Twinkling fairy lights turn Rostock’s historical
town centre into one of the largest and
prettiest Christmas markets in northern
Germany. It all begins when Father Christmas
arrives by boat in the harbour. Stalls
and festive wooden huts extend from Neuer
Markt square to the Fishermen’s Bastion,
surrounded by the brick-built churches and
town houses of this famous port. It’s everything
a Christmas market should be and
more. Culinary highlights include regional
specialities such as smoked fish, smoked sausage and schmalzkuchen (bite-size
donuts). Legends are re-enacted on the
fairytale stage, while carousels provide
old-fashioned fairground thrills.
