Your guide will be waiting for you at the Place Kléber, above the Great Christmas Tree, and will take you the famous Christmas market, which takes place at the foot of the Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic Art. Since 1992, as the Capital of Christmas, the city celebrates Christmas with its magic and its traditions of ancient times.

Meet your guide next to the Great Christmas Tree and start your walking tour to the famous market. Created in 1570, the Christkindelsmärik, or Market of the Infant Jesus, is the oldest Christmas market in Europe. Each year, in November, the city becomes the Capital of Christmas. For a month, 2 million visitors come to walk around the Christmas market, enjoy the famous flashing lights of the Great Christmas Tree in Place Kléber, and discover Alsatian culture. You can taste culinary specialities (hot wine, pretzels, sauerkraut, kugelhopf) and get your holiday shopping done with typical souvenirs such as religious statues, handmade toys, tablecloths, napkins, Christmas tree decorations, jewellery, etc.

Come and visit this magic city, a cross between German and French culture, and experience an unforgettable Christmas.
