Ulmer Weihnachtsmarkt

The Ulm Christmas Market is a seasonal market at Münsterplatz with about a hundred wooden stalls selling crafts, toys, regional foods, and seasonal decorations. The stalls surround the main plaza, with views of the Minster building rising behind them.

The market continues a tradition of winter fairs that has been held in German-speaking regions for hundreds of years. Münsterplatz itself has medieval roots and remains the civic center of the city.

The stalls and decorations reflect Swabian regional traditions through handcrafted items that locals have been making for generations. You can see how these customs shape the gathering, bringing people together to mark the season in the way their community has always done.

The market is easy to reach on foot and has plenty of room to walk between the stalls. Visiting in the late afternoon or early evening gives you the benefit of the outdoor lighting as darkness falls.

The market has a petting area with live sheep where children can touch and feed the animals. This corner draws many families and offers a break from shopping.
