【Germany】Esslingen.

Esslingen is a stunningly beautiful town with preserved medieval architecture, located just about 15 minutes by train from Stuttgart. There are few places where you can see so many historic timber-framed houses. The town feels like it has leapt straight out of a storybook—it's truly charming. Esslingen is particularly famous for its Christmas market. Thanks to the well-preserved medieval townscape, the market decorations and costumes are styled in a medieval fashion. This creates an atmosphere that feels like stepping back in time, which was truly delightful! Stadtkirche St. Dionys This church features two uniquely designed spires connected near their tops by a walkway—a distinctive architectural style you won't find elsewhere. The first church was built in the 8th century. During Esslingen's prosperous 13th century, the third reconstruction in Gothic style began, and the walkway connecting the spires was added in the 17th century to stabilize the towers. Esslingen is such an adorable town that I would love to visit again during a warm and pleasant season.
