One of a kind: you won’t find any of the unique items at the “Münstermärit” (Christmas Market at Minster Square) twice. Bernese craftspeople have presented their lovingly manufactured products at this Christmas market since 1984. Be it jewellery, handbags, cups, or a new purse – everything has been carefully and patiently made in the weeks leading up to the Advent season. The Christmas market in front of the impressive Bern Minster is an experience you definitely won’t want to miss!

And if you’re looking for even more handmade gifts, you should visit the crafts market on Minster terrace, where numerous artisans exhibit their handmade items every Sunday. From ceramics to jewellery, toys, glass, leather goods, and paper: each piece is an original and crafted to the highest standard.
