Royal winter magic

With enchanting illuminations, elaborate decorations, and a Christmas program, Hohenzollern Castle invites you to experience the Royal Winter Magic from November 20, 2026, to January 10, 2027. The [Royal Winter Magic](https://burg-hohenzollern.com/de/veranstaltungen/koeniglicher-winterzauber) is not a Christmas market, but an elaborately designed special exhibition. Instead of the charm of market stalls and crowds, it offers a Christmas atmosphere in a historic setting. In the Count's Hall, visitors can expect a twelve-meter-long table with imperial service, flanked by a seven-meter-high Christmas tree. The other rooms, which visitors can explore at their leisure, will also be enchantingly decorated. At dusk, the illuminations on the facades in the castle courtyard begin. The court jester will release soap bubbles into the night sky. Santa Claus will also make an appearance from time to time. The castle restaurant will spoil visitors with winter specialties, and small groups can enjoy refreshments in the themed huts in the castle garden. Coffee and cake will also be available on a donation basis in Café Kira on the third floor. Tickets for the Winter Magic are available in limited numbers per day from the [online ticket portal](https://burg-hohenzollern.com/de/tickets) at [www.burg-hohenzollern.com](https://burg-hohenzollern.com/de/tickets) in limited numbers per day. Tickets also include parking fees and the shuttle bus that runs between the parking lot and the castle entrance gate. Tickets at the box office are subject to availability. **It is recommended that you only arrive with an online ticket.**
