SUMMARY:Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt
DESCRIPTION:Germany’s most famous Christmas market\, on the Hauptmarkt\, with the Christkind’s opening prologue on Friday 27 Nov at 17:30. Daily 10:00 to 21:00\, opening day until 22:00\, Christmas Eve 10:00 to 14:00. The Sister Cities market runs until 23 Dec and the children’s market until 30 Dec. Hours as published by the organizer in October 2026; check the official site before you go. \nInsider tips\nThe opening is the moment everyone waits for: on Friday 27 November at 17:30 the Christkind reads the prologue from the church balcony above the Hauptmarkt\, and the square goes quiet to listen. It’s very popular\, so come early if you want to see it. To actually browse the stalls\, my tip is a weekday morning\, right after the 10:00 opening. Look for the children’s Christmas market (Kinderweihnacht) and the Sister Cities market\, where Nuremberg’s twin towns sell their own specialties. The Sister Cities market runs until 23 December\, and the children’s market keeps going until 30 December. Before you leave\, pick up some Nürnberger Lebkuchen\, the local spiced gingerbread\, and try Drei im Weggla (three little Nuremberg sausages in a roll). \nGetting there\nFrom Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof it’s about a 15- to 20-minute walk through the old town. Or take the U1 subway one stop to Lorenzkirche\, which is less than 5 minutes from the market on foot. Buses 37\, 46 and 47 stop at Rathaus\, right by the square. Signs with the Christkindlesmarkt logo show the way. Driving into the center isn’t recommended in Advent. \nNearby markets\nNuremberg makes a great base. The Bamberg Christmas Market\, the Würzburg Christmas Market and the Rothenburg Reiterlesmarkt are all easy day trips by regional train. \nSee every 2026 date in our guide to German Christmas markets\, and plan the rest of your stay with our Nuremberg travel guide.

SUMMARY:Bad Tölz Christkindlmarkt
DESCRIPTION:A market along the sloping\, painted Marktstraße of Bad Tölz. Daily 11:00 to 19:00\, Christmas Eve 10:00 to 14:00. St. Nicholas visits on 6 Dec\, and a big Krampus run starts at 17:45 on 12 Dec. Hours as published by the organizer in October 2026; check the official site before you go. \nLast checked: 21 October 2026\, against the official Bad Tölz tourism page. \nInsider tips\nBad Tölz has one of the prettiest settings for a Christmas market in Upper Bavaria: the stalls line the historic Marktstraße\, the sloping main street with its painted house fronts\, and the facades are lit up for Advent. The town calls it the biggest and best-known Christmas market in its region. There’s a children’s carousel in front of the fountain\, and singers and music groups from the Isarwinkel (the Isar valley around Tölz) play Christmas songs. On weekends there’s extra going on\, like concerts\, family carriage rides and ice sculptors. \nThree dates worth planning around in 2026: \n\nSunday 29 November: the town’s shops open from 13:00 (a “verkaufsoffener Sonntag”\, a shopping Sunday\, which is rare in Germany)\, so you can combine the market with some Christmas shopping.\nSunday 6 December: from 16:00 the Christkindl post office opens on the stage at the Winzerer monument\, so kids can bring their wish lists. At 17:00 St. Nicholas arrives by horse-drawn sleigh at the town museum and spends about an hour with the children.\nSaturday 12 December: the big Krampus run starts at 17:45 on the Marktstraße. Krampus figures in shaggy fur and carved masks\, ringing heavy bells. The organizer calls it a scary but harmless thrill. With little ones\, my tip is to watch from a little further back.\n\nGood to know\n\nHours: daily 11:00 to 19:00\, and on Christmas Eve 10:00 to 14:00.\nDates: 27 November to 24 December 2026. It’s one of the markets still open on Christmas Eve morning.\nKids: the carousel\, St. Nicholas on 6 December and the Christkindl post office make this one a good family pick.\n\nGetting there\nTake the BRB regional train RB 56 toward Lenggries and get off at Bad Tölz. According to the train operator\, it’s about a 10-minute walk from the station to the Marktstraße. The station is on the eastern edge of town\, and the Munich-bound trains leave from track 2. \nNearby markets\nFor a second lake-and-mountains market\, the Seeadvent in Bad Wiessee on the Tegernsee is close by. Back in the city\, the Munich Christkindlmarkt at Marienplatz is the classic\, and the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Christmas market is another Alpine pick.

On Christmas Eve it’s open 10:00 to 14:00. \nWhen is the Krampus run in Bad Tölz?\nOn Saturday 12 December 2026\, starting at 17:45 on the Marktstraße. \nCan I get to Bad Tölz without a car?\nYes. The BRB’s RB 56 toward Lenggries stops in Bad Tölz\, and the market is about a 10-minute walk from the station. \nSee every 2026 date in our guide to German Christmas markets\, or browse every market by date in the Christmas market calendar.

