Program & Itinerary
Strasbourg’s Christmas Market Wonderland
Strasbourg transforms into a glittering winter village with eleven distinct Christmas markets spread across its historic center. From the moment you arrive, festive chalets welcome you outside the train station, setting the tone for the magical walk to the heart of town. Each market has its own atmosphere, specialties and charm, inviting you to explore at your own pace.
Iconic Squares and Sparkling Highlights
In front of the Cathedral, wooden stalls nestle beneath soaring Gothic spires, while Place Broglie brims with traditional decorations and regional delights. At Place Kléber, you’ll stand before the largest real Christmas tree in France, grown especially for the market and glowing with thousands of lights. Continue to Place Corbeau, near the Alsatian Museum, and Place Gutenberg, where a guest destination is honored every year with its own themed market.
Riverside Magic and Gourmet Treats
Down in Petite France, the half-timbered houses and reflections on the River L’Ill create one of the most romantic market settings in the city. Food lovers will be drawn to Place d’Austerlitz, dedicated entirely to delicious Christmas foods and drinks. You’ll also pass stalls outside Temple Neuf Church and, a little further away, at Cité de la Musique et de la Danse, where the market sits right beside the festive ice-skating rink.
A Tailor-Made Route With Your Guide
Today, your expert local guide leads you on a flexible route that takes in several of these markets scattered across town. In the morning, you’ll discuss what you most want to see, discover or purchase – perhaps handicrafts, gourmet specialties, decorations or gifts – and your guide will design the itinerary accordingly. Because each market has its own specialty and character, you enjoy a personalized experience that matches your interests, whether you’re a foodie, a culture lover or a dedicated Christmas shopper.
