The countdown to Christmas has begun… the few weeks running up to the day are devoted to hectic preparations and shopping! Check out these 5 original Christmas markets in Strasbourg.
Place Kléber
The Great Christmas Tree is the essential symbol of Strasbourg. This year it is decorated with light and airy white spheres and the more traditional red baubles that remind us that early Christmas trees were decorated with apples. The Great Christmas Tree is 30 meters tall, which makes it one of the tallest decorated natural Christmas trees in Europe. Come and see a light and sound show near the Great Christmas Tree on place Kléber every evening, every hour starting at 5 p.m.!⠀
Place Broglie
The Christ Child Market tradition began at Place Broglie in 1871. It continued to be the heart and soul of the Christmas market ever since. The Town Hall, which symbolizes the square, takes on a magical appearance for Christmas. Come and rediscover this iconic building, illuminated and decorated in the colors of Christmas.
Place du Marché aux Poissons
Have you tried bredele biscuits or white mulled wine? If not, you should check out the Alsatian Christmas delicacies market! Come and discover or rediscover the traditional bredele, mannele and gingerbread made in Alsace for Christmas through the many activities and workshops offered during Advent.
