Heidelberg Christmas Market

During the Advent stroll, in addition to the picturesque alleys and sights, a variety of festive stalls can be discovered, offering enchanting gift ideas in various squares of the old town. Those seeking physical activity will find one of the most beautiful ice rinks in Germany at Karlsplatz, with a view of the world-famous castle ruins.

Bismarckplatz: As the entrance to the old town, Bismarckplatz sets the mood for an unforgettable visit to the Christmas market with its pre-Christmas charm.

Anatomiegarten: In front of the monument to chemist Robert Bunsen, festively decorated huts invite visitors to stop by.

Universitätsplatz: In the largest square of the Heidelberg Christmas market, you can find everything that brings joy. While the little ones enjoy themselves on the antique carousel, parents take a small break from the colorful hustle and bustle with mulled wine and bratwurst.

Marktplatz: The highlight of the square is the Heidelberg barrel, a large wooden barrel with a capacity of 120,000 liters. This makes it about half the size of the original, which is the Great Barrel in Heidelberg Castle. Inside the barrel, there is a room above the sales stand with a magnificent view of the market activities.

Kornmarkt: Illuminated fir trees and lit tipis create a festive atmosphere and invite visitors to linger.
