The Christmas Market of Nations is held in the historic wine-growing town of Rüdesheim am Rhein, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley. Spilling out of the town’s market square into cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses, stalls offer culinary specialties and handicrafts from all over the world. There’s live music, events including the St Thomas’ Night parade, and boat rides to the Christmas market at nearby Rheinstein Castle. Rüdesheim’s market can even be enjoyed from above, glühwein in hand, on a cable car ride up to the Niederwald Monument.
The Christmas Market of Nations in Rüdesheim was selected as one of the best Christmas markets in Germany in 2024. Read our article here!
