Set in an astoundingly beautiful ambi-ance on the ancestral seat of the Prussian Royal family, the Royal Weihnachtsmarkt (a traditional German Christmas Market)

held within the Hohenzollern Castle is rightly regarded as being one of the most beautiful Weihnachtsmarkts in

Germany. A broad spectrum of exhibitors as well as a stylish supporting program

combine an environment that invites de-light, forever remembered experiences,

and discovery. It’s extraordinary location prompted Emperor William II to proclaim

“The panorama from the Hohenzollern Castle is truly worth a journey” ...not to

mention, there are plenty of unique stalls to shop!

Starting at only $19! Fee includes transportation, shuttle and castle grounds entrance.
