I love a German Christmas Village. But my passport is out of date. So? I wander to the Inner Harbor to get my gingerbread on.

What, you haven’t heard of the Christmas Village? It’s awesome! I was lucky enough to check it out last year before the grand opening, and I’m not ashamed to say I went back four more times. (What can I say – I love a good currywurst.)

Shopping, music, and of course lots of lovely German feels – can’t go wrong! Plus, this weekend? Totally free! (Okay, so it’s free on weekdays, but typically it’s $5 on the weekends…)

Read what they’ve got to say:
