Location
Tips & Advice
- Don't plan a Monday visit, because the market is closed every Monday during its run.
- Come on a Saturday or Sunday with children if you want an earlier start, since Saint Nicholas and his angel begin handing out stuffed animals sooner on weekends.
- Stay into the evening to join the Friedensaktion, when visitors light sparklers together for peace in front of the Pro Altstadt stand.
- Take the tram or bus to Kaiserplatz, which is only about 450 m from the market, so you avoid paying for city-centre parking.
- If you visit on December 13, the last day, arrive early, because the market closes sooner than usual that evening.
