Tips & Advice

  • Visit on a Friday or Saturday if you want an evening stroll, because the market stays open later on those days than the rest of the week.
  • Come between Christmas and 6 January if you miss Advent, because the market keeps going as a Wintermarkt after the holidays.
  • Plan an earlier visit on 24 or 31 December, because the market closes early on both days.
  • Bring the kids to the Sternbräu courtyard, where they can see the living nativity scene and the fairy tales.

Special Events & Promotions

  • After Christmas it carries on as a Wintermarkt through 6 January.
  • Shorter opening hours on 24 and 31 December.
