Christmas Market, Koblenz
Five tranquil locations in the Old Town of Coblenz, more than 130 festively
glittering Christmas booths – with gingerbread hearts and shining lights.
One of the oldest cities in German transforms into a
Christmas paradise during Advent where romantics can stroll through.
Coblenz alone expects more than 300.000 visitors from all over the world in
the four weeks up to Christmas - who will be looking for authentic and original
attractions in a special setting – quite apart from the magic of the booths,
mulled wine and Riesling Stollen. A new door opens every day in the 24
dormer windows of the baroque town hall, well known A-Capella-choirs and
music societies will perform Christmas songs from all over the world at the
weekend during the »Christmas Vokal«, to provide a contemplative mood and
romantics arrive in an historic stage coach on tour between the Rhine and the Mosel.
The city at the Deutsches Eck will send specially trained »Christmas Guides« to the atmospheric Christmas stroll so that overseas visitors can also discover smaller locations with lots of Christmas flair. Retailers will keep their doors open until midnight during »Starlight Shopping« on 10 December for a comfortable shopping spree.
