点评:The Christmas Markets of Strasbourg have been on our bucket list since starting to explore the Christmas Markets of Europe and we are glad we finally made it. There are between 10-12 Christmas Markets throughout the city centre and they all kind of blend together but the ones we would recommend to family and friends are the ones at Place Kleber, Place de la Cathedral (by Strasbourg Cathedral), and Petite France. Each market has a variety of specialized vendors so it is worth visiting each one to find what you like. One of the best things about the markets is that all items sold have to be produced locally so you will find some very specialized products. The whole city is in on the Christmas Markets and many shops, restaurants and streets will have themes and decorations throughout Strasbourg so it is nice walking around at day or night.
We booked a guided tour through Get Your Guide with One City Tours on Christmas Eve. The guide helped make sense of the markets and showed us special vendors at each market including where to get get chocolate, mulled wine, foie gras, schnapps and many other things. Surprisingly though the oldest market Christkindelsmärik at Place Broglie might be the least exciting of the markets we saw.
We arrived Christmas Eve but would recommend getting here early to explore the Christmas Markets if you can because the markets close at 6 pm Christmas Eve and some may sell out of items closer to this day. You can easily spend two or more hours exploring the markets. The markets sit alongside major landmarks in Strasbourg and many are worth their own time exploring. We would recommend staying in Strasbourg for a couple of days to get the full feel for the market and get prepared for a lot of walking and festive feels.
翻译:自从开始探索欧洲的圣诞市场以来,斯特拉斯堡的圣诞市场就一直是我们的愿望清单之一,我们很高兴终于实现了这个愿望。市中心大约有10到12个圣诞市场,它们彼此之间风格迥异,但我们最推荐给亲朋好友的是克莱贝尔广场(Place Kleber)、大教堂广场(Place de la Cathedral,位于斯特拉斯堡大教堂旁)和小法兰西(Petite France)的圣诞市场。每个市场都有各种各样的特色摊位,所以值得每个市场都逛逛,找到自己喜欢的东西。这些市场最棒的地方之一是所有商品都必须是本地生产的,因此你会发现一些非常独特的产品。整个城市都沉浸在圣诞市场的氛围中,斯特拉斯堡的许多商店、餐厅和街道都会布置成不同的主题,装饰一新,所以无论白天还是晚上漫步其中都别有一番风味。
我们在平安夜通过Get Your Guide预订了One City Tours的导览游。导游帮我们理清了各个市场,并带我们找到了每个市场的特色摊位,包括哪里可以买到巧克力、热红酒、鹅肝、烈酒等等。不过,令人惊讶的是,位于布罗格利广场(Place Broglie)的圣诞市场(Christkindelsmärik)虽然历史悠久,却是我们参观过的所有市场中最不吸引人的。
我们平安夜到达,但建议您尽可能早点来逛逛圣诞市场,因为市场在平安夜下午6点就关门了,而且临近关门时,有些商品可能会售罄。逛市场很容易就能花上两三个小时。这些市场毗邻斯特拉斯堡的主要地标,很多都值得您花时间去探索。我们建议您在斯特拉斯堡待上几天,才能充分感受市场的氛围,并做好长时间步行和沉浸在节日气氛中的准备。
