Tips & Advice

  • Allow time to visit several of the 20 open courtyards, because each host plans its own program of regional specialties, crafts and entertainment.
  • Make a point of seeing the Kupferklause and the Andreaskirchplatz, the two courtyards taking part in the Advent courtyard day for the first time this year.
  • Add the Christmas market on the Marktplatz to your route, since it is one of the 20 sites opening their doors on the day.
  • Dress warmly, because you will spend the day walking between open-air courtyards in the historic center in mid-December.

Special Events & Promotions

  • New this year: two courtyards join, the Kupferklause and the Andreaskirchplatz.
