When spangled, bejeweled and gilded join poached, scrambled and over easy, it can only mean one thing—Germany’s gorgeous Easter markets are underway! Be amazed at the transformation a simple egg can undergo at the hand of a talented and creative artisan, or pick up household or garden decor in keeping with the coming of the spring season. As always, double-check dates and prepare all the necessary COVID-19 immunization documentation prior to travel of any distance.
