German Christmas Markets

[*-SARIN-*]

So i'm taking the other half to Germany before Xmas to see some of the markets.  Does anyone have any experience on where to go?  I'm in Cornwall so i have to travel to fly from most regional airports which is no biggie.  Much appreciated.

Have you been to Germany before?
Most cities will have a Christmas market so it depends a bit on how far you wish to travel from the airport.
Mrs. Izan suggests Nuremberg, Heidelberg, Munich, or Bremen as her top choices.

Have fun

Yes been to Germany loads of time, Berlin, Bonn, Dresden, Dusseldorf, Padderborn, Stuttgart.  I was thinking of Cologne as it's in West Germany and the airport's close by, not that it bothers me but i rather not have an hour train journey the other end etc.  Thanks for your input.

Went to cologne for the Christmas markets a few years ago, and Berlin last year, in my opinion cologne was better, all the various ones were walkable, and there's a train direct from the airport that takes you straight to the main railway station

We flew from Gatwick with easyjet, though I believe there are flights from some regional airports, though you normally pay a bit more for the privilege, there's about six different markets, but all within walking distance of each other, the missus says it was definitely the best Christmas markets she's been to, and she's done quite a few lol

I'd go Bavaria, the Southerners are the best at decorating and celebrating.
