Tips & Advice
- Check the specific dates and times for each market as they vary across the district; plan your visits in advance to make the most of the festive offerings.
- Arrive early to popular markets, especially on weekends, to enjoy the widest selection of unique crafts and artisanal products before they sell out.
- Bring cash for smaller vendors, as not all stalls may accept card payments, ensuring you don't miss out on any special finds.
- Look out for the "Christmas Magic Markets" competition at selected markets to vote for your favorite stall and enter a prize draw.
- Consider using public transport or carpooling to the markets, as parking can be limited, especially during peak times.
