Follow the tempting aroma of roasted almonds through downtown Oldenburg and discover the Lamberti Market on Rathausmarkt and Schloßplatz. Here, you’ll find handmade goods and delicious treats in over 100 lovingly decorated wooden stalls. The festive market atmosphere is set against the backdrop of the historic buildings of the castle, the Old City Hall, and St. Lamberti Church, which create a contemplative ambiance.
At the Gleispark, not far from the train station, the winter market opens in mid-November. In an alternative yet modern atmosphere, you’ll find mulled wine, small snacks, and handmade goods. Artfully painted shipping containers and small wooden booths serve as the market stalls.
From Delicious Treats to Handmade Goods
Raise a glass of mulled wine or children’s punch, laugh together, and look forward to the upcoming holidays—that’s just as much a part of visiting the Christmas market as the delicious food. Enjoy regional delicacies and classics like Oldenburg kale or flambéed salmon. There are also plenty of vegetarian treats on offer. Of course, sweet temptations like pastries, nuts, chocolate, gingerbread, and candy canes are a must at the Christmas market.If you’re looking for Christmas gifts, you can stroll through the stalls selling arts and crafts. There you’ll discover high-quality leather goods, finely crafted pottery, and wooden toys. The traditional Ferris wheel on Schlossplatz is sure to bring a sparkle to the eyes of visitors of all ages. Make yourself comfortable in a gondola and enjoy the view of the castle and the sparkling sea of lights below you.
