Great old silver mining city with highly reputable university and has the largest mineral collections in Middle Europe. All building are nicely renovated in comparison to the East Germany Era. Many shops and restaurants are available for reasonable prices. The Christmas markt just started with a lot of Erzgebirgishe Delicacies, woodwork and craftwork. It is easy to go around walking, by bus. The train station is 15 minutes away. The bells of the adjacent church sounds every half hour as in the old medieval times. People everywhere are friendly and helpful and mostly speak English. Many cultural events are announced specially at Christmas time. Must visit the mineral Collection and the Shloss. Well known with their Stollen at Christmas time. Cafe Hartmann is a must with its traditional Marzipan delicacies. I would recommend visiting this great city anytime of the year.
