The Strasbourg Christmas market
One or two days
Late November to 24 December
The Strasbourg market has been held since 1570 and now spreads over several squares of the Grande-Île: Place Broglie, the cathedral square and Place Kléber, where the Great Christmas Tree stands. In 2026 it runs from 27 November to 24 December. You will find crafts, decorations, breads and Alsatian sweets; check the ingredients of food stalls, and visit on weekdays to avoid the crowds.
Good to know
- Hotels fill early for December, so book months ahead
- It is cold: bring a winter coat
