Trierer Weihnachtsmarkt
20 November – 22 December 2026
Source: trierer-weihnachtsmarkt.de · read 2 November
The 46th Trier market, on the Hauptmarkt in front of the cathedral. The organiser publishes 20 November to 22 December 2026, closed on 22 November.
The season
Monday to Thursday 11:00–20:30, Friday and Saturday 11:00–22:00, Sunday 11:00–20:00.
Closed on Totensonntag, 22 November 2026.
What to notice
- The organiser places the market on the medieval Hauptmarkt and in front of the cathedral.
- It is a sensible stop between the Mosel and Luxembourg, and an easy day from Cologne only if you like a long train.
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.
- The hours page does not list dishes. Trier’s market food is the western-German usual: Glühwein, almonds, sausages.
Planning notes
- 22 November is closed.
- Sundays end at 20:00. Do not plan a late dinner on the square.
Getting there
Trier Hauptbahnhof is about 15 minutes on foot from the Hauptmarkt.
