Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on Saturday or Sunday to experience the market before the largest crowds, especially if you want to get a closer look at the artisan stalls.
- Check the schedule for the 'Nikolausbesuch' (St. Nicholas visit) and live music performances to plan your visit around these highlights.
- Bring cash, as many smaller vendors at local markets may not accept card payments.
- Consider exploring the area around St. Felicitas Church before or after the market to discover more of Lüdinghausen's charm.
- The food stands remain open longer than the market stalls, so you can enjoy dinner after browsing the crafts.
