Evenings and Saturdays are the most popular times\, and it’s of course worth it. For easy browsing\, come on a weekday morning. Listen for the Advent music from the town hall balcony\, where brass groups and choirs play every day. Don’t miss the Kripperlmarkt by the Alter Peter church\, one of the biggest nativity-scene markets in Germany. In the town hall\, the Himmelswerkstatt lets kids dress up as little angels and make Christmas crafts. Stalls are closed on Sunday 22 November\, and on Christmas Eve the market closes at 14:00. \nGetting there\nAll S-Bahn lines (S1 to S8) and the U3 and U6 stop at Marienplatz\, directly under the market. From the Hauptbahnhof\, any S-Bahn heading into the center gets you there in two stops. Karlsplatz (Stachus) and Odeonsplatz also work. There’s no parking around Marienplatz\, so leave the car behind. \nNearby markets\nMunich has plenty of quieter markets just a short walk or ride away: the Medieval Christmas Market at Wittelsbacherplatz\, the market at the Chinese Tower in the English Garden and the Tollwood Winter Festival.

SUMMARY:Frankfurt Christmas Market (Römerberg)
DESCRIPTION:One of Germany’s oldest and largest markets\, with more than 230 stalls running from the Römerberg and Paulsplatz to the Main riverbank. Mon to Sat 10:00 to 21:00\, Sun 11:00 to 21:00. Opening Monday 23 Nov at 17:10; tower brass music Wed and Sat at 18:00. Hours as published by the organizer in October 2026; check the official site before you go. \nInsider tips\nFrankfurt’s market winds through the center with more than 230 stalls\, from the Roßmarkt and the Hauptwache past the Paulsplatz to the Römerberg and down to the Main riverbank\, where there’s a children’s Christmas market. The big tree on the Römerberg\, framed by the old town houses\, is the classic photo. Try to be on the Römerberg at 18:00 on a Wednesday or Saturday\, when brass players perform from the gallery of St. Nicholas Church. While you’re there\, try Bethmännchen (marzipan cookies with three almonds) and a mug of hot apple wine\, both Frankfurt traditions. If you’re bringing little ones\, pick up a free Kinder-Finder wristband at any children’s ride and write your phone number on it. \nGetting there\nTake the U4 or U5 to Dom/Römer\, or tram 11\, 12 or 14 to Römer/Paulskirche. With the S-Bahn or most other U-Bahn lines\, get off at Hauptwache\, about a 5-minute walk from the Römerberg. There’s no event parking\, so public transport is the way to go. \nNearby markets\nIf you have an extra day\, the Heidelberg Christmas Market and the Würzburg Christmas Market both make good day trips from Frankfurt by train. \nSee every 2026 date in our guide to German Christmas markets\, or browse every market by date in the Christmas market calendar.

SUMMARY:WeihnachtsZauber Gendarmenmarkt (Berlin)
DESCRIPTION:Berlin’s elegant market on the Gendarmenmarkt between the concert hall and the two domed churches\, with crafts and a stage program.

Hours as published by the organizer in October 2026; check the official site before you go. \nInsider tips\nThis is one of Berlin’s prettiest squares\, with the market set between the Konzerthaus concert hall and the two domed churches.

Entry is free on weekdays from 11:00 to 14:00 and on 24\, 25 and 26 December\, and children under 12 always get in free. So a weekday lunchtime visit is both the quietest and the cheapest. Food stalls take cards\, but bring some cash for the craft stalls. Leave the big backpack at the hotel\, because only small bags up to about A4 size are allowed. It’s one of the few markets open after Christmas\, running right through New Year’s Eve with a special party (separate €9 ticket). \nGetting there\nTake the U6 to Stadtmitte\, which is step-free with an elevator\, or the U2 to Hausvogteiplatz (not step-free). Bus 200 stops at U Stadtmitte and Jerusalemer Straße\, and bus 147 stops at Werderscher Markt. \nNearby markets\nFor a different feel\, head west to the Christmas Market at Charlottenburg Palace\, which is free to enter and lit up in front of the palace. \nSee every 2026 date in our guide to German Christmas markets\, and plan the rest of your trip with our Berlin 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. Sun to Thu 11:00 to 21:00\, Fri and Sat 11:00 to 22:00. Opening day stalls from 17:00\, ceremony at 18:00 in the Old Castle courtyard. 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.

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.