SUMMARY:Rosenheim Christkindlmarkt
DESCRIPTION:A classic Bavarian market on Max-Josefs-Platz and Ludwigsplatz\, under an hour from Munich by train. Stalls daily 10:30 to 20:00\, food and drink until 21:00 on Fri and Sat\, Christmas Eve 10:00 to 13:00. Opening day Fri 27 Nov: stalls from 13:00\, children’s fairy-tale parade from the Salingarten at 16:00\, opening ceremony about 16:30. Family Wednesdays (2\, 9\, 16 and 23 Dec) with Kasperl puppet shows at 14:00 and 15:00 and free carriage rides; St. Nicholas arrives Sat 5 Dec at 16:00. Hours as published by the organizer in October 2026; check the official site before you go. \nLast checked: 22 October 2026\, against the organizer’s page (Wirtschaftlicher Verband Rosenheim). \nInsider tips\nRosenheim is the closest big-town Christmas market on the German side for us in Kiefersfelden\, and it’s the one our family knows best. We spent an evening here in December 2024: Shauna and Elijah rode up in the Ferris wheel\, and Elijah had his Kinderpunsch (the alcohol-free punch for kids) in a real market mug. The stalls fill Max-Josefs-Platz and Ludwigsplatz in the old town\, with the arcaded houses all around\, and the organizer describes the look as typically “voralpenländisch” (the style of the Alpine foothills). \nIf you can\, come on opening day\, Friday 27 November. The stalls open at 13:00\, the Kindermärchenzug (a children’s fairy-tale parade) sets off from the Salingarten at 16:00\, and the official opening ceremony follows at the stage at about 16:30. \nWith kids\, Wednesday is the day. On 2\, 9\, 16 and 23 December the market holds family days: Kati’s Kasperltheater (a classic Punch-and-Judy-style puppet show) plays at 14:00 and 15:00\, a Christmas elf hands out little surprises all afternoon\, carousels and stalls offer reduced prices\, and there are free horse-drawn carriage rides from Heilig-Geist-Straße between 13:30 and 16:00\, leaving about every 20 minutes. \nAnd on Saturday 5 December at 16:00\, St. Nicholas rolls onto Max-Josefs-Platz in a carriage\, together with Krampus and his angels. Children who say a little poem or sing a Christmas song get a small surprise from him. 🎄 \nOne more lovely tradition: from 7 to 13 December\, the organizer puts 65 small Christmas trees in the Heilig-Geist-Kirche for people in financial need. Anyone can bring an ornament from home and help decorate them. \nGood to know\n\nDates: Friday 27 November to Thursday 24 December 2026.\nHours: daily 10:30 to 20:00. On Fridays and Saturdays the food and drink stalls stay open until 21:00. Christmas Eve 10:00 to 13:00.\nKids: Wednesday family days (puppet shows\, free carriage rides\, cheaper carousel rides) and St. Nicholas on 5 December.\nStage program: the 2026 program isn’t out yet. The organizer says it’s coming soon.\nAdvent Saturdays: the town runs a free “Adventsbus” on the four Advent Saturdays.\n\nGetting there\nBy train: Rosenheim is a main rail hub\, under an hour from Munich. From the station it’s about 750 meters as the crow flies to Max-Josefs-Platz\, so plan on roughly a 10- to 15-minute walk into the old town. Coming from the Austrian side? The regional trains from Kufstein stop in Kiefersfelden and Oberaudorf on the way to Rosenheim\, so this is an easy evening trip from the Inn Valley too. By car or coach: the organizer points coaches to the parking at Prinzregentenstraße and Reichenbachstraße. \nNearby markets\nRosenheim pairs well with the old-town market in Wasserburg am Inn (Thursday to Sunday)\, and on the first two Advent weekends with the island market on the Chiemsee\, the Fraueninsel Christkindlmarkt. Down the Inn Valley toward the border are two tiny village markets: our own Kieferer Dorfadvent and the Oberaudorf Christkindlmarkt\, which is open on just two Saturdays. More ideas: Christmas Markets Near Munich: 5 Day Trips by Train. \nRosenheim Christmas market FAQ\nWhen is the Rosenheim Christmas market in 2026?\nFrom Friday 27 November to Thursday 24 December 2026\, daily 10:30 to 20:00 (food and drink until 21:00 on Fridays and Saturdays). On Christmas Eve it’s open 10:00 to 13:00. \nIs the Rosenheim Christkindlmarkt good for kids?\nYes. Come on a Wednesday (2\, 9\, 16 or 23 December) for puppet shows at 14:00 and 15:00\, free carriage rides from 13:30 to 16:00 and reduced carousel prices. St. Nicholas visits on Saturday 5 December at 16:00. \nHow do I get from Munich to the Rosenheim Christmas market?\nTake a regional train to Rosenheim (under an hour). The market on Max-Josefs-Platz is roughly a 10- to 15-minute walk from the station. \nSee every 2026 date in our guide to German Christmas markets\, or browse every market by date in the Christmas market calendar.

