Tips & Advice

  • Drop in for a mulled wine after Christmas shopping or after work, since the market sits right in the Kirchenstraße and Breite Straße pedestrian zone.
  • Plan a morning or early-afternoon visit on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, because the market closes early on both days.
  • On Sundays the market opens later in the day, so save weekday or Saturday mornings for an early stroll.
  • Dress warmly for an evening visit, as the stalls and seating are outdoors in the pedestrian zone.
