🎄 UPDATED FOR 2024 🎄
Strasbourg markets itself as "the capital of Christmas," and they live up to the hype!
This guide has everything you need to see the best of the markets in Strasbourg, along with 3 small towns worth day trips. I give details on what to look for, how to get there, which are the priorities if you don't have time for all of them.
In this guide, you'll get:
- dates & locations for the markets
- details on which are the more major ones and which are smaller/more niche
- themes, or what distinguishes each from the others
- specialty foods to try
- how to get between towns without a car
- hotel suggestions for Strasbourg

Strasbourg's Christmas markets are some of the best I've ever seen!
It's one of the best cities for decoration I've seen, and the whole place feels like a step back in time.
Strasbourg is in the French region of Alsace, on the border of Germany and France. The region has changed nationalities more times than I can count over the centuries, so culturally it has the best of both worlds!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater!
I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where!
I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too!
If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you!
My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny.
I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
