Stuttgart Christmas Market

Once again this year, the winter magic envelops Stuttgart: the scent of cinnamon and mulled wine, Christmas music, and shining lights signal that it’s time for the Stuttgart Christmas Market! The festively illuminated city center, characterized by the medieval Old Castle, the towers of the Collegiate Church, and the magnificent baroque structure of the New Castle, provides the perfect backdrop. Everywhere, the Christmas lights sparkle, the air is filled with the aromas of cinnamon, bratwurst, and mulled wine, and festive music resonates in every square. The beautifully illuminated city center forms the dreamlike setting for the Stuttgart Christmas Market. Unique are the approximately 300 wonderfully decorated stalls. Whether it’s Santa Claus with his bushy beard, angel figures, or splendid winter landscapes – in Stuttgart, the stalls with their lovingly adorned wooden roofs are particularly captivating. With its more than 300-year tradition and unique offerings of Christmas goods, the Stuttgart Christmas Market is one of the most magnificent in all of Europe. The Stuttgart Christmas Market also has plenty to offer away from the hustle and bustle: a large children's and fairy tale land, as well as fantastic evening concerts, cast a Christmas spell over the city. The opening ceremony in the courtyard of the Old Castle is one of the atmospheric highlights.
