Intro

Christmas in the heart of Thun at the Thun Christmas market

Thun's Christmas market brings a festive atmosphere to the city center. The alleyways around the orphanage and Mühleplatz are transformed into a magical Christmas paradise that delights people from the region and far and wide. Whether Thun residents, tourists or Christmas market enthusiasts - everyone will find festive inspiration and a place to linger here.

Stroll between the wonderfully illuminated little houses in search of special products.

Ho-Ho-Ho: Santa Claus comes to the Christmas market

Wearing a red coat with a long white beard, Santa Claus travels all over the world during the Christmas season. There's hardly room for everything in his calendar. But we have heard that he wants to be at the Thun Christmas market.

What goodies does Santa Claus have in his bags for all the children?

St. Nicholas is looking forward to seeing everyone - young and old.
