The Aachen Christmas Market or the&nbsp;<strong><em>Weihnachtsmarkt&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>(German) is considered one of the most picturesque markets in Germany. The market extends to several squares across the city center. Come hungry and with your shopping list! There are plenty of stalls offering gifts, food, and of course drinks! We started with a warm mug of&nbsp;<strong><em>Gl\u00fchwein<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;(mulled wine). Served in an adorable boot-shaped mug, it makes the perfect souvenir to take home. When you purchase the&nbsp;<strong><em>Gl\u00fchwein,&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>you also pay for a deposit. Just in case you don&#8217;t want to keep the mug, you can return it and get your deposit back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Glu%CC%88hwein-2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" data-attachment-id=\"8137\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/diningtraveler.com\/glu%cc%88hwein-2\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Glu%CC%88hwein-2.jpg?fit=800%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,450\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1638185587&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Glu\u0308hwein-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Glu%CC%88hwein-2.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Glu%CC%88hwein-2.jpg?fit=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Glu%CC%88hwein-2.jpg?resize=696%2C392&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Aachen Christmas Market 2021 Gluhwein\" class=\"wp-image-8137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Glu%CC%88hwein-2.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Glu%CC%88hwein-2.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Glu%CC%88hwein-2.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Glu%CC%88hwein-2.jpg?resize=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Glu%CC%88hwein-2.jpg?resize=747%2C420&amp;ssl=1 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eating &amp; Drinking at the Aachen Christmas Market <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel that German cuisine doesn&#8217;t get the love it deserves sometimes compared to its other European neighbors. I lived in Stuttgart for a year and fell in love with the bread, cheese, and sausages. So, of course, I couldn&#8217;t resist buying a plate of currywurst, chopped sausage with a tangy curry-laced tomato sauce, and crispy fries. It also presents the opportunity to indulge in a proper German pilsner! Like I mentioned before, bring your appetite because there are plenty of treats at the Aachen Christmas Market! You can&#8217;t leave without a warm apple strudel, and there are plenty of stalls selling cookies, chocolates, and candies you can bring home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Currywurst-1-2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" data-attachment-id=\"8136\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/diningtraveler.com\/currywurst-1-2\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Currywurst-1-2.jpg?fit=800%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,450\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1638185388&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Currywurst 1-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Currywurst at the Aachen Christmas Market 2021&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Currywurst-1-2.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Currywurst-1-2.jpg?fit=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Currywurst-1-2.jpg?resize=696%2C392&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Currywurst at the Aachen Christmas Market 2021\" class=\"wp-image-8136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Currywurst-1-2.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Currywurst-1-2.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Currywurst-1-2.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Currywurst-1-2.jpg?resize=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Currywurst-1-2.jpg?resize=747%2C420&amp;ssl=1 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Currywurst at the Aachen Christmas Market 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical Tips for the Aachen Christmas Market 2021<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I highly recommend coming on a weekday. We went on a Wednesday night by car from Brussels, and it was a pretty smooth ride. However, we hear there can be horrible traffic getting into the city on the weekends, arriving by train may a better option. We could find parking easily at a parking garage just a twenty-minute walk from the <a href=\"https:\/\/aachenweihnachtsmarkt.de\/en\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aachen Christmas Market<\/a>. Make sure to bring cash since some vendors don&#8217;t accept cards! Also, don&#8217;t forget your ID, COVID vaccine information, your mask, and most importantly, your appetite!
