- Stay until after dark to see the historic old town and its trees lit up with thousands of lights around St. Alexander Church.
- Stop at the Alexanderhaus for coffee and cake, then try the wild ragout or homemade Reibekuchen from the stalls for something savory.
- Order your Glühwein with or without a shot, and pick up a children's punch for the kids so everyone has something warm.
- Dress warmly, since the stalls are outdoors around the church and along Weststraße in the December evening air.
