During Advent Karlsruhe turns into a magical Christmas world with the illuminated Christmas market on the market square with St. Nicholas and Santa Claus, with romantic tours by horse-drawn carriage, with kids’ land St. Stephan, with ice skating and curling on one of Germany’s largest open-air ice rinks at over 1000m2 and including a winter lounge. The medieval Christmas market in front of Castle Karlsburg (in the suburb of Durlach) promises an exciting trip back through time. Dive into a world from times gone by with campfires, torches, craftsmen, musicians, jesters, knights, and minstrels, with crossbow shooting and mouse roulette, and as a grand finale a fantastic fire show. A wonderful experience for all the family.
