    Why Go There?

    End of November until shortly before Christmas

    The floating christmas market in Emden, the "Engelkemarkt", is unique in Germany. The East Frisian sea port city annually turns into a magical Christmas place.

    Nowhere in Germany, is there such a wonderful combination of festive atmosphere and maritime flair. The christmas market of Emden is in the middle of the city centre and is to large extent on floating pontoons in the port.

    Against the scenic backdrop of the floodlit city hall, the contemplative crafted Christmas village is surrounded by museum ships and tall ships (where you even can stay).

    The unmistakable scent of almonds, spices and gingerbread, cinnamon and vanilla, mulled wine and grog represent that its Christmas time at the sea! As a port city, there is also fish in all variations.

    Who wants to experience a slightly different christmas market once should visit the one in Emden.
