On Rathausplatz, Martin-Luther-Platz, along Philippine-Welser-Straße, in Maximilianstraße and in front of the Moritzkirche, the stalls of one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Germany - the Augsburg Christmas Market - are lined up. Around one million visitors from Germany and abroad enjoy its wonderful atmosphere every year.
The Augsburg Christmas Market is considered one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Germany and is based on over 500 years of tradition.
The market was first mentioned in 1498 and has been held on the Rathausplatz square since 1963. The Renaissance architecture of the town hall and the Perlachturm tower form a historically appealing backdrop for the Christmas market.
However, the Augsburg Christmas market is not only known and loved throughout Germany, but also beyond. Every year, thousands of tourists come to Augsburg to experience the market and its famous angels' games. Bus tourism in particular has experienced an enormous upswing.
