    First time watching your vid, loved it! I go to Europe a few times every year and the past 4 years go to Christmas Markets. I prefer the smaller ones rather than the larger markets. Like the feel at the smaller ones with more locals and less tourists.

    Very well done, very fun. I have to admit, I have always wanted to go to the German Christmas markets, but this might change my mind -- Alsace first????? Best.

    Hi Christina... So glad I found your videos as I have also become a Christmas Market junkie. I was also in Alsace over Thanksgiving weekend 2019, and had the same exact experience with Riquewihr -- We were forced to turn around because the crowds were absolutely insane. My advice is to visit the markets midweek. For me, I loved Eguisheim and Colmar best (We were based in a Colmar Airbnb for 3 nights). I also spent a night in Strasbourg. In my case, I was most disappointed in Strasbourg -- the smaller villages offer so much more! I just booked my trip to Munich and Austria for next December (December 4-14). Want to meet up? Have you been to Lake Wolfgang yet? It was my favorite place and I'm excited to return. Also, the franziskischlössl adventmarkt in Saltzburg shouldn't be missed. Lastly, the Krampus run in Munich on December 6 is really super-cool. Happy Travels! Kecia

    To all americans, russians, britains, chinese, japanese, germans, etc...... stop traveling to Paris : Paris is DEAD If you want to meet true frenchs, you will no more find them in Paris. In alsace you have also exelent food and the best withe wine on earth ...... Alsace is also exelent "drop point" to have days in expensive Switzerland or Germany Hello from Alsace to the world
