Bernkastel-Kues: Christmas Market Walking Tour

Experience the magic of the Bernkastel-Kues Christmas Market on a guided tour. See the largest Advent calendar in the Moselle region & enjoy the festive atmosphere of the market with your local guide.
Since 1978, the medieval town of Bernkastel-Kues has been enchanting visitors with its annual Christmas market, running from the end of November until shortly before Christmas Eve. The village's charm is heightened by over forty exquisitely tiny wooden cottages, creating a picturesque scene. Market stalls meander through the quaint old town from the market square, leading to Graach Gate, with the enormous Moselland Advent calendar in the square captivating onlookers every evening.

As part of the festive tradition, a poem or narrative about Advent is read aloud from the window of a beautifully adorned half-timbered house each day of the celebration. One of the market's traditional highlights is the sight of swimmers carrying flaming torches accompanying Santa Claus through the freezing waters of the Mosel to its bank. While the Bernkastel-Kues Christmas Market may not be the largest in Germany, its undeniable beauty, set against a magnificent medieval backdrop, makes it a perfect setting for joyous festivities. Come and experience the magic for yourself!
