    Christmas market
    by Mariajoy, 3 more photos
    It was a real treat just to wander around and experience the atmosphere here - it really feels Christmassy, despite the lack of snow! With twinkling lights, amazing aromas from all the lovely food and traditional German Christmas music they really know how to entice the shoppers! Stall holders were friendly and chatty and helpful and really benefitted from the huge amount of coach parties from England and other parts of Germany!

    The Christmas Market is full of stalls selling all kinds of Christmas things - wooden toys, handmade decorations, soap, perfume, woolen accessories, food, chocolate, Printen, Gluehwein, cards, ornaments, etc etc etc.

    The centre of Aachen is just choc-a-block with fabulous stores selling everything you could possibly live without ;-) There are large chain stores as well as many smaller independent boutiques and food shops. One day here just isn't enough! Due to the weather, there was a big rush on hats, gloves, scarves and umbrellas on the day we were here.

    Muellers is a large store currently selling all things Christmassy, as well as stationery and toys and accessories at very reasonable prices. It was fully of busy shoppers - locals and tourists

    Depends on what you buy!. I bought gloves and a scarf for just under 16E.

    Another department-type store in the centre of Aachen - filled with more busy Christmas shoppers. The website lists all the major shops in Aachen and what they sell. Nanu-Nana isn't on the list, but it sells just about everything!

    I bought an umbrella.

    9E-20E for an umbrella.

    The Mayersche is the most famous, oldest and biggest library in Aachen with a perfect offer of books, etc. The store was rebuild in the 21th century with a very modern architecture based on steel and glass. On the 3rd floor is a great terrace to sit down and relax.

    Aachen city guide, of course ;-)

    Every shop in Aachen was beautifully decorated for Christmas ... they really know how to do this with style in Germany.

    Christmas decorations are of course everywhere at this time of year! You can buy beautiful handmade or mass produced decorations quite cheaply. There are just tooo many to choose from!

    I bought 10 little red and white handmade felt stars for 1E each!

    The Market is probably the best place to buy Printen in the Christmas season.

    Aachen is famous for its speciality "Printen" - a traditional gingerbread biscuit which comes in all shapes and sizes and with or without a chocolate coating.

    Various prices depending on the size and quantity of the biscuits you buy!

    Gluehwein is the traditional warm alcoholic beverage drunk at Christmas markets all over Germany on chilly winter days. Similar to mulled wine, there are stalls selling it by the glass thoughout the market for a couple of Euro and some stalls selling bottles to be taken home.

    A shop full of goodies ...
    by myriam_c
    The “Printe” is the Aachener “national baking product“. The name Printe is derived from the English term “to print“. In earlier times pressure moulds that were cut into wood were used for the Printen manufacturing. Those moulds gave the Printen their characteristic shapes. The baking recipe is still guarded by the Aachener Printen bakers as a “family secret”. The Printen specialty comes in many variations: hard and soft, with herbs, chocolate or nuts and in all kinds of shapes.
