Bremen Christmas Market 2026

Bremen has two Christmas markets that belong together, both free to enter. The main market is around the Town Hall and the Roland statue, with the Schnoor quarter and Boettcherstrasse nearby. The Schlachte-Zauber, a maritime and medieval market on the Weser promenade, is for many visitors the most beautiful Christmas market of all - some travel 500 km for it - with dressed-up pirates that children love (next edition 23 November - 23 December 2026). Friday and Saturday evenings are very crowded, and a tram runs through the main market.
