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 26 to December 23, 2026

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. Ein riesiger, leuchtender Elch thront auf einer zweistöckigen Glühweinstube bei Nacht.

In a survey conducted by the Nürnberger Presse publishing house, the Christmas market on Fürther Freiheit — along with its integrated medieval market — was named the region’s favorite for 2024. The secret to its success is obvious: While the world-famous Christkindlesmarkt in neighboring Nuremberg is often bustling with activity, here you can stroll across the square in complete relaxation and enjoy your mulled wine or eggnog comfortably by the warming fire pits.

The market impresses with a wide variety of culinary specialties and original gift ideas. Younger visitors can look forward to a nostalgic chain carousel, a small train ride, and a friendly, smiling Santa Claus who tells stories at the push of a button. Choirs and music groups from the region provide the perfect festive atmosphere. The new visual landmark is also guaranteed to catch your eye: perched atop the roof of the two-story mulled wine tavern “Dölle’s Altes Brathaus” is an eight-meter-tall, brightly lit moose.

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

Fürth Medieval Market

November 26 to December 23, 2026

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.

About 24 historic booths, designed to look like tents and wooden shacks, invite you to marvel at the sights. Watch candle makers, glassblowers, blacksmiths, tailors, and potters at work, and discover handmade jewelry, basketry, pottery, and children’s armor. The bath tub is considered the absolute highlight: Brave visitors can take a hot bath in the Zubabar while relaxing and enjoying a cup of mead.

A wide-ranging cultural program ensures top-notch entertainment: Musicians take the stage, while jugglers, stilt walkers, and fire performers enchant the audience. There’s also plenty for families: storytime and popular children’s knight tournaments.

The market treats visitors to culinary delights with food and drinks prepared according to time-honored recipes. In addition to grilled salmon, fresh hand-baked bread, tarte flambée, and hearty soups, traditional beverages such as berry wine, mead, spicy hypocras, mocha, and Swedish teas beckon.

Old Town Christmas

December 4 to 13, 2026

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 festive holiday spirit!

Traditional crafts play an important role here. A smith and a glassblower work on site, inviting visitors to watch or try their hand at these crafts. The many small stalls attract visitors with unique goods and provide numerous ideas for small Christmas gifts. Professional manufacturers and hobby artists offer jewelry, ceramics, woodcraft, and Christmas decorations such as candles and lanterns.

A small stage features 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, less commercial than many other markets.

Tip: Christmas Pyramid

November 27 to January 10, 2026

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.

Just a few steps across the Fürth Market, you will find yourself right in front of the impressive Christmas Pyramid at Dr. Konrad-Adenauer-Anlage. In addition to the atmospheric lighting design, with highlights such as the illuminated railway, the 14-meter-high (46-feet) Christmas Pyramid is a true highlight. Here, too, delicious hot drinks invite you to warm your hands and soak up the festive atmosphere.
