Christmas fair Landsberg am Lech

The Landsberg Christmas Market, an annual highlight in the city's event calendar, opens its doors in the reflective Advent season, from the end of November until just before Christmas Eve..

Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Lech River, the market provides an idyllic setting. The town of Landsberg am Lech itself is rich in history and stories, shaped by its location on the famed Lech River and the historical buildings that bear witness to a turbulent past. Landsberg am Lech is a German town in the southwest of Bavaria. The well-preserved medieval town features several towers that have maintained their original condition, including the towers of the Bayertor. The old town is dominated by the parish church of St. Mary's Assumption from the 15th century with its wooden Madonna and Gothic stained glass. The main square is home to the Baroque town hall with frescoes inside.

The market stalls are artfully distributed around the city's central points: the parish church, the lively pedestrian zone, the main square, the Rossmarkt, and the Infantry Square.

Visiting the Landsberg Christmas Market is like strolling through a Christmas wonderland, where handcrafted Christmas decorations, nativity accessories, and glittering jewelry make visitors' eyes sparkle. But it's not just a feast for the eyes – traditional treats like fragrant mulled wine, hearty bratwurst, and warm chestnuts please the palate and warm from within.

What makes the Landsberg Christmas Market special is the unique combination of historical ambiance and the warmth of the people, whose traditional crafts and regional specialties create an unforgettable atmosphere.

The market's easy accessibility, whether on foot, by bike, or public transport, makes it possible for everyone to visit.

In conclusion, the Landsberg Christmas Market is not just a place for pre-Christmas shopping but also a gathering place for community, contemplation, and immersion in the warm, festive mood that is so characteristic of the Advent season.

The Christmas fair will take place on 24 days from Friday, 29. November to Sunday, 22. December 2024 in Landsberg am Lech.
