Christmas in Mulhouse

With a firmly established tradition that goes back 30 years, you might say that the “City of the Bollwerk” has mastered the art of the Christmas market to perfection. The resulting warmly welcoming festive atmosphere guarantees you a typical stay in the heart of the festive season celebrations in Alsace. An unmissable time during which the whole city makes the utmost of its unmatched local knowhow.

An authentic, magical experience like no other

In the heart of its ancient fortifications, Mulhouse lights up to provide you with a poetic experience combining nature, authenticity and enchantment. From 24 November to 27 December 2023, its historic centre transforms into a fairytale forest and pays tribute to its inhabitants’ creativity with 80 chalets selling handcrafted products.

Glass of mulled wine in hand, immerse yourself in the joyful winter café atmosphere on Place des Cordiers. Then head for Place des Victoires and its richly decorated Christmas tree to admire the traditional seasonal illuminations. A Christmas market, seven different ambiences, each with its own special charm, await your discovery as you wend your way across the city’s squares and narrow little streets!

Your Christmas stay in Mulhouse

Fall in love with the local craftwork at Mulhouse’s Christmas market

With a rich industrial past, Mulhouse is famous for its textiles and every year the city decks out its Great Christmas Tree, Town Hall and façades in gorgeous Christmas fabrics. Each year, a new pattern is created by a local artist, and the fabric can be purchased at one of the Christmas shops. Make the most of them and fill up your bag with delicious bredeles, those traditional Alsatian Christmas biscuits.
