With not one –but two - Christmas markets, Marburg, Germany has more than its share of holiday spirit.
What’s a Christmas market? Throughout Europe, you can find these longstanding outdoor holiday celebrations, where you can buy gifts, sip mulled wine, dine on bratwurst and enjoy the bustle amid twinkling lights.
Marburg, where CSL Behring has a large facility, made this travel blogger’s list of off-the-beaten path Christmas markets.

Adding to the cheery mood in Marburg, the city also brought people together for an outdoor sing-along concert.
