From the owner: Jährlich strömen Hunderttausende von Besuchern aus nah und fern herbei, um sich hier in die Zeit…read moreder Pferdekutschen, Edelmänner und Hofdamen entführen zu lassen. Und auch die einheimische Bevölkerung kann sich der Faszination dieses geschichtsträchtigen Ortes nicht entziehen. Ständig steigende Besucherzahlen sind hierfür eindrucksvoller Beleg. Die malerische Kulisse von St. Emmeram verleiht dem "Romantischen Weihnachtsmarkt auf Schloss Thurn und Taxis zu Regensburg" eine unvergleichliche Atmosphäre. Im Schutze der imposanten Schlossfassade erstrahlt der Innenhof durch Tausende von Kerzen, Laternen und Fackeln in einem weichen, stimmungsvollen Licht. Inmitten des liebevoll herausgeputzten Dorfes aus weihnachtlich dekorierten Holzhäuschen ragt ein mächtiger, prachtvoll geschmückter Weihnachtsbaum hervor. Immer wieder mischt sich I. D. Fürstin Gloria von Thurn und Taxis zusammen mit ihrer Familie zwanglos unter die Gäste.

I used to work there for several years and, although I have seen this place day by day - hours by…read morehours it was stayed a very romantic and beautiful Christmas Market. The scenery itself is unique. They have a broad variety of different foods such as German sausages, Sauerkraut, Glühwein (mulled wine), etc. Moreover, there you can buy everything for Christmas - from funny luminous Santa-Style caps to high quality woodcarvings. It is one of the most beautiful Christmas Markets in this part of Germany. It gets just four stars because the stalls, which sell underwear, socks, and bags destroy a little bit the atmosphere. Although it is funny to see such stuff on a Xmas market.

A fabulous festival in the outskirts of Munich. I call it a mini Oktoberfest without the huge…read morecrowds :-) I must admit I really enjoyed the atmosphere, Festbier and the food was excellent. It was a rainy day and we decided to drop in and check it out. I only heard about this recently from friends and, going on a not so busy day, was a great idea. We parked about 50m from the festival and it cost €2.80 for 4 hours :-)) There are a number of rides, game stalls for kids and adults. Lots of small food places selling the usual festival fare commonly seen throughout Bavaria like candied nuts, chocolate coated fruits, Brezen, sausages and so on. There are also three or four beer tents with a capacity of not more than a few hundred people and one big one with the Bavarian band and so on. They also had a couple of cocktail bars around just to make it a bit more interesting. We ended up in the big tent and they served a darker festbier which was really nice. The food here was also excellent and service quick. We had taken friends that had arrived from Australia here and they loved it too. I specially loved the Schwineshaxe....tender meat and crispy cracking...yummmm :-) I would happily come back here next year. The festival runs for about 2 weeks during this time of year.
