2012 dates to be confirmed - below gives a taste of what has happened last year
(23 Nov - 22 December 2011)
Heidelberg's Christmas market extends over no fewer than five squares: Kornmarkt, Marktplatz, Universitätsplatz, Anatomiegarten and Bismarckplatzr
.
It is great for a leisurely browse and has stunning views of the castle and the old quarter with its beautiful Christmas decorations. A wide array of crafts and tasty regional delicacies all add to the Christmas spirit in the historic town of Heidelberg.
A new attraction at the Heidelberg Christmas market is “Christmas on Ice” situated on Karlsplatz.
With a spectacular view of the Castle and surrounded by trees glistening with hundreds of stars, residents and guests can skate round the open-air ice rink to the accompaniment of Christmas music
.
Another premiere and fascinating experience will be the Art-Advent Calendar at Heidelberg Castle, which has already decorated the Vienna City Hall.
From 1st to 24th December, the windows of the English building serve as a multidimensional advent calendar from behind which the works of prominent personalities will appear. From original works, backlit duplicates are produced and tailor-made to be integrated into the facade of the Heidelberg Castle.
11am-9pm daily
Christmas on Ice: every day, 10am-9.30pm until 8 Jan 2012
Times subject to change on 24 & 25 Dec.
