Engelkemarkt Emden
Visitors stroll through a festive Christmas village stretching along the Ratsdelft and the Stadtgarten, centered around a large pyramid serving hot punch and mulled wine. Decorated stalls feature holiday treats, while historic ships moored in the harbor welcome guests for warm drinks and snacks. Starting in December, children can meet Santa Claus each afternoon and watch the daily opening of the Advent calendar door.
