Strasbourg invites you to take a journey back in time to enjoy the magic and traditions of the city’s Christmas market. Largely given over to craftwork and Christmas decorations, the Christmas market has successfully managed to preserve the authenticity and spirit of the festive period. You’ll find craft and other gifts in every stall to place on and around your Christmas tree.

 

Wake up your senses with the many pleasures of a Strasbourg Christmas!

The Great Christmas Tree towers 30 m above the city centre. Grown in the Bois-de-Champ in the Vosges mountains, it is a major and instantly recognisable symbol of Strasbourg, Capital of Christmas. This huge, majestic tree with its many lights and coloured lamps fills place Kléber with a cascade of colours which will set your imagination alight.
