Sellin Christmas Market

Advent on the Baltic Sea

The Sellin Christmas Market takes place in the Baltic seaside resort of Sellin, the well-known seaside resort on the island of Rügen in the Vorpommern-Rügen district, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The venue is the area around the old bathhouse on Warmbadstraße – a place with history that gives the market a special setting. The organizer is the Kurverwaltung Sellin (Sellin Spa Administration).

Market on the Fourth Advent

The Christmas Market traditionally opens on the fourth Advent weekend, making it one of the last Advent markets before the holiday. On Fridays, it starts in the afternoon, while on the following two days, it opens at noon. This leaves enough time to experience the Christmas bustle at a leisurely pace.

Mulled Wine, Carousel, and Puppet Theatre

The market offers what belongs to a cosy Advent market: mulled wine and winter drinks, a carousel for the youngest guests, a puppet theatre, and stalls with arts and crafts and gift ideas. The manageable, family-friendly format makes the market a relaxed Advent excursion for families and couples.

Winter Magic in the Seaside Resort

Sellin is known in the summer for its pier and its resort architecture – in winter, the Baltic seaside resort shows its quiet, contemplative side. The Christmas Market at the old bathhouse fits into this quiet season and makes Sellin an attractive destination on the Baltic coast even during Advent.
