Finnish-style Christmas Market Transforms Local Post Office
Laying down Finnish charms on Dresden's Postplatz
Step into a Nordic winter wonderland this Advent season as Dresden's Postplatz transforms with the arrival of the first Finnish Christmas village.
Feel the warmth emanating from open-fire flamed salmon and Finnish mulled wine, "Glögi", or indulge in other delicacies and artisanal goods hailing from the North. Sip on festive cocktails at the gin bar, or snuggle beside a crackling fire in a tipi tent.
As per market manager Olga Vallin, "In Finland, we tend to eat a substantial amount of fish for Christmas. We wanted to infuse that quieter, more family-oriented vibe into Dresden." A veggie-friendly potato dish is on the menu too. A serving of Glögi sets you back €5.
Scheduled to commence on November 30th, this Finland-inspired Christmas magic lingers on Postplatz until New Year's Eve. Planning a trip to Dresden this festive season? Consider yourself in for a treat!
