European Christmas Markets in cities like Strasbourg, Colmar, Mainz, Hamburg, Eguisheim, Münster and many more give Christmas a magical, fairytale feel. And Strasbourg especially so.

Strasbourg has crowned itself "The Capital of Christmas", and this French town might very well be so. Strasbourg is an Unesco world heritage site in the region called Alsace. A region that has been part of France and Germany, alternately, many times. This is partly why the EU has a presence of Government buildings in this town. The whole region is rich in exquisite half-timbered towns and villages, with names hinting to the shared German past. French Christmas Markets & German Christmas Markets rolled into one in this magnificent and beautiful city.

Strasbourg - Capitale de Noël.

This a night time walking tour of several spots in the city. What makes this european christmas market special is that the whole town is turned into Christmas Market. Just like in Colmar. The streets leading from market to market are decorated and illuminated. Of course the famous "Bear House" on the Rue des Tailleurs de Pierre (Stonemasons road). But it is everywhere. Along the river. In the window shops of little boutiques. On the facade of the great Galeries Lafayette Strasbourg (near Place Kléber).

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, indeed. Enjoy the wonderful Christmas Markets of Europe.

The "Bear House"
The famous facade of the cute bears on the stunning building. It is not called the Bear House, but we thought most would recognise such a description. It is located on "Rue Des Tailleur de Pierre". Tailleur: tailors. Pierre: stone. Stonemasons street. It sits in between the famour illuminated christmas arch "Porte d'entrée de la Capital de Noël" on Rue du Vieux-Marché-Poissons (the old fish markets) and the Cathedral Notre Dame.
The street has changed names many times. It was also called "Steinmetsgässel" because of the numerous stonecutters located around the Cathedral.
