Three markets you'll love!

Three Christmas markets, each unique in its own way, delight thousands of people every year and make visitors' eyes light up.

Fürth Christmas Market

November 27 to December 23, 2025

Eltern trinken Punsch mit ihrem kleinen Sohn auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt, gemütlicher Familienmoment. Beleuchtetes Kinderkarussell auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt der Fürther Freiheit mit Pferden und Kutsche. Vater und Tochter sitzen eng beisammen, lachen sich an und stoßen mit ihren Weihnachtstassen an.

In 2024, the Christmas Market on Fürther Freiheit, together with the Medieval Market, was voted the most popular in the region in a survey conducted by the media company Verlag Nürnberger Presse. The reason is simple: in contrast to the world-famous Christkindlesmarkt in the neighboring city of Nuremberg, you can stroll through the market here in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy your mulled wine or eggnog by the warm fire.

Both the culinary offerings and the many original gift ideas are sure to delight. Children will enjoy the rustic chain carousel, the small train ride, and the friendly, smiling Santa Claus who speaks at the push of a button. Choirs and music groups create a festive atmosphere. Just a few steps across the Fürther Markt will bring you directly to the impressive Christmas Pyramid at the Dr. Konrad-Adenauer-Anlage, where delicious hot drinks warm cold hands. 

Entrance fee

Admission to the Christmas Market is free of charge.

Venue

The Christmas market takes place on Fürther Freiheit. Thanks to its central location, it is easily accessible by public transport: simply take the train, subway, or bus to Fürth Central Station—from there, it is only a three-minute walk.

Opening hours

November 27 – December 23, daily from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Fürth Medieval Market

November 27 to December 23, 2025

Besucher wärmen sich an einer Feuerschale auf dem Fürther Mittelaltermarkt und schlendern zwischen Ständen. Zwei Kinder halten Kerzen über farbigem Wachs am Kerzenzieh-Stand des Mittelaltermarkts. Gaukler in rotem Gewand zeigt Feuershow auf dem Fürther Mittelaltermarkt und schwingt einen brennenden Stab.

Since 2010, this lovingly designed market, with its historic stalls on Fürther Freiheit, has been attracting visitors with craftsmen, jugglers, fire artists, and stilt walkers. 

Around 24 medieval stalls, from candle makers to glass and metal artists, woodworkers, tailors, potters, and felt makers, invite visitors to marvel at their wares. One highlight is the bathing tub, where the brave can take a dip and enjoy a cup of mead. Food and drinks based on traditional recipes are available to satisfy your appetite. There is salmon grilled over an open fire, soup and stews from large vats, and fresh handmade bread.

This year, exciting acts and musicians will once again perform on the medieval market stage. There is a separate program for children every day (Mon-Fri from around 3:00 p.m., Sat/Sun from around 11:30 a.m.) with the “excellent” jugglers from UN POCO LOCO.

Old Town Christmas

December 5 to 14, 2025

Weihnachtlich beleuchtete Stände der Altstadtweihnacht am Waagplatz, zwischen denen Besucher gemütlich schlendern. Ein kleines Mädchen hält ein Glas mit Teelicht vor ihr Gesicht und betrachtet fasziniert das warme Licht. Zwei Frauen halten Tassen Glühwein auf der Altstadtweihnacht, umgeben von festlicher Beleuchtung.

For ten days, the Old Town Christmas Market on the idyllic Waagplatz square is filled with pure Christmas spirit!

Traditional crafts are very important here. The blacksmith and glassblower work on site, inviting visitors to watch or try their hand at these crafts. The many small stalls attract visitors with unusual goods and provide numerous ideas for small Christmas gifts. Professional manufacturers and hobby artists offer jewelry, ceramic products, wood art, and Christmas decorations such as candles and lanterns.

The small stage offers a varied program of music, from children's choirs to jazz sessions, covering a wide repertoire. The Old Town Christmas Market is creative, original, cozy, and, above all, not as commercial as many other markets.

Entrance Fee

Admission to the Old Town Christmas Market is free of charge.

Tip: Christmas Pyramid

November 27 to December 23, 2025

Zwei Freundinnen lachen in der goldenen leuchtenden Lok am Fürther Weihnachtsmarkt, Mann fotografiert. Leuchtende Weihnachtspyramide und gemütlichen Hütten auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt. Leuchtende goldene Lok mit Lichterketten auf dem Fürther Weihnachtsmarkt, festliches Fotomotiv.

After a few steps across the Fürth Market, you will find yourself standing directly in front of the impressive Christmas Pyramid at the Dr. Konrad-Adenauer-Anlage. In addition to the atmospheric lighting concept with highlights such as the illuminated railway, the 14-meter-high Christmas Pyramid is an absolute eye-catcher. Here, too, delicious hot drinks invite you to warm your cold hands and enjoy the moment.
