Festive anticipation: Christmas markets in Saarland and the large region

The upcoming Christmas season brings the popular Christmas markets back, which open their doors in many places. These festive markets, which bribe through sparkling lights, aromatic food and hot drinks, should put visitors into a contemplative mood. In Saarland the markets shine, including several in Saarbrücken, while the surrounding cities of the large region also offer their own attractions.

An outstanding goal is the Christmas market in Trier. This will be held from November 22nd to December 22nd and invites the guests to enjoy the medieval main market and the impressive backdrop of the cathedral. The market even fought for the title as the "Best Christmas Market in Germany 2024", awarded from the tourism platform "European best destinations", where Trier has reached 11th place in Europe.
