Security Measures: Pedestrians and cyclists may be subject to random checks at access points and inside the Christmas Markets. Large items (suitcases, backpacks, cargo bikes) will be systematically inspected when entering the Grande-Île.
The Strasbourg Christmas Market will take place from November 26th, starting at 2:00 PM, until December 24th at 6:00 PM. The chalets will be open from 11:30 AM to 9:00 PM. The OFF Market, located at Place Grimeissen, is open from November 26th to December 24th.
The Christmas illuminations will be visible from November 26th to January 5th.
To navigate the city center and find all the chalets and activities, pick up a map of Strasbourg, Capital of Christmas, available at information points at Place de la Gare, Place Kléber, and many other partner locations. To make the most of the Christmas atmosphere, plan your visit in advance. Crowd numbers are generally lower on Mondays and Tuesdays, and higher on Wednesdays and weekends.
