This Christmas Market's history goes back 300 years; surrounded by fine half-timbered buildings, it is full of traditional charm. A pure delight for visitors of all ages.

There is a festive Christmas programme every day, with entertainment for children, e.g. painting sessions.

Braunschweig grew up from five separate smaller towns during the middle ages. This structure can still be recognized today from the many squares, lined by churches and the former local Town Hall. The Burgplatz, with St. Blasii cathedral, Dankwarderode castle and the lion statue, is the most important square in the city. The rich history and the numerous art and cultural treasures, such as the Herzog Anton Ulrich museum, one of the oldest museums in Europe, mark the city’s cultural image.
