Christmas market

Every year from the end of November until 23rd December you will find a popular Christmas market in the center of Dortmund. It features more than 300 stalls and of course there are Christmas lights everywhere.

One big attraction is the giant Christmas tree which is made of many normal sized trees. It's the biggest Christmas tree in Germany at least with 45 meters height.

Smoking in restaurants

Since smoking has been banned in restaurants in Germany it has become difficult for smokers. Being a non-smoker I don't actually care.

But the thing is that some small restaurants have declared themselves smoking clubs for members only. This one is located near the postoffice behind Dortmund railway station.

Mezzo Mix

This kind of lemonade can only be found in Germany. It's a coke mix with orange flavour. I first tasted it here in Dortmund.
