Düsseldorf Christmas Market

Christmas markets are a popular tradition that attracts millions of visitors every year. But did you know that the Christmas market in Düsseldorf is one of the largest in all of Germany? With over 200 stalls and attractions, the Düsseldorf Christmas Market is an absolute highlight of the pre-Christmas season.

In 2025, Düsseldorf shines in festive splendour with its Christmas market. There are various themed markets in the city centre, including the Old Town Market, the Arts and Crafts Market and the Fairytale Market. Historic carousels, arts and crafts stalls and food stands are also set up along the Rhine riverbank between Burgplatz and the Holzbrücke at the old Rhine harbour. The Christmas market offers a special shopping experience and a wonderful atmosphere.

Düsseldorf during the pre-Christmas season – it smells of roasted almonds and Christmas spices.

This year, the Christmas market opens its gates from 20 November to 30 December 2026.

Centro Christmas Market in Oberhausen

Even the Christ Child shops here: three Christmas worlds surround Europe’s largest shopping centre.

The Christmas market at Centro Oberhausen invites visitors to stroll, browse and dream. At the “Wichtelmarkt”, fairy tales from childhood come to life. At the “Bergweihnachtsmarkt” and in “Santa’s Village”, visitors can discover plenty of things to try, admire and give as gifts – from cosy and rustic to colourful American-style Christmas charm. The new evening Christmas light show on the Centro Promenade also creates a festive atmosphere.

Exciting Christmas wonderlands at Centro Oberhausen

150 wooden huts invite visitors to look, marvel, smell, taste and enjoy the Christmas market at Centro Oberhausen. From mid-November until Christmas, the leisure and shopping centre Centro Oberhausen is transformed into an atmospheric Christmas wonderland. Three Christmas markets open at the same time and welcome visitors with mulled wine, arts and crafts, festive stalls and many attractions. Whether it is the Bergweihnachtsmarkt, Santa’s Village or the Wichtelmarkt, there is something for everyone. Thanks to the different themed worlds, every taste is catered for – from a classic Christmas market to a lively alpine hut atmosphere. Santa’s Village welcomes visitors with more than 50 colourful Christmas huts.

The Wichtelmarkt is just the right place for fairy-tale fans and families with young children. In addition to a talking fairy-tale tree, little gnome figures and other mythical creatures, rides on the Wichtelbahn and the colourful Wichtel carousel make children’s hearts beat faster.
