Basel Christmas market
Overview
Intro
Enjoy the Christmas spirit in Basel.
The Basel Christmas Market is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric Christmas markets in Europe and transforms the city into a sparkling winter wonderland every year. Visitors can expect a magical mix of traditional crafts, culinary delights and festively decorated alleyways in the heart of Basel's historic old town.
Locations:
Barfüsserplatz
Barfüsserplatz is the heart of the Basel Christmas market. Countless stalls offering handmade gifts, warming drinks and regional specialties are lined up in a festive atmosphere.
Münsterplatz
On Münsterplatz, the historic ambience of the imposing Basel Cathedral creates a unique Christmas atmosphere. The majestically decorated fir trees and the Palatinate make a visit here particularly contemplative.
Claraplatz
The Christmas market on Claraplatz combines tradition with urban flair. With a variety of culinary offerings and a lovingly designed hut, this part of the market invites you to discover new flavors and spend cozy moments.
Further Advent highlights:
Zauberhöfe Basel
The Zauberhöfe are hidden, atmospheric courtyards in the Old Town that only open their doors during the Advent season. Each courtyard is individually staged and offers little surprises - from art installations to atmospheric light shows.
Advent alley
The Adventsgass takes visitors into a lovingly designed Christmas world where handmade arts and crafts, design highlights and fine delicacies take center stage. Ideal for anyone looking for special gift ideas.
Basler Wish Book
The Basel Wish Book is a very special highlight. Young and old can enter their heartfelt wishes here and become part of one of the city's most beautiful Advent traditions.
