Planning a Dresden Christmas trip? Start at the famed Striezelmarkt—then explore seven more markets like Neumarkt (by the Frauenkirche), Augustusmarkt, Stallhof’s medieval market, and Prager Straße’s Winterlichter. Get timing (late Nov–Dec; Striezelmarkt runs Nov 26–Dec 24, 2025), what to eat (stollen!), and practical tips for crowds, photos, and transport. 

Planning 2–3 days in Dresden? Start in the rebuilt Old Town—Frauenkirche, Zwinger, Royal Palace/Green Vault and the Procession of Princes—then stroll Brühl’s Terrace along the Elbe and cross to lively Neustadt for cafés and Pfunds Molkerei. Time a winter visit for the Striezelmarkt, Germany’s oldest Christmas market.
