584th Dresden Striezelmarkt
Glittering lights, twinkling stars, beaming children’s faces, mulled wine,the scent of gingerbread, and Christmas carols – Dresden’s Striezelmarktboasts a unique character, despite being in its 584th year. Regional specialities, such as Ore Mountain wood crafts, Lusatian blue-printedfabrics and Moravian stars, are particularly popular. And a piece of Original Dresdner Christstollen fruit loaf in the light of the step pyramidfrom the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) is of course another must.

In terms of retail space per inhabitant, Dresden is well above the nationalaverage, and has an important position as a shopping city beyond theregion’s borders. The longest shopping street stretches from the mainstation to the castle – with international fashion brands, shopping gal-leries and lifestyle products. Luxury goods can be found by the Frauen-kirche or in the baroque district around Königstrasse, on the other side ofthe Elbe. In the centre, you will find not only valuable traditional productsfrom the region (from Ore Mountain carvings to Meissen porcelain) butalso inexpensive souvenirs. If, by contrast, you want something odd orunusual, the trendy Outer Neustadt district is the perfect place to go. But apleasant shopping experience is still a top priority even beyond the hustleand bustle of the city, in the narrow streets of Pirna and Meissen’s OldTowns or among the little half-timbered houses of Altkötzschenbroda.
