Mainz Christmas market

Glittering lights in the shadow of the cathedral The Christmas season in Mainz is so atmospheric: against the historic backdrop of the 1000-year-old St. Martin’s Cathedral, the Mainz Christmas market shines with festively decorated stalls and a romantic Christmas village on Liebfrauenplatz.
Carousels and handmade toys make children’s hearts beat faster on the cathedral squares.
The eleven-metre high, richly decorated Christmas pyramid enchants directly at the Höfchen, the main entrance to the market.
Just a few steps further on, the hand-carved, life-size nativity figures in front of the Gotthard Chapel of St. Martin’s Cathedral are impressive.
At the lower entrance to the market, 18 hand-carved angel figures leisurely make their rounds on the roof of the nine-meter-high music box.
The romantic Christmas village with a campfire and mulled wine is located diagonally in front of the Gutenberg Museum Mainz print store.
Reservations for the cozy wooden barrel huts can be made at mainzerweihnachtsdorf.de. “WinterZeit” markets The Mainz WinterZeit markets also bring a festive touch to various squares in the city center: You will find the markets on Schillerplatz, Hopfengarten, Schloss-Innenhof and Bahnhofsvorplatz. http://www.mainz.de/weihnachtsmarkt
