About Christmas Market Koblenz

The Koblenz Christmas Market is one of the largest and most atmospheric Christmas markets on the Middle Rhine. For six weeks – from the end of November to the beginning of January – the historic old town of Koblenz transforms into a fairytale Christmas city. On the central squares Jesuitenplatz, Münzplatz, Am Plan, and Josef-Görres-Platz, festively decorated huts offer mulled wine, handicrafts, Christmas decorations, toys, and culinary specialties. The old town is festively illuminated, the Liebfrauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) provides a spectacular backdrop, and a varied stage program ensures a festive Advent atmosphere.
