Tips & Advice
- Come on a Friday or Saturday if you want more time to browse, since the market stays open later on those days than during the week.
- Plan longer visits around December 13, 15 and 23, when the market closes earlier than on its other days.
- Bring the kids on December 11, when the Kinderschmiede on Haidplatz lets them forge their own lucky horseshoe to take home.
- Walk between Haidplatz and Kohlenmarkt, since both squares have live music, from Irish folk and New Orleans jazz to blues and acoustic country.
- Leave time for the "Touché" art exhibition in the Thon-Dittmer-Palais courtyard and the Sigismundkapelle, which runs alongside the market.
