The Trier Christmas Market is one of the loveliest in Germany. It is set in a wonderful Roman and early Medieval setting. There are 95 attractively decorated chalets in the main market square.

There is a program for all the family, which is changing every day, with songsmiths, start tenors and puppet theater. And Santa, of course!

In the 90 festively decorated wooden booths you will find Christmas articles such as Christmas decorations, wooden toys, candles, hand-blown or engraved glassware, gift articles, ceramics and much more. Good food awaits you as well: bratwurst sausages, potato pancakes, sweets, hot tea and mulled wine.

Trier was established as a city by the Celts 400 BC and the Roman conquered it in 16 BC and established a fortified rectangular city still visible today. The city later became the capital of the province of Belgic Gaul; after the Diocletian Reforms, it became the capital of the prefecture of the Gauls, overseeing much of the Western Roman Empire.
