(Christmas Markets, I love you!)

One Christmas offer from Vip Limousine, personal rental with driver from Milan and operating throughout Italy, is a tour of the Christmas markets: with Christmas 2017 quickly approaching, Vip Limousine Milano will accompany you in the most beautiful localities of the Italian South Tyrol and even beyond the Italian border in Germany and Austria in splendidly new luxury cars with a driver and personalized itineraries.

A century’s-old tradition

Legend has it that the first Christmas markets were scattered throughout Germany by the 15th century a.d.

In Dresden, in present east Germany, the former east Germany block, the first Christmas market, the Striezelmarkt (‘Striezel’ market, named for the savory German sweet) in history took place the Monday before Christmas in 1434.

At the same time, the traditional market of Saint Nicolas in Alsace was taking shape.

Artists and artisans with their works displayed attracted the richest bourgeois of the time who even then loved to stroll among the artisan booths breathing in the Christmas cheer.

Over time, interest in Christmas markets would increase to the point of rendering them an icon of the German tradition, renowned throughout the world for the quality of the articles for sale, but above all for the atmosphere of cheerful peace that the markets have always evoked.

Christmas markets today

The phenomenon of the Christmas markets exploded at the end of the 1900s, almost a warm traditional response to an already palpable process of globalization of the world economy: already in the 90s the presence of the Christmas markets was strong in the major European cities, from those of the north to the south.

And, of course, following the tradition, we know well that a visit to the Tyrol markets, whether in Italy or abroad, is truly worth a trip.

A trip which with Vip Limousine can become a wonderful excursion, in a comfortable luxury car with driver, at your disposition for the entire day.

In the cities of Trento, Bolzano, and Merano, as well as Innsbruck, Zurich and Dresden and many other German cities during the month of the December, the atmosphere of the city is embellished with lights, colors, wonderful smells, and the songs of choirs and the traditional Christmas music.

All of this make Christmas markets the perfect embodiment of Christmas, packed with street shows and historical reenactments, in some cases truly moving: think about the staging of live nativity scenes, of illumination events that heat and color the historical centers, surrounded by the smells and tastes of Christmas that attract a growing number of visitors each year.
