What makes this market special

The mulled wine stand serves homemade Glühwein and punch, with festive sounds and live music. Because the courtyard belongs to one of Central Europe's oldest restaurants, the stroll can lead straight on to a warm meal, booking a table is wise.

  • Beautifully decorated in the vaulted arcade, a highlight
  • A 500 square metre garden in the lovingly decorated Willibaldarkadenhof
  • Homemade mulled wine, punch and live music
  • The first market to open in the city, on 11 November
