Frankfurt celebrates… the Frankfurt Christmas Market 23.11 – 22.12.2026 Starting at **Roßmarkt**, the Christmas market stretches along **Zeil** down to **Römerberg** and **Mainkai**, where the children's Christmas market is celebrating its premiere this year. Visitors may expect elaborately decorated stalls offering everything from arts and crafts to Christmas specialties from around the world. And let's not forget our towering Christmas tree at the Römerberg, scenically set against the picturesque backdrop of the old town and St Paul's Square. There are plenty of festive stalls to be found at **Hauptwache** as well. A visit is a very worthwhile undertaking, with Frankfurt's largest shopping street, the Zeil, located right across from Hauptwache, inviting visitors for some holiday shopping. Frankfurt's traditional holiday delicacies, which you absolutely must try, are a particularly pleasing highlight! The famous **Bethmännchen**, a sweet marzipan pastry, are a must during the Advent season. They pair perfectly with a cup of **hot apple wine**, an essential in Frankfurt – especially on cold winter days. - Ten large-scale folk festivals per year organised by the Frankfurt Tourismus- und Congress GmbH - A chain carousel turns in the evening light.
