Landshut Christmas Market

Landshut, the capital of Lower Bavaria, is an important historic city that rises along the banks of the Isar river between Munich, Regensburg and Passau. It was founded in the 13th century as a castle dominating a ford of the Isar river and soon became one of the most important cities in Bavaria; the period of maximum splendor occurred between the 14th and 15th centuries. The civil and religious buildings that still characterize Landshut today were built during this period.
The historic centre is crossed by the Altstadt along which numerous prestigious buildings are located, including the town hall (Rathaus) and the Residenz, while the two churches Martinskirche (the cathedral with its imposing bell tower that rises to 131 meters) and Heiliggeistkirche are situated at both ends of the street. The Neustadt is also very beautiful, overlooked by houses with beautiful Baroque facades. Among the buildings worth visiting is the Trausnitz fortress, which you definitely don't want to miss.
The Christmas Market (Landshuter Christkindlmarkt) will take place in the Freyung, the square in front of the St. Jodok church.
