Winter Events

In winter, it's Christmas anticipation and light art, when the city begins to shine and sparkle with the Christmas market and Christmas Garden at Festung Ehrenbreitstein! A special highlight in winter is of course the carnival with the popular Shrove Monday parade.

Koblenz Christmas Market
Every year during Advent, Koblenz is transformed into an atmospheric pre-Christmas paradise: The scent of freshly roasted almonds, mulled wine and gingerbread wafts through the streets. At the arts and crafts market, numerous stalls with handmade unique items invite you to a cozy gift hunt.
You can stroll through the festively decorated city center from one favorite spot to the next in complete relaxation. A particularly contemplative sight awaits you at Jesuitenplatz. There you will find the city's largest Advent calendar, composed of the colorfully lit dormer windows of the baroque town hall.
