Stralsunder Weihnachtsmarkt
Staged across Stralsund's UNESCO World Heritage Old Town, the event spans the Alter Markt, Neuer Markt, the historic Rathauskeller, and Johanniskloster. Visitors can enjoy live music, readings, and community singing in the Kulturzelt on the Alter Markt, or browse handcrafted items by over forty regional artisans in the gothic vaulted cellar of the town hall. The Neuer Markt features fairground rides and an ice rink for skating, while the Johanniskloster offers a medieval atmosphere with historical craft stalls, theater, and fire art.
