Augustusmarkt Dresden - Weihnachtsmarkt

In the organizer's words:

The Augustusmarkt, Dresden's second largest Christmas market, has become a special highlight in the Elbe metropolis' Christmas landscape. With its young and international ambience and the fresh design of the white and gold illuminated pagodas, it presents itself as a 500-metre-long, cozy strolling Christmas market in the main street between Neustädter Markt and Albertplatz. It sets a unique and unmistakable accent in the Christmas land of Saxony. Attractions include the Blue Tree in the center of the market, the glittering golden Christmas tree on Gomondai Square and the huge Ferris wheel on Goldener Reiter with a fantastic view of the historic old town. In addition, there is a colorful selection of beautiful things and a culinary offer that, with its mixture of traditional and modern street food, offers a foray into Saxon and international cuisine.

The market is closed from December 24 to 26 and on January 1.
