As I have reported in my
previous posts, the Christmas Market has been open here in Wiesbaden for a week and a half now. We usually visit the city centre daily with my daughter, but for some reason I was able to check the Christmas Market only yesterday.
Yes, the Christmas spirit was there, but somehow the market felt a lot smaller than last year. Maybe it was just less crowded, as it was Thursday afternoon, or maybe it was a mistake to visit the
market in Frankfurt first. I couldn't help but compare our local, cosy market to that of a bigger city.
But I'll show you a couple of photos, so that you can see for yourselves.

| The Christmas Market takes place around the Marktkirche |
 |
| The Christmas tree is certainly more beautiful here in Wiesbaden |
 |
| The carousel in Wiesbaden is smaller than in Frankfurt, but at least here you are able to get close enough to take a picture... |

| These 'light flowers' you can find all over the city centre |
 |
| The lights create the atmosphere when the sun is setting |

| The highlight: Sternschnuppen Rad at Mauritiusplatz |
