Aschaffenburg, Germany

  • Crowded German Christmas market at dusk

Set between the Main river and the edge of the Spessart forest lies Aschaffenburg. After its start as a Roman settlement, the city served as an important residence of the Archbishops of Mainz, a connection that endured for more than 800 years. Their influence is best seen in the Johannisburg Palace, an impressive landmark of Renaissance architecture that stands along the river bank. At Christmastime, the square below ushers in the holiday season with festive stalls and lights, while the aroma of mulled wine and seasonal specialties fill the air.
