I'm thinking about a weekend in Germany to visit a Christmas market.
Has anyone done this, and which do you recommend, or is the whole experience more hassle than it's worth?
Relevant:
I'd be going with 20yo shopaholic daughter.
I don't much like shopping - I'm looking for a bit of festive spirit. I don't necessarily want a huge market, but a nice one with hand made goods etc.
Would probably travel Fri-Mon or possibly Fri-Sun - fly or train depending on where we go.
Currently thinking maybe Hannover/Hamelin - fly out to Hanover on Friday, train to Hamelin Saturday, back to Hannover for Saturday night, Hannover market(s) Sunday and home Monday.

Would be good to hear about others' experiences.
