About
Frankfurt's Christmas market runs as one long string of stalls through the old center, with a giant tree on Römerberg square. Kids ride the carousels, try Bethmännchen (marzipan with three almonds) and spot trees decorated by local children. For families, the stretch to aim for is the kids' market on the Mainkai by the river, with a craft room, a historic carousel and a lit-up Christmas ship.
