Welcome to Koblenz at Christmas time!

The scent of gingerbread wafts from rustic wooden huts and the artisan market invites you to browse for gifts and unique handmade items. Stroll through the festively decorated city center from one favorite place to the next. The colorfully illuminated dormer windows of the baroque town hall on Jesuitenplatz are a special sight - together they form the largest Advent calendar in the city. For the perfect day in Koblenz, don't miss a detour to the Deutsches Eck and from there take the cable car up to the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress cultural center. Here, the Christmas light and sound installation "Christmas Garden", this year with over 30 new elements, is one of the highlights of the Christmas season in Koblenz. The Koblenz Christmas Market in Koblenz city center will take place from November 22, 2024 to January 5, 2025. We look forward to your visit!

Festively illuminated Christmas town
Enjoy a relaxing stroll through the cozy alleyways of the picturesque old town and be enchanted by the atmospheric sea of poinsettias and garlands of lights. The atmosphere of the festively decorated streets and squares with numerous decorated Christmas trees will instantly put you in the holiday mood. Koblenz's beautiful town hall offers two attractions during the Advent season: In the illuminated inner courtyard, the sight of the large nativity scene, which symbolizes the Christian Christmas story, is enchanting. And it is also worth taking a look up to the roof of the former Jesuit college, where a new door of the town hall Advent calendar opens every day in the romantic skylights.
