In Germany, the winter vacation period is called “Weihnachtsferien” or “Winterferien” and it usually takes place in late December and early January. The exact dates of the winter vacation can vary from state to state, but it typically lasts for two weeks and includes the Christmas and New Year holidays. Schools, universities, and many businesses are closed during this time, and many people take advantage of the break to travel or spend time with family and friends. If you’re planning a trip to Germany during the winter vacation period, be aware that popular tourist destinations can be crowded and accommodation can be more expensive.
