Christmas Market at the Cathedral

Walking to the Christmas market in Passau is already a highlight; experience atmospheric lighting in the beautiful alleys and streets of the city, walk past historic buildings of the CITY_OF_THREE_RIVERS, all while always heading towards the impressive towers of St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Directly in front of the baroque landmark of Passau, you will find the festive market with many different booths and stands.

Culinary pleasures

The smell of gingerbread and roasted almonds, of mulled wine, bratwurst and bangers fill the air. Fresh fruit dipped in chocolate on one side, hearty bread and “Sengzelten” (a Bavarian delicacy similar to a tarte flambée) on the other: No one leaves hungry when that many delicious treats are involved. But the Christmas market in Passau does offer so much more than solely food. Each year, the merchants for the market, who offer only quality goods, are carefully chosen. Individually painted Christmas baubles, woodcarvings, nativity and crib figurines, jewellery, goods for croqueting and knitting, candles and lights... - the perfect opportunity to hunt for some creative and unique Christmas presents. Non-profit organisations also offer creative present ideas. With every present you buy, you also contribute to a good cause.
