Erfurt Christmas market: Visitors frustrated over crowded streets!

Erfurt, Deutschland - The atmospheric Christmas market in Erfurt has been attracting visitors in droves since November 26, 2024. The market spans the old town from the historic cathedral square and inspires with more than 200 booths that offer local specialties such as Thuringian bratwurst and the Erfurt Schittchen. Handmade products from the region and artistic wooden figures can also be found on the offer. But despite the festive atmosphere, many guests express their resentment about the enormous number of visitors, such as Thuringia.

In an Erfurt Facebook group, numerous users scold the crowds and the difficulties in finding a parking space. A user described that the parking lot next to the market was closed and the search for a free space became a real adventure. In addition, incidents, such as the run over a foot with a stroller, has increased the negative experiences of many visitors. In order to avoid these crowds, others advise you to use P+R parking spaces and a trip to the city.

The Christmas market lasts until December 22, 2024 and is known for its special attractions, including a beautiful, festively illuminated Christmas tree and hand -carved Christmas cribs. For the little visitors there is a 12 meter high original Erzgebirge Christmas pyramid. According to christmas market.erfurt.de , guests can enjoy the festive atmosphere with mulled wine and gingerbread. However, the large number of visitors, who already had impressive 1,088,131 guests in the previous year, make it clear that planning is essential to enjoy the experience to the fullest.
