Christmas market Osnabrück

One of the most beautiful places to celebrate Christmas in northern Germany is Osnabrück's historic Christmas market. Before the opening, the life-size figures of the giant music box move into the cathedral square. Roasted almonds, cheese grills and mulled wine, the many stalls are full of them.

Osnabrück itself is a historic city with ornate half-timbered facades, the town hall and the more than 100-year-old merry-go-round. The perfect nostalgic setting to spend Christmas. And still need to stock up on Christmas presents? The decorated shops and boutiques in Osnabrück city centre are the right place for that too!

Would you like to combine a day at the Osnabrück Christmas market with a Christmas break in the surrounding area? From holiday park EuroParcs De Achterhoek, it's about a 1.5-hour drive.
