Koblenz Christmas Market: Winter Magic Between the Rhine and Moselle
On Saturday, December 19, 2026, the historic Old Town of Koblenz will transform into a festively lit Christmas village. The Koblenz Christmas Market spans seven squares and combines regional market culture, crafts, culinary specialties, and a Rhineland Advent atmosphere.
Seven Squares, Seven Special Market Atmospheres
The Jesuitenplatz serves as a charming starting point for the tour. Between half-timbered houses, market-goers will discover Christmas ornaments, candle arches, Christmas pyramids, smokers, stollen, honey, Herrnhuter stars, and other gift ideas. The largest Advent calendar in the city shines on the baroque town hall roof.
At Am Plan, the Christmas pyramid and cozy seating huts invite visitors to linger with mulled wine. The Münzplatz offers particularly lively Christmas bustle with a mill tavern, mulled wine, warm beer, apple pancakes, Baumstriezel, vegetarian dishes, flaming salmon, and fresh potato chips.
Crafts, Direct Marketers, and Regional Specialties
The artisan market brings handcrafted unique items, glassworks, leather goods, olive wood products, wool items, and decorative gift ideas into the Koblenz city center. At Josef-Görres-Platz, regional wines, culinary products, and winemaker's mulled wine complement the offerings. The market stalls make the Christmas market a special shopping experience for everyone who appreciates authentic craftsmanship and regional diversity.
Advent Experiences for Families
Families will find offerings for children in several squares. Children's carousels, a small train around the historical pillar, and St. Nicholas provide shining eyes. In front of the Liebfrauenkirche, Manfred Gniffke and his son tell the Christmas story and sing Christmas carols in Koblenz vernacular over the weekend.
