Tips & Advice

  • The market only happens on the third Advent weekend, so set aside that Friday to Sunday if you want to catch it.
  • Plan to move between the Volksbühne, the front of the Marktturm and the St. Johanniskirche, since the cultural and music program is spread across all three.
  • Leave room in your bag for presents, as the arts and crafts stalls sell both decorative and practical things.
  • Dress warmly for a December weekend outdoors so you can linger at the huts around the St. Johanniskirche as long as you like.
