Tips & Advice

  • Visit before the Christmas Eve exception if you want to browse the market huts, since only the ice rink is open that day.
  • Plan a separate visit if skating is a priority, as the ice rink is closed on December 10.
  • On December 26, expect refreshment stalls and the ice rink to be open, while other market huts may not be operating.
  • Use Parkhaus Domhof or Tiefgarage Stadtmitte for parking; the Domhof car park is open on Sundays and public holidays.
  • Visit the merchandise huts earlier in the day, because the Christmas-decoration sales huts close before the market does.
