Christmas market Trier

The Trier Christmas Market, an annual highlight during the festive pre-Christmas period, traditionally opens its gates during Advent until December 22nd. First established in 1978, the market has become a true visitor magnet. Trier, with its rich history and well-preserved medieval buildings, provides the perfect backdrop for this festive market. The Christmas market is organized by the city administration, which is responsible not only for the event itself but also for the additional offerings and services surrounding the market.

Visitors to the Trier Christmas Market can be enchanted by the romantic setting of the main market square and the majestic view of Trier Cathedral. These historical buildings create an atmosphere so unique that it makes the market a special experience. The stalls, stretching from the main market to the adjacent alleys, offer an array of artisanal and culinary specialties.

What makes the Trier Christmas Market stand out is the combination of its historical surroundings and the lovingly decorated stalls, which offer a wide range of Christmas gifts and decorations. Traditional delicacies such as mulled wine, roasted almonds, and the savory steamed dumplings are waiting to be sampled. With good public transport connections, the market is easily accessible to everyone.

Another highlight that distinguishes the market is the variety of entertainment on offer, ranging from choir singing and brass ensembles to special events for children. All these aspects together make the Trier Christmas Market a true gem among German Christmas markets and a must-visit destination during Advent.
