To make your shopping even merrier, all vendors are neatly categorised by the type of product they sell—helping you discover the perfect gift with ease.
Most are nestled inside cosy buildings, warmed tents, or charming tiny shops, so you can browse in comfort while soaking in the spirit of the season. And new this year, we’re excited to welcome back vendors in our Gallery on the Green Congress Hall—another magical place to uncover holiday treasures!
Make the most of your visit to the International Christmas Market by planning your timing!
Fridays are the perfect choice for a more relaxed experience, and if you arrive after 6 p.m., you’ll be treated to the twinkle of holiday lights.
For a quieter stroll, consider coming 1–2 hours before closing, when the market feels especially cosy...and less crowded. Keep in mind that weekends from 2–5 p.m. are the busiest, as everyone flocks to soak in the festive spirit during these times!
