We visited this market while on a Tauck Christmas Market Cruise of the Rhine River. The market was lovely. It winds around the town and is very easy to see everything in a short time. Don't forget to buy some Printen!

We wandered through the streets and kept seeing more and more stalls dotted all over the town - we were so pleasantly surprised by the popularity and variety of stalls. Each area we found we tried something in, whether it be food (German sausage is a must, as is the sausage in the curry sauce) drink (JaegerTea, mulled wine and... More

Part of a 5 day visit to the Christmas Markets and Aachen was certainly a great day. The stalls were bright and colourful with plenty of lovely things to see (and buy) and a chocoholics dream. Plenty to see and do in the surrounding area too.
