Einbecker Weihnachtsdorf

Set against historic half-timbered facades in the old town, the market fills the area with festive music and the aromas of spiced mulled wine and roasted almonds. Visitors can capture memories at four designated photo points and enjoy live musical performances. A stockbahn is also set up on-site for winter fun.

Tips & Advice

  • Bring a phone or camera for the four photo points set up among the lights, where you can take photos to remember the visit.
  • Save December 23 for an evening visit, because the Weihnachtsdorf stays open late that night before it closes for Christmas.
  • Don't plan a visit from December 24 through December 26, because the Weihnachtsdorf closes on those days and opens again on December 27.
  • On Sundays the market opens later in the day than on other days, so plan Sunday visits for the afternoon and evening.
  • Dress warmly, since the Weihnachtsdorf is an open-air market on the old-town Marktplatz among the half-timbered houses.
