Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on opening day to experience the market before the largest crowds, especially if you want to get a closer look at unique artisan crafts.
- Bring cash for smaller vendors, as not all artisans may accept card payments, ensuring you don't miss out on any special finds.
- Dress warmly in layers, as the event takes place outdoors and can be chilly, especially in the evenings. Consider bringing a scarf and gloves.
- Take advantage of the dedicated kids' activities, such as decorating ornaments and icing cookies, to keep younger attendees entertained and engaged.
- Explore the food offerings beyond bratwurst and pretzels; sample the Gluhwein (mulled wine) for a truly authentic taste of a European Christmas market.
