Christmas Magic between Rhine and Moselle
On Friday, December 18, 2026, the Koblenz Christmas Market invites you from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM for a festive stroll through the beautifully illuminated old town. Between Jesuitenplatz, Münzplatz, Am Plan, Josef-Görres-Platz, Willi-Hörter-Platz, Zentralplatz, and Liebfrauenkirche, regional market culture combines with a Christmas atmosphere.
Seven Squares, a Unique Shopping Experience
More than 130 stalls shape the Koblenz Christmas Market with crafts, gift ideas, festive decorations, and seasonal gastronomy. The tour leads through historic alleys and squares, where direct marketers, vendors, and suppliers present Christmas goods and culinary specialties.
Fragrant Seasonal Goods and Regional Specialties
The scent of cinnamon, vanilla, and candied almonds fills the air. Freshly baked waffles, hearty specialties, and regional winemaker mulled wine are also available. The market atmosphere ranges from quick snacks to cozy stays in the mulled wine garden.
Craftsmanship, Glowing Lights, and Family Program
On Jesuitenplatz, the large Christmas pyramid sets a festive highlight. The colorfully lit gables of the baroque town hall form an impressive Advent calendar. Families can discover a nostalgic carousel and other participatory offers, while the Christmas lights transform the old town into a warm winter setting.
