Everybody how you doing John here from in the loop travel and we are in Frankfurt Germany today we are cruising all week in Germany on a river cruise and in this video I’m going to show you all the exciting things you can do at the Christmas markets in Germany a

Christmas markets river cruise is the very best way to enjoy the holiday season here you can get to so many places in one week to see as many of the Charming markets as possible I’m sailing with transcend cruises on its ship transcend advance and we stopped in a new place

Every day here are six great things to do at the markets number one ride the rides these bus hustling markets offer a mix of rides and attractions we saw carousels at every stop plus you might find cute little train tracks or even a ferris Wheel we hopped on for a Carousel Ride in Frankfurt they’re for kids of all Ages Number two eat the food for me this is the top highlight of the Christmas markets there are so many delicious options including Sweet Treats we saw all kinds of goodies like the variety of tempting sausages hand cut fruits Crepes cookies nuts candies and marzipan we also tried the regional

Specialties like langos a fried dough that gets all kinds of toppings and rukin I’m not That’s so we’ve been noticing everyone at the Market’s eating these potato pancakes nice fried potato pancakes and they’ve been raving about them so it’s our turn to try the rukin pairs perfectly with a German Beer number three drink the glue wine a traditional Christmas Market staple is glue wine and the hot spiced wine comes in red white and even Rosé we also saw a number of other hot drinks like hot Chardonnay hot reesling a hot appol or a hot

Hugo by the end of the week we had tried the whites and reds in Sil markets one of the great traditions in getting a hot spiced wine we’re going to order a couple of glue wine try glue wine yeah what do have vice vice oh no no Road one one one one

Vice one white one red yes a recommendation bring plenty of Euros to the markets it’s easier to make purchases as some vendors don’t take credit cards and things can be quite busy around the Stalls also you pay deposit about €3 for the mugs but they are yours to keep as a

Souvenir if you don’t want your deposit back we spent most of our cash on Wine and Food obviously number four go shopping the markets are a great place to pick up gifts that will feel extra special when you give them to friends and family vendors are selling all kinds of

Handcrafted Delights like ornaments nutcrackers handcarved incense smokers and scars Do it that way my pickle okay number five go day and night the markets feature a different feel depending on whether you are there during the day or at night daytime is a little more relaxed and easier to navigate before the crowds come out at night to fill the town squares and enjoy

More robust meals and drinking at night is when you see the lights which give the markets an even warmer and more festive feel we usually stop by the markets in late afternoon to get that last bit of daylight and then also we could enjoy the vibrant night scenes Finally take a river cruise I’m convinced that this is the absolute best way to thoroughly enjoy the Christmas markets we went with the new Cruise Line transcend cruises on our trip in Germany your home is a luxurious ship filled with a number of fantastic amenities so
