Family/children
The Christmas market unfolds in the Nikolaikirchhof in the heart of Leipzig’s historic old town.
At the center of the square is the eight-meter-high Erzgebirge Christmas pyramid, creating a festive atmosphere, especially in the evening light. The lovingly decorated stalls offer traditional Feuerzangenbowle (a type of punch), regional specialties, handicrafts, and sweet treats.
Nestled between historic facades and important sites such as St. Nicholas Church, the Christmas market in St. Nicholas Church courtyard offers a place to pause and enjoy the Christmas hustle and bustle.

The dates for 2026 are subject to change.