SUMMARY:Wasserburg am Inn Christkindlmarkt
DESCRIPTION:A Christmas market spread through the medieval old town of Wasserburg\, on a loop of the Inn River\, open Thursday to Sunday in Advent. Thu (3\, 10 and 17 Dec) 16:00 to 21:00\, Fri 15:00 to 21:00\, Sat 12:00 to 21:00\, Sun 12:00 to 20:00\, plus Wed 23 Dec 15:00 to 21:00. Free entry. Hours as published by the organizer in October 2026; check the official site before you go. \nLast checked: 21 October 2026\, against the organizer’s page (Wirtschaftsförderungsverband Wasserburg). \nInsider tips\nWasserburg sits on a tight loop of the Inn River\, so the old town is almost an island\, and the Christkindlmarkt fills its historic streets with lights\, Glühwein and bratwurst. It isn’t open every day: it runs Thursday to Sunday through Advent\, from Friday 27 November to Wednesday 23 December 2026. The three Advent Thursdays (3\, 10 and 17 December\, from 16:00) are the only regular weekday evenings\, and my guess is they’ll be the calmest time to go. On Saturdays it opens at noon\, so you can explore the old town in daylight and stay for the lights. \nGood to know\n\nOpen: Thursdays 3\, 10 and 17 December 16:00 to 21:00; Fridays 15:00 to 21:00; Saturdays 12:00 to 21:00; Sundays 12:00 to 20:00; and the last day\, Wednesday 23 December\, 15:00 to 21:00.\nClosed: Mondays and Tuesdays\, and Wednesdays apart from 23 December.\nFirst day: Friday 27 November 2026.\n\nGetting there\nThis is the one part that surprises visitors: the train station “Wasserburg (Inn)” is in the district of Reitmehring\, about 4 km west of the old town. City bus 431 connects the station with the old town (stops include Marienplatz and the bus station)\, and the town says the bus and train timetables are coordinated. In the evenings and on Sundays the bus runs hourly until after midnight\, so getting back to the train after the market is easy. The Rosenheim district has been part of the Munich transport network (MVV) since December 2023\, so MVV tickets cover the trip. \nNearby markets\nWasserburg is an easy add-on to the Rosenheim Christkindlmarkt.

SUMMARY:Dresden Striezelmarkt
DESCRIPTION:Germany’s oldest documented Christmas market (first mentioned in 1434)\, on the Altmarkt\, with Ore Mountain crafts and Dresden Stollen. Opening 25 Nov 16:00 to 21:00\, then daily 10:00 to 21:00\, 24 Dec 10:00 to 14:00. Stollen Festival Saturday 5 Dec. Free entry. Hours as published by the organizer in October 2026; check the official site before you go. \nInsider tips\nThe Striezelmarkt was first mentioned in 1434\, so it has a strong claim to being Germany’s oldest Christmas market. More than 200 traders fill the Altmarkt\, and this is the place for crafts from the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge): wooden Christmas pyramids\, nutcrackers and Räuchermännchen\, the little incense-smoking figures. Watch for the show workshops\, where you can see the crafts and real Dresden Christstollen being made. The Stollen Festival is on Saturday 5 December. Weekends are the most popular time in general\, so if you’d rather browse in peace\, pick a weekday afternoon. On opening day\, 25 November\, the market starts at 16:00. \nGetting there\nFrom Dresden Hauptbahnhof you can walk straight up the Prager Straße shopping street to the Altmarkt. Trams also stop at the Altmarkt stop\, at the edge of the market on Wilsdruffer Straße\, across from the Kulturpalast. \nNearby markets\nDresden has several smaller markets within walking distance\, including the Advent market on the Neumarkt by the Frauenkirche\, the medieval Christmas market in the Stallhof of the Royal Palace and the Augustusmarkt on the Hauptstraße across the Elbe. For a second city\, the Leipzig Christmas Market is an easy train trip away. \nSee every 2026 date in our guide to German Christmas markets\, and plan your visit with our Dresden travel guide.

SUMMARY:Stuttgart Christmas Market
DESCRIPTION:One of Europe’s largest markets\, with about 300 stalls famous for their decorated rooftops\, around the Marktplatz\, Schillerplatz and Old Castle.

Hours as published by the organizer in October 2026; check the official site before you go. \nInsider tips\nStuttgart’s market is one of the largest in Europe\, with about 300 stalls around the Marktplatz\, the Schillerplatz and the Old Castle. What makes it special is the roofs: stallholders decorate them with figures and little scenes\, so remember to look up. I’d come in the late afternoon. You can see the details on the roofs in daylight\, then watch everything light up as it gets dark. On opening day\, 25 November\, the stalls open at 17:00\, with the opening ceremony at 18:00 in the courtyard of the Old Castle. On Fridays and Saturdays the market stays open until 22:00. \nGetting there\nThe market is close to Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof. Take S-Bahn lines S1 to S6 or S60 to the Hauptbahnhof or Stadtmitte\, and it’s about a 5-minute walk from either. The Stadtbahn stops at Schlossplatz\, Charlottenplatz and Börsenplatz are also close by. \nNearby markets\nTwo quieter favorites are a short S-Bahn ride away: the Esslingen Medieval & Christmas Market (S1) and the Ludwigsburg Baroque Christmas Market (S4 or S5). \nSee every 2026 date in our guide to German Christmas markets\, or browse every market by date in the Christmas market calendar.
