Tips & Advice
- Take public transport if you can, because parking near Burg Alsdorf is very limited, and drivers are asked to use the Alsdorf Zentralparkplatz.
- Come on Friday, November 27, to see the Christmas parade travel from Annapark to the market for the official opening, which is bigger this year.
- Skip the Thursday pre-opening if you're mainly coming for the stage program, because the huts and tents open that day but no stage acts perform yet.
- Go on a weekend day if you want an earlier start, because the market opens earlier in the afternoon on weekends than on weekdays.
- Dress warmly, because the market is held outdoors in the Burgpark and stays open into the evening.
