Deggendorf pulls out all the stops at Christmas: there are twinkling lights everywhere you look, Christmas carols fill the air, and the aroma of festive treats wafts from the stalls. The Christmas market, which is more like a Christmas village, is held around the old town hall and in the pedestrian area on Oberer Stadtplatz square. Its beautifully decorated, shingle-roofed stalls offer all manner of seasonal wares. On weekends there is a programme of entertainment on the Christmas stage. For a delightful festive distraction, why not admire the beautiful Nativity scenes in the shop window displays? You can also go on a guided tour of the town hall tower with its historical living quarters. The views of Deggendorf and its snow-covered roofs are hard to beat for Christmas charm.
