Strasbourg Christmas Market

Strasbourg/Karlsruhe Christmas Markets

Shelby had the day off so we headed over to Strasbourg, France which is supposed to be one of the biggest Christmas markets in the country. It was huge with several small market areas spread out all over the city. It was beautifully lit but very, very crowded. We thought there would be more rides for the kids, but poor Colin didn't get to ride anything. There was one carousel there and we passed it up thinking there would be a lot more in the kids Christmas village area. Turns out there was just toys and crafts and things for the kids to do in that area, so poor guy didn't get to ride anything at all at the market. It is definitely a market to hit during the week so you can enjoy the booths and food, Saturday was just a little too crazy. After Strasbourg we decided we had time to hit another market up and try to get Colin a ride or two, so we drove back into Germany and went to Karlsruhe. We stuck out again there as they had no rides for the kiddos either. Colin did enjoy watching the ice skaters and checking out the huge Christmas pyramid there.
