Tips & Advice
- Check the 'Stiefel gesucht!' details carefully; children need to bring their second shoe to ensure correct pairing when picking up their filled boot.
- For the 'Weihnachtswunschbaum' (Christmas Wish Tree), gifts must be dropped off at the Tourist Information by December 12th to ensure timely delivery by Santa.
- Consider using the 'Bürgerbus' for easier access to the Christmas market, especially if mobility is a concern; book your ride in advance on specific dates.
- The 'Sterntaler' lottery is a great incentive for shopping locally; keep your receipts for purchases over 25 Euros to enter.
- The Glückstädter Weihnachtskugel is a collectible item; pre-orders are not accepted, so plan to purchase it in person at designated locations starting late November.
