Promotions and Shopping in the Christmas City of Karlsruhe

An extraordinary festive experience is guaranteed by several agents within the inner-city that offer Christmas sales, promotions and festively-decorated shopwindows. The alluring scent of Christmas treats hovers in the air and invites to a tasty shopping break. An experience that appeals to all senses and can surely not be found in any online store.

Each December, the city magically transforms into a cozy sea of festive lights; the shopwindows display festive decoration and the soothing scent of cinnamon and baked goods hangs in the air. There’s no doubt about it: Christmas City Karlsruhe is perfect for long strolls and relaxed days during the jolliest time of the year.
