If you have time, make sure to stop by the Thurn and Taxis Romantic Christmas Market within St. Emmeram’s Palace for a more unique, fairytale-like setting.
The Regensburger Christkindlmarkt dates back to the 17th century and is located in the historic city center, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The market offers a variety of traditional and regional products, such as gingerbread, mulled wine, and handcrafted souvenirs. The town is beautifully decorated for the Advent season, easy to get to, and easy to walk around.
There was a solid amount of food options here, along with some new options we hadn’t seen yet. Plan on coming hungry! Here are the top foods at Regensburg Christmas Market:
There were some rides here, but mostly for small children. There was a carousel that our 4 year old was almost too big for! The main attraction at Regensburg Christmas Market is the stalls. They were all unique and you could watch the craftsmen at work! We saw a glass blower in action and a few people carving ornaments out of wood. It’s really special seeing the item you’re about to purchase being made right before your eyes.
Yes it is! While the Regensburg Christmas Market is unique and festive, what makes this market special is the town. The beautifully colored buildings, the Stone Bridge (One of the oldest bridges in Germany!), and the historic Sausage Kitchen, which is one of the world’s oldest restaurants!
If you’re planning on visiting, make sure you give yourself some extra time to go explore.
