About this Episode

If you've ever dreamed of visiting Germany during the holiday season, this episode is for you. I recently joined my friend Tracy Collins on the Global Travel Planning Podcast to talk all about Germany's magical Christmas markets.

We talk about what makes German Christmas markets so special, how to choose which markets to visit, what to eat, drink and buy, what to wear so you're comfortable any of time day, and how to avoid common tourist mistakes. I also share a few of my favorite Christmas markets, treats, and memories.

Something I love even more than working with our Germany travel planning clients is hearing about their trips after they've returned home! 

That's why today I’m talking with Anna, who went on an incredibly special 11-day trip to Germany with her mom. Not only did they visit stunning places like the Black Forest, the Moselle Valley, and Heidelberg, but they also traveled back to the tiny town where Anna was born while her dad was stationed in Germany. 

Anna shares what it was like to drive in Germany, sleep in a castle, revisit her childhood home, marvel at Germany's stunning architecture, and much more. Anna also shares her tips for planning your trip and enjoying your travels in Germany.
