The Christmas market in Frankfurt is over 600 years old and attracts millions of visitors to the city every year. More than 200 cosy Christmas decorated stalls offer everything from culinary experiences, to a choice of traditional and homemade Christmas gift ideas. The Christmas market in Frankfurt is a must for everyone.
The many cosy Christmas stalls spread throughout Frankfurt, from Römerberg to Paulsplatz and Mainkai. In addition to the many stalls, the Christmas market in Frankfurt offers a large and varied programme; you can, for example, hear the tower blowers from the balcony of the Nikolai church, the chimes around the 30-metre-high Christmas tree and lots of other concerts.
If the huge Christmas market seems overwhelming, there's help too: under the motto "Glühwein, Geschichten und Gebäck" (Mulled wine/mulled wine, fairy tales and cakes), it's possible to book a guided tour of Frankfurt's huge Christmas market. Here you will be shown around while getting an insight into the history and traditions of the Christmas market.
All this, of course, is beautifully combined with the scents of the many traditional German specialities, which help to create the unique atmosphere that prevails throughout Frankfurt during the Christmas months.
