The weekend after our visit to the Regensburg Christmas market, we decided to stay close to home and venture out to the Amberg market, a mere 25 minutes from our town. Amberg is much smaller than Regensburg (yet bigger than Vilseck) so I had a feeling this market was going to be tiny. And guess what? I was right!
First off, I'm not hating on Amberg's Christmas market. It was nice and low key. BUT...it just wasn't my favorite. I suppose it's because I compared it to Regensburg's market but it was just too tiny for me. You could walk around the market in 10 minutes or less and be done. Definitely not an all night outing, at least not for me. We probably spent about 30 minutes at the market and then decided to head back home. There just wasn't much there that interested us. Maybe two food stalls and one glühwein stall. It definitely wasn't our scene.
With that being said, I did take a few pictures. The decorations were pretty and crafts were cute but nothing compared to my beloved Regensburg (can you tell I fell in love with that market?). Here are some photos of the market:
I think the Amberg Christmas market, or any other small town market for that matter, is better suited towards people who are looking for a very low key setting. But Nick and I definitely prefer the larger markets (just not the crowds!).
What type of Christmas markets do you prefer?
