Bamberg Christmas Market

Bamberger Weihnachtsmarkt

24 November – 23 December 2026

Source: bamberg.info · read 2 November

A free market on three squares in the pedestrian centre. Bamberg Tourism publishes 24 November to 23 December 2026.

The season

Monday to Thursday 09:30–20:00, Friday and Saturday 09:30–21:00, Sunday 11:00–20:00.

What to notice

• The tourism page names the three squares. You can walk them in one loop.
• It opens earlier in the morning than most markets, which suits a day on the way to Nuremberg.

What to eat and drink

Unless a sentence names its source, these are specialities associated with the city, not a confirmed menu for 2026. Stall lists change every season.

• Bamberg’s smoked beer, Rauchbier, is the local drink to know. Whether a stall pours it is a different question; the brewery taverns do.

Planning notes

• Go in the morning. By late afternoon the pedestrian streets are the market’s queue.
• The cathedral quarter is uphill and separate. See it in daylight, then come down to the stalls.

Getting there

Bamberg station is about 20 minutes on foot, or a short bus, from Maximiliansplatz.

When to go

A weekday morning in the first week of December, before continuing to Nuremberg.
