Weihnachtsmarkt is a traditional street market associated with the Christmas celebration. I had been there once with my school friends and it was really a great experience. For me, the highlight is the Glühwein (winter wine). It is a warm alcoholic drink traditional made available during the Advent through the Christmas time.
Yesterday was the last day for the Weihnachtsmarkt at the Wasserturm in Mannheim City. It usually opens to the public from 11am until 11pm. We drove there around 8pm and parked right below the Wasserturm. Coming from Canada, we expected the night to be really cold so we wrapped-up warm enough. However, it turned out not to be that cold.
The place was well-lit with the lavish festive lights. It was quite crowded but manageable. The market showcased a wide variety of products and quite a number of fast food and winter drinks stalls.
Here are the scenes I captured.
