Know Before You Go

  • Tickets: Free.
  • Hours: Monday–Thursday: 11:00–20:00; Friday and Saturday: 11:00–21:00; Sunday: 13:00–20:00; special opening December 23 until 23:00.

Tips & Advice

  • Bring a phone or camera for the four photo points set up among the lights, where you can take photos to remember the visit.
  • Save December 23 for an evening visit, because the Weihnachtsdorf stays open late that night before it closes for Christmas.
  • Don't plan a visit from December 24 through December 26, because the Weihnachtsdorf closes on those days and opens again on December 27.
  • On Sundays the market opens later in the day than on other days, so plan Sunday visits for the afternoon and evening.
  • Dress warmly, since the Weihnachtsdorf is an open-air market on the old-town Marktplatz among the half-timbered houses.
