Dresden Striezelmarkt is Germany's oldest continuously operating Christmas market, established in 1434, making it 592 years old in 2026. Its centerpiece is a 14-meter Christmas pyramid, and the market is synonymous with Dresden Stollen, a fruitcake baked to a secret recipe. Older than #1 Nuremberg by nearly 200 years, Dresden's market offers a historic atmosphere unmatched elsewhere, with over 230 stalls spread across the Altmarkt. The Stollen Festival in December distributes a giant cake weighing over 3 tonnes.
