EXCELLENT. This market is huge, with some of the best food and drink you can find, beautiful hand-made gifts to buy and put under the Christmas tree, festive music and chatter - it's the most wonderful time of the year. In my opinion, it's the best Christmas market in Germany - way better than the famous market in Nuremberg. Do... More

Living a few blocks away from the Christmas Market, I visit it quite frequently and never tire of it. It is one of Germany's largest, oldest, most visited and most beautiful Christmas Markets with a lovely setting throughout a good share of contiguous downtown Stuttgart taking up all or portions of four squares and the connecting and adjacent streets by...

This Christmas market is one ot the largest in the area. I really enjoyed the different amount of items that were for sale. The food and sweets here are absolutely amazing! It seems like the entire city showed up in one spot! Tons and tons of people, but we still had a great time. I would deefinitely take the train.... More

For those of you who ever wanted to experience a traditional Christmas, walking around huts where you could believe that Santa and his elves are hard at work then the Stuttgart Christmas market is definitely for you. Despite its size - it is one of the largest Christmas markets in Germany, it still has a very tradtional look and feel.... More

Having visited many Christmas Markets, I am convinced that the Stuttgart Christmas Market is the best for shopping. If you are looking for something in particular, you are likely to find the largest selection and the best prices here, such as we did with a German-made smoking man wooden ornament. The Stuttgart Market's unique aspect is the stall roofs. I... More

We parked in a nearby garage and walked from the pedestrian only shopping area to the Christmas Market. There was a nice selection of food and shopping! More

this market flowed very well off the main shopping street but in the squares we felt that the cabins/stalls were too tightly packed and it was very hard to make out way through. Not as wide a variety of stalls as other chirstmas markets we have been too, but they were very well decorated especially the roofs of all which... More

Have been to this several times, and I like it very much, however honestly there is nothing here that makes it any better than any other weinachtsmarkt. I personally prefer the smaller venues (weil der stadt, bad winpfen) or more unique venues such as esslingen's medieval markt. More

Not sure there is a bad Christmas Market here in Europe during this time of the year. Being here in Germany for years , each year a trip to the Christmas Market is always enjoyable. The question you must ask yourself is, how much do I want to fight crowds? I am more likely to make the trip during a... More
