Christmas Magic in Goslar: Experience the Festive Glow of the Old Town

Christmas in Goslar is truly special – and this year, you can look forward to an even more diverse program! From November 27th to December 30th, 2024, the historic town center will shine with festive lights, featuring the Christmas market and the Christmas forest, transforming the town into a winter wonderland.


A Feast for the Senses: Goslar’s Christmas Market and Christmas Forest


As soon as the first lights of the Christmas market illuminate the Marktplatz, the town is filled with a unique magic. Beautifully decorated wooden huts invite visitors to stroll, enjoy the scent of cinnamon, baked apples, and roasted almonds, while soaking in the festive atmosphere. The Christmas market extends beyond the Marktplatz to include the Marktkirchhof and Marktstraße, offering delicious culinary treats, handmade gifts, and a wide range of festive activities for both children and adults.


For the Whole Family: Entertainment and Creativity


There are many highlights for children, including the Lantern Parade on November 27th and the creative Christmas workshop at the MachMit!Haus. On December 6th, St. Nicholas visits Goslar to surprise children with sweets and small gifts. A special attraction is the Christmas forest, where the goats from the North Pole settle in a wintery igloo village. For a unique view, take a ride on the “Gose-Rad” Ferris wheel and enjoy a spectacular panorama of the town from 16 meters up!


Magical Moments and Exciting City Tours


New this year is the “Atmospheric Christmas Forest” city tour, which takes place every Friday at 4:00 PM. Explore Goslar’s historical streets and end the tour with a warm cup of mulled wine in the enchanting Christmas forest – an unforgettable experience!


Don’t miss the Goslar Fairy Tale Days, running from December 1st to 24th. Every day, a Christmas story will be read aloud at the Christmas market – perfect entertainment for young and old.


The Christmas Market: A Celebration in the Old Town


Another magical experience is climbing the “Himmelsleiter” (Sky Ladder) to the tower of the Marktkirche, where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the snow-covered town. It’s the perfect place to take a break from the holiday hustle and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
