1. Dresden
Germany is not only about beer and bratwurst. It is also about cake! Yes, yes! Cake! In other words, the Christmas market from Dresden is not complete without its famous 8000-pound fruitcake. There is a beautiful tradition that involves the cutting of the cake by a “fruitcake maiden”, and then it is passed around to everyone to enjoy. As well, this market is the ideal place to pick up handmade gifts, ornate decorations and tasty sweet treats for your seasonal hamper.
