For the ybig resident in Germany - how likely are the Christmas Markets to go ahead this year ? Is there a sense of a return to normality in Germany yet ?

I've not seen anything yet about the markets here in Munich. Other large cities such as Hamburg / Berlin may have different plans.

The Oktoberfest in normal times would have started tomorrow.

You need to be vaccinated, recovered or have a negative test to enter restaurants / bars etc. Even need it now to go into the library. Still sticking to the outdoors. Public transport is getting busier and people more likely to sit beside you now. Masks are compulsory though changed from FFP2 to Medical.I think clubs are still closed.

Cheers for that - went to the Christmas Market in Dusseldorf in 2019 with the wife, thinking of bringing the kids this time (not necessarily Dusseldorf). From the little bit of research I've done it seems the cities are planning and promoting the markets but with caveats that they may be cancelled at short notice. I'm still reluctant to book flights until things are a little clearer.

Last year I think they were cancelled less than a month beforehand.
One thing they would have to do is regulate access like they have done at the biergartens. Pain having to queue

As a result of the increase in 7-day incidence, Munich have today just cancelled the large Christkindlmarkt which is held at Marienplatz. It was due to start next week. I reckon that will mean that most of not all the local ones will be cancelled as well

I'm concerned that, with the numbers getting worse both here and at home,  that I won't be back for the final . If it involves having to isolate then that would make it a no-go

The numbers are not as bad in the north of Germany, so maybe Hamburg is a poss for you

Numbers are also on the increase in Berlin. In German but the numbers should be clear enough

Not sure if the situation will change but at the moment you look ok. However numbers are climbing quickly all over Germany. Parliament mtg today and the expectation is for further restrictions to be outlined possibly from tomorrow.

Anyway (German) it says they will open only for fully vaccinated or recovered (2G). If you see 3G it means that a negative test is also sufficient. However nearly everywhere is moving to the more restrictive 2G

The latest info I could fine in English
