The Stuttgart Christmas market can look back on a history of over 300 years. But it is not only one of the oldest and largest Christmas markets in Europe, it is also one of the most beautiful. This is not least due to the lovingly decorated roofs of the stalls - a special feature that makes the Stuttgart Christmas Market so worth seeing. The most beautiful stand is awarded a prize.
More than three million visitors come here every year to get in the mood for the Advent season, many of them from the border triangle of Switzerland, France and Austria. They are offered a varied assortment at more than 300 stands - from nativity figures and Christmas decorations to traditional Krämermarkt items and the obligatory pre-Christmas treats.
In addition, there is a diverse supporting program at the Stuttgart Christmas Market that has something in store for everyone: Live music, including choirs from various parts of the city singing on the steps of the town hall, hands-on activities for children, a nativity scene with live animals, an antique market, a Finnish Christmas village and much more. Parents who want to get Christmas presents without their offspring will benefit from the childcare in the town hall.
