The beautiful market on Waisenhausplatz square has been around for over 20 years and never fails to delight visitors. Over 50 stalls, Christmas trees and festive decorations, and the smell of mulled wine and Christmas cookies invite you to stroll and browse.
If you’re looking for a delicious and atmospheric Advent evening, we recommend a visit to the market restaurant “Platzhirsch”. Once you’re equipped with one of their in-house fondue bags – which contains everything you need to cook this typical winter dish – you can choose the spot with the best view over the beautifully illuminated Christmas market and the decorated fir tree. Then it’s just a matter of lighting a fire and enjoying the fondue.
If you’re still looking for gifts for your loved ones, you’re sure to find something here. The vendors present a wide range of traditional and custom products such as delicious candied almonds, star-shaped Christmas ornaments and handmade candles.
