Frankfurt)

[janice mac]

Am taking my daughters (11, 14) to the Christmas market in Frankfurt.

Has anyone been before?? or got any tips??

I have already got a Frankfurt card which I understand gives free travel on public transport and discounts in various places but was just after some pointers. We arrive there on the Friday morning and come home on the Saturday evening. Thx

Know nothing about it, but it sounds great. Can you do a write up when you get back?

Leeds apparently have a great market - might try and venture over one lunchtime - although apparently there is free booze!

Birmingham has a fantastic one too :-)

My only tip would be to take plenty of warm clothing, hats, gloves, scarfs, earmuffs etc as it can get very cold.

We went to Cologne a couple of years ago and it was wonderful. Hope you have a fab time.

I fancy going to a Christmas market, never been to one before will put that on my bucket list.

I'd better have a look round the UK then and see what's going on. Anybody else know of some other places?

In the meantime, Janice, have a great time!

I went a couple of years ago and didn't really rate it. I'm sure it looked lovely in the dark with all the Christmas lights etc, but I found all the stalls very samey, not to mention very expensive.
