Know Before You Go

  • Hours: Opening day 17–21 Uhr; Monday–Sunday 11–20 Uhr; Christmas Eve 9–12 Uhr. Individual stalls on the opening day may stay open until 22 Uhr.

Tips & Advice

  • Come on opening night if you like an evening market, since some stalls stay open later than the rest of the market that day.
  • Do any last-minute Christmas Eve shopping early, because the market is only open in the morning on that final day.
  • Keep an eye out for the 2026 stage program, as all market events take place on the Christkindlmarkt stage unless stated otherwise.
  • Dress warmly, since the stalls are set up outdoors on the Stadtplatz and the market stays open into the evening every day.
  • Take a moment to see St. Oswald parish church and the Jacklturm, which stand on either side of the market in the old town.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Opening day is an evening opening, and some stalls stay open later than the rest of the market.
