Esslingen Weihnachtsmarkt







Esslingen dates back to 777, so it's not surprising that the town has a historical feel. The best time to experience it is during the Esslingen Medieval Market and Christmas Market, held every year on the Rathausplatz and Marktplatz squares.


Esslingen am Neckar offers with its beautiful half-timbered houses, its narrow streets in the old city and its nice market place an impressive scenery for the most interesting Christmas Markets.


A time machine will send Esslingen back into the exciting times of the Middle Ages. The medieval market will take place on the Town Hall Square, which provides a contemporary atmosphere.
