The Christmas market at Münsterplatz (which, together with the market at Barfüsserplatz has been voted "Best Christmas Market in Europe 2021") is absolutely magical with the beautifully decorated giant Christmas tree and snowflake-like lights hanging from the chestnut trees throughout the square. It is also lined with goods and food stands, making it a great place to look for gifts and indulge in some of the traditional foods, such as crêpes, fondue, raclette, Flammkuchen (a type of Alsatian pizza topped with thick cream, onions, and bacon), and “Kartoffelpuffer”—a type of potato pancake served with either applesauce, chili sauce, or garlic sauce.
