Christmas Market Karlsruhe

Journey via Basel and Freiburg, arriving in Karlsruhe at approx. 12:30. Stroll along Kaiserstrasse, the main shopping street in the city centre, where you will find numerous shops and cafés. Whatever else shoppers and window-shoppers are looking for can be found in the centre, above all in Waldstrasse, Herrenstrasse and Ritterstrasse in the western part of the fan-shaped layout, as well as in Erbprinzenstrasse, which crosses them. The Christmas market is located right in the city centre in front of the historic Postgalerie on Stephansplatz. On Friedrichsplatz, colourful stalls and a wide variety of delicacies beckon. In Lammstrasse, a 17-metre-high mulled wine pyramid catches the eye. Towards evening, a lively programme of music and other performances begins.
