Fairs and Markets

The people of Heidelberg know how to celebrate. Guests are most welcome to join the festive castle illuminations, the hustle and bustle of the Old town autumn festival, and the candlelight charm of the Christmas Market.

Apart from these special occaions, weekly food markets beckon Wednesdays and Saturdays on Market Square. Lovers of flea markets can rummage to their heart’s content on two Saturdays per month on Messplatz, and further special markets (pottery, foods) enrich the city year round. For dates of these, contact the Citizens’ Service on +49 (0)6221. 52 17000.
