Tips & Advice
- Expect more demand for parking on Advent weekends, so head for the big Grieserwiese lot beside the market or the extra lots opened only then.
- Book your curling slot in advance by emailing the rink operator, because curling on the separate lane needs a prior reservation.
- Leave the car in the old town and ride the free Bockerlbahn from the Martinskirche stop, which runs every 15 minutes Friday to Sunday.
- Avoid planning your visit for Totensonntag, 22 November, when the Christkindlmarkt is closed and the Bockerlbahn doesn't run.
- Come in the evening to see the light projections on the Rathaus and the glowing walk-in XXL bauble in front of it, both great for photos.
