Wiesbaden's Christmas City: City Draws Conclusions

Wiesbaden’s annual 'Christmas City' event has drawn tens of thousands of visitors this year. The festival, organised by the city’s cultural office and local tourism groups, featured new attractions and expanded access for families and tourists alike.

The event introduced several major draws, including the Shooting Star Market, a mobile ice rink, and a Ferris wheel. A new Advent market also made its debut, adding to the festive atmosphere. Many of these attractions, such as the Winter Lodge, will stay open until late January.

Free public transport and extra parking options helped visitors reach the event more easily. Families flocked to children’s activities, with craft workshops and ice skating sessions fully booked throughout the season. The festival gave a noticeable boost to local businesses. Retail shops and restaurants saw higher foot traffic, while hotels and guesthouses reported an increase in international tourists.

This year’s 'Christmas City' has proven a hit with residents and visitors. The extended opening of key attractions and improved transport links ensured strong attendance. The event’s success also brought economic benefits to Wiesbaden’s retail and tourism sectors.
