CHRISTMAS MARKET IN BOCHUM
November 21 - December 23 2024
One of the best Christmas markets in the Ruhr region of Germany is in Bochum. The medieval market square around the church known as Pauluskirche with its crafts stands and various delights is just one reason that hundreds of thousands of visitors return year after year.
Almost two hundred stalls standing between sprigs of fir, Christmas pyramids and bright, shining lights, create the perfect environment for good cheer.
Daily entertainment is provided on stage and many stalls are run by artisans who hand craft some of their wares at the market themselves. Tree decorations, ceramics, glassware, candles and wooden toys are amongst the gifts available for purchase in Bochum.
Helping to get people into the mood for Christmas is the Ruhr region’s one and only, highly curious Flying Santa. Artists soar above the heads of kids and adults alike on a wonderful sleigh drawn by reindeer. Every evening between 5pm and 7pm.
