Koblenz Christmas Market
Every year during Advent, Koblenz is transformed into an atmospheric pre-Christmas paradise: The scent of freshly roasted almonds, mulled wine and gingerbread wafts through the streets. At the arts and crafts market, numerous stalls with handmade unique items invite you to a cozy gift hunt.
Through the festively decorated city center, you can stroll in complete relaxation from one favorite spot to the next. A particularly contemplative sight awaits you at Jesuitenplatz. There you will find the city's largest Advent calendar, composed of the colorfully lit dormer windows of the baroque town hall.
