Welcome to our review of the magical Christmas season in the Christmas city of Mainz!
In 2024, we once again welcomed numerous visitors who explored the historic Mainz Christmas Market and the charming “Mainz WinterZeit” markets on Schillerplatz, in the Hopfengarten, on the station forecourt and in the courtyard of the Electoral Palace. 416,000 visitors came to the “Mainz WinterZeit” markets last year.
Another special highlight was the New Winter Market on Neubrunnenplatz.
The festive atmosphere was enhanced by the ice skating rink on Laubenheimer Höhe, the Christmas family tours at the Mainz State Museum and the wide range of food and hotel offers. In addition, Mainz’s retailers ensured an atmospheric shopping season with attractive Christmas offers.
Another highlight was the “Mainz Advent Moments” Advent calendar, which was organized for the second time and featured a special event or surprise every day in December.
We would like to thank everyone who was part of this festive season and look forward to presenting you with more information about Christmas City Mainz 2025 from November!
