Tips & Advice
- Come by train or bus, because the tent is 700 metres from Lübeck Hauptbahnhof and parking near the Holstentor isn't guaranteed during the Christmas market.
- Buy at the circus box office or the Tourist-Info at Holstentor to pay the original prices, because other outlets, the hotline and online sales can add fees.
- Bring ID when buying reduced tickets for children, students, pensioners or people with disabilities, because discounts can't be added after you've paid.
- Book the Family & Friends package early if you want four seats in Rang A or Rang C, since only a limited number of packages are available.
- Bring a card for the Café des Artistes, where card payment is preferred, and reserve a table if you want to eat before the show.
