Christmas market Bamberg

The traditional Christmas market takes place in Bamberg every year. On the Maximiliansplatz, in the middle of the city center, you will find not only the classic Christmas items such as candles and Christmas decorations, but also many delicacies from the region. Especially fruitcake, gingerbread, cookies and mulled wine as well as Feuerzangenbowle let the city center of Bamberg smell like Christmas. The first Christmas market in Bamberg took place on the promenade in 1911.

In 1970 it was moved to Maximiliansplatz, where it can still be found today. For the first time in 1983, the merchants of the market set up a large nativity scene, which was modeled on a Franconian farm. Visitors can see more beautiful cribs in the two crib pavilions.

The Christmas market will take place on 26 days from Tuesday, 28. November to Saturday, 23. December 2023 in Bamberg.
