Christmas Markets
I'll be in Germany this weekend until Tuesday, and I was wondering what Christmas Markets would be open on Monday November 25th.
I know Heidelberg would be open for sure and probably Aachen, but I would like to know which else (especially in the Baden-Württemburg, Rheinland-Pfalz area).

For BW, I got Heidelberg, Baden-Baden, Freiburg, and Ulm for Christmas markets open on the 25th. I'll probably shoot for Baden-Baden since I've never been there.
I would stay longer, but I gotta the traditional American Thanksgiving I need to get home for.

Actually, according to this page (http://www.germany-christmas-market....palatinate.htm), Koblenz, Cochem, Bernkastel-Kues, and Trier should be open.
I'll try for one of those since they're closer to Frankfurt.

When does Rothenberg (at the intersection of the Romantic and Castle Roads) open? I would guess it to be as early as Heidelberg.

RothenbErg is a tiny village in the Odenwald Hills and I doubt they even have a Christmas market.
You probably mean RothenbUrg ob der Tauber. Their Christmas markets begins on Nov 29.
Pforzheim is another "early bird" that opens on Monday Nov 25.

I have a 13 hours layover in FRA, so I was thinking about stay in FCL for a while, then airport tour at 1pm (45 min), and head to the christmas market in Frankfurt.
What train should I take from FRA ?
Someone said get a train which goes to Hauptwache (two stops beyond the main station - Hauptbahnhof), is it the same one I can catch from FRA ? I need a little bit more direction.

The market at the Marienplatz (city hall) is open that day from 10 AM to 2 PM. Take either S-Bahn line from the airport to the Marienplatz station (no need to change lines en route). If your flight is on time, you should get there before noon.
