Frankfurt
celebrates…

the Frankfurt Christmas Market
25.11 – 22.12.2024

Starting at Roßmarkt, the Frankfurt Christmas Market stretches from the Zeil pedestrian promenade all the way down to the Römerberg old town centre and the River Main. Visitors may expect elaborately decorated stalls offering everything from arts and crafts to Christmas specialties from around the world. And let's not forget our towering Christmas tree at the Römerberg, scenically set against the picturesque backdrop of the old town and St Paul's Square.

There are plenty of festive stalls to be found at Hauptwache as well. A visit is a very worthwhile undertaking, with Frankfurt's largest shopping street, the Zeil, located right across from Hauptwache, inviting visitors for some holiday shopping.

Frankfurt's traditional holiday delicacies, which you absolutely must try, are a particularly pleasing highlight!

The famous Bethmännchen, a sweet marzipan pastry, are a must during the Advent season. They pair perfectly with a cup of hot apple wine, an essential in Frankfurt – especially on cold winter days.
