Baden-Baden. A truly traditional Christmas market awaits us in front of the Kurhaus in Baden-Baden until January 6, 2026. The UNESCO World Heritage city in the heart of the Black Forest mountains is a magnet for visitors. The "live program on the sky stage" is framed by numerous market stalls and beckons visitors to the enchanting Fairy Tale Route. There are not only illuminated church windows but also a romantic nativity scene exhibition. A carousel and a small Ferris wheel, as well as a children's Christmas bakery, will delight the little ones. Let's meet in the exclusive gourmet igloos that the spa town offers during these pre-Christmas days. The Baden-Baden Christmas market in the picturesque spa gardens in front of the Kurhaus is, of course, free!
