1. Weinachtsmarkt: An authentic German market
Montreal’s only traditionally German Christmas market is to be found in St. John’s Lutheran Church, just off Place des Arts. Here visitors delight in browsing - and buying - handmade Christmas crafts created in the age old European tradition. There's also German inspired cuisine to enjoy, in the shape of sausages, sauerkraut and of course a glass of mulled wine.
