In the time before Christmas, Münster's city center hosts not one, not two, but five Christmas markets at the same time. About 300 stands from sales to food stalls invite you to stroll and enjoy. And for this, people come not only from Münster and the surrounding area, but also from the Netherlands, for example.
In the following, the individual Christmas markets are briefly presented to you, so that you can get a first impression about them.
