Tuebingen Christmas Market

 

Neckarfront in Tuebingen

Tuebingen Christmas Market
 
One weekend In December the old town of Tübingen is dominated by the Christmas fair and the many visitors, who  come from all over Germany.

The smell of mulled wine or hot chocolate for children, served in specially designed Christmas mugs, roasted almonds and the aromatic taste of a Swabian dish called “Krautschupfnudeln” (you can even eat the plate) are tempting every visitor. Kebap and Pizza, Langos and Chinese food are adding an exotic touch, not unknown in Tübingen, and help to create an unforgettable and distinctive atmosphere.

About 450 Christmas fair stalls are erected in front of the beautiful half-timbered houses and leave you with the feeling of warmth and friendliness. The roads and paths are bathed in the soft light of the candles and street lamps. No booth looks like the other. Most of them are originals and especially designed and lovingly decorated just for the occasion.

Furthermore, the Christmas fair is spread all over the charming city. From the lower town to the Krumme Brücke, from the Kornhausstraße to the Market place. And stalls are situated at the Holzmarkt, the Neckargasse, the Neue Straße and at the Nonnenhaus as well.

If you are looking for an extraordinary, special, but also typical Christmas fair, Tübingen is the ideal place. Most of the goods offered are home-made: jam and honey, shawls and gloves, cups and plates, toys and paintings, candles and Christmas tree decoration. Many fascinated visitors are inspired in regard to their own Christmas shopping and the following year most of them are going to come back to Tübingen for that occasion

Still, that’s not all you can expect from your visit in Tübingen. There are many other attractions like a historic merry-go-round, a program designed for children with films, clowns and magicians, as well as many orchestras and choirs.

About the Town of Tuebingen
 
Small steps, narrow alleys and pointed gables shape the silhouette of old Tübingen on the way up to its castle. The Swabian university town of 85,000 inhabitants and 22,000 students combines the flair of a lovingly restored medieval centre of town with the colorful bustle and typical atmosphere of a young and cosmopolitan students' town.

Numerous sidewalk cafes, wine taverns and cozy students' pubs, special shops, restaurants and taverns invite visitors to stroll around and to pause here and there. Taking a boat trip in a famous "Stocherkahn" – the boat exclusive to Tübingen navigated by a long wooden pole – offers a scenic view of the picturesque Neckar waterfront with the famous Hölderlin Tower.
