Ulm Christmas Market Twinkling lights at the Minster
For four weeks, Ulm shines particularly brightly – at the traditional Christmas market on the Münsterplatz. Standing at the foot of the Gothic Minster, with its magnificent portal and the tallest church spire in the world, this Christmas market draws visitors from near and far every year. The cosy, winding lanes of stalls and the lavishly decorated stands are set against the backdrop of Ulm, an attractive shopping city.

Day 1: Switzerland - Ulm
Journey via Lake Constance, past Bregenz, to Ulm. Arrival in Ulm at approx. 13:00. The tourist heart of the city is Ulm Minster, with the tallest church spire in the world. Alongside many other notable buildings, this is also where the festively decorated Advent stalls gather. Enjoy the pre-Christmas atmosphere on Münsterplatz. Culinary specialities, toys, handicrafts and Christmas tree decorations, as well as a children's carousel and a sheep pen with live animals, make the Ulm Christmas market the city's most important event for four weeks every year. In front of the Minster's main portal, pre-Christmas music and singing are performed every day during the market. With its direct connection to the pedestrian zones, a shopping stroll is the perfect way to round off the day.
Day 2: Ulm - Switzerland
Free time at your leisure. Would you like to visit the Ulm Christmas market once more, or perhaps go shopping in the beautiful city centre instead? A stroll through the Fishermen's and Tanners' Quarter is almost a must. Since the end of the 1970s, this historic craftsmen's quarter has been lovingly restored and charms visitors with its pretty houses.
Return journey via Lake Constance to Switzerland or extension night.
