Bern Münster Christmas Market
Visitors can explore stalls featuring exclusively handcrafted, one-of-a-kind items made in the artisans' own workshops, including pottery, glass art, woodwork, textiles, jewelry, and natural cosmetics. At the Mix-Hüsli huts, emerging artisans present their own rotating collections throughout the market. Dining at the Märit-Kulturbeiz Dreierlei includes cheese fondue, hearty stews, and sharing platters inside a cozy wooden hut, along with sausages, garlic bread, and red or white mulled wine outdoors.

Tips & Advice
- Come back more than once, since the young makers in the Mix-Hüsli change every week and bring new work each time.
- Stay on after the stalls close, because the Dreierlei hut keeps serving fondue, stews and mulled wine into the evening.
- It is a 10 to 15 minute walk from Bern station, or take a tram or bus to Zytglogge and stroll down Münstergasse.
- If you drive, the Metro, Casino and Rathaus car parks are close by, and Parkingbern.ch helps you find a space.
- Time a visit for November 29, December 5–6 or December 19–20 to add the Handwerkermärit on the Münsterplattform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of goods are sold?
Only one-of-a-kind pieces made in the artisans' own workshops, with nothing bought in. Expect pottery and ceramics, wood turning, glass, textiles, jewelry, natural cosmetics, candles, handmade paper and dolls.
Will I meet the makers?
Yes. The artisans are required to be at their stalls for most of the market. They are largely the same people who have been working in their studios for weeks.
What are the Mix-Hüsli?
They are huts where young artisans show and sell their work for one week each, so the line-up changes during the market. Makers who want a week can ask for the price and rental conditions.
What is there to eat and drink?
The Märit-Kulturbeiz Dreierlei serves hamburgers, bratwurst and garlic bread outside. Inside its wooden hut you'll find several cheese fondues, an apéro platter and stews. White and red mulled wine are served both inside and outside.
Where are the toilets?
There are public toilets at the entrance to the Münsterplattform and on the Bibliothekgässchen.
