The Aachen Christmas Market transforms the city center into a festive paradise, with stalls selling gifts, crafts, local foods, and seasonal drinks. The market is located primarily in front of Aachen Cathedral on Market Square and other squares such as Münsterplatz and Katschhof.
The market's cozy atmosphere is further enhanced by lights, music, and a diverse framework program. Special experiences such as dining in winter huts at the Elisenbrunnen Restaurant, open concurrently with the market from November 22, 2024, offer family-friendly dining options with mulled wine and eggnog for a warm, festive experience.
The participant fee for the family trip is 5 euros per person. This fee covers transportation, admission to the market, and a memorable day out with your family. However, please note that additional costs for food, drinks, and souvenirs may apply.
