[quote=Anonymous]I used to live in Stuttgart so know a thing or two about Christmas markets. Stuttgart has a large market but it doesn’t have that much character. The best things there are the Finnish market which has a large tent with an open fire and a singing Santa. They also sell elk sausages and real smoked salmon. If you go to the market proper, you have to try a Blonger Engel; the best Christmas market drink there is IMO. There’s also a skating rink and some fairground rides. Try a Thuringer sausage in bread.

Esslingen, a short drive from Stuttgart, has a great medieval market, and the town center is much more attractive than Stuttgart. The food is slightly different though still meat and potato heavy. At the back of the market there is a small section of medieval fairground games which are great fun if you have kids.

The market in Ludwigsburg is small but in a very attractive square. You can also visit the palace while you are there. Take one of the tours of the palace.

Speyer Christmas market is also supposed to be good. Speyer is between Stuttgart and Frankfurt.
