I travel a lot to Munich for work and it is a really lovely place. Two years ago I visited the Christmas market one evening and it was magical; freezing cold, icy underfoot and with the most beautiful Christmas decorations to buy. We bought gluhwein in mugs; you had to pay a deposit for the mug but I just kept mine and forfeited the deposit.

Last year when I was there at Christmas I briefly visited the Christmas Market at the airport with my German colleague but it wasn't quite the same in mild drizzle!! Their weather has been as unpredictable as ours...
