Floating Christmas market Vilshofen an der Donau

30 Nov. - 01 Dec. 2024 | Christmas market along the Danube promenade

The Floating Christmas Market in Vilshofen on the Danube is a unique winter wonderland that annually captivates thousands of visitors. Traditionally celebrated on the first three Advent weekends from Friday to Sunday, this market is much more than just a Christmas market; it's a celebration of life, culture, and the festive season..

The market stretches along the picturesque Danube promenade, offering a fairy-tale setting. The lovingly and creatively designed market stalls and booths line the river, showcasing a variety of handmade products, crafts, and local specialties. The organizer of this magical market is the Vilshofen city administration, ensuring the event's success with their expertise and passion.

The Danube promenade itself, surrounded by historic buildings and overlooking the river, gives the market a special atmosphere. The Floating Christmas Market is famous for its unique attractions such as the nine-meter-high mulled wine pyramid, the "World's Largest Board Nativity Scene," and a magnificent Christmas tree. On board the ship "Stadt Linz," artists and craftsmen present their works and products.

In addition to the fascinating design and attractions, it's the culinary delights that make the market so special. From traditional mulled wine and gingerbread to roasted almonds and Lower Bavarian specialties – the culinary pleasures are diverse and unique.

Visitors can easily access the market due to Vilshofen's good connections. This charming city on the Danube, rich in history and culture, offers much to see beyond the market. Vilshofen, with a history of over 1200 years, is distinguished by its palpable past. The historic marketplace, marked by the city tower - the symbol of the city - and the parish church of St. John, is a striking example. Additionally, the charming, lovingly restored alleys connecting the old town with the Danube and numerous monuments, including the Maria-Hilf Church, a late Baroque building in the style of a Greek cross, testify to the city's fascinating history.

In conclusion, the Floating Christmas Market in Vilshofen is an unforgettable experience. It combines traditional crafts, culinary delights, and a matchless festive atmosphere in one of Germany's most beautiful cities. A visit here is not just a trip into the Christmas season, but a journey into a world full of wonders and joy.
