Weihnachtsmarkt auf Schloss Thurn und Taxis

The Christmas market at Thurn und Taxis Palace fills the entire courtyard with wooden stalls selling regional products and holiday decorations from local producers. The space is decorated with lights and seasonal ornaments throughout.

The palace was once the seat of the Thurn und Taxis family, who managed the postal system across Europe and shaped commerce and communication for centuries. The location later became a public venue and now hosts this seasonal market.

Local artisans display handcrafted goods while visitors experience traditional Christmas customs rooted in this region of Bavaria throughout their visit.

The courtyard is easily accessible on foot and offers enough space to walk between stalls, though it can get crowded during late afternoon hours. Warm clothing is advisable since you will spend time outdoors during the cold season.

During the Romantic Light Night, visitors can join a lantern procession that moves through the market grounds, creating a special festive moment. This evening experience transforms the market into something quite different from the daytime atmosphere most people expect.
