The Passau
Christmas Market or better known as
Christkindlmarkt is set in the old historic town centre of Passau against the
glorious backdrop of St. Stephen's Cathedral, it offers a wide variety of festive themed fun.
About 70 selected little stalls will show and sell special Christmas
goods, presents, arts and crafts. A wealth of Christmas specialities
and food like Lebkuchen (gingerbread), Glühwein and Bratwurst (fried
sausage) is also available.
The Market is easy to reach with the Christmas Market Express and
during the ride passengers will be able to enjoy passing through the
charming old quarter and city centre of Passau. Both traditional and
contemporary cribs will point the way through the city to the
Christmas Market. To get to know the city sights more closely, the
Passau Tourist Information Office offers daily city tours at midday.
Cultural highlights include a concert by Germany's most famous
choir, the Regensburger-Domspatzen, held at St.Stephan's Cathedral
on 7th of December. For those who miss the event there will be
concerts on the world's biggest cathedral organ every Wednesday and
Saturday from noon to 12.30pm . Added to all this, 6 m³ of snow will
be guaranteed every day, in order to make the visit to the Christmas
Market a perfect experience for young and old alike. For the little
ones, a daily program has been arranged in which they can make
themselves a wide range of different articles. Whether it is
candle-dipping or home-made decorations for the Christmas tree, the
children’s eyes are guaranteed to glow with delight. An ‘angel’s
postal service’ will round off the exciting experience for the young
ones. |
