11/22/2009 - 12/22/2009Christmas Market
Dortmund,
Germany
Dortmund can claim one of the biggest Christmas markets in Germany, with over 300 stalls packed around a gigantic Christmas tree creation that stands 45 metres tall - reputed to be the biggest in the world. Made up of 1,700 individual fir trees, its 13,000 lights bathe the Christmas proceedings in a seasonal glow. Every day there is a colourful show programme by the Alter Markt Theatre Company and a puppet or magic show to keep the children happy. Once the shopping for handicrafts, seasonal wood carvings, Christmas decorations and unusual toys is complete, shoppers can relax with a glass of hot mulled wine at one of the outdoor bars.
