  • Don't plan your visit for Sunday, November 22, because the market stays closed on Totensonntag.
  • Pair a mulled wine with roasted almonds or gingerbread, the classic treats sold at the stalls on the Marktplatz.
  • Visit after dark to see the festive lights sparkling over the Marktplatz while the music plays.
  • Dress warmly for an evening outdoors, since the whole market is set up in the open on the central Marktplatz.
