A feast for the senses at Bernhard-Minetti-Platz
After an extensive shopping spree along Holtenauer Straße, the cosy Christmas market invites you to warm up with a mulled wine, a Jägerlade or a hot chocolate. Although the market is small, it offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. The atmospherically illuminated Christmas tree shining in vibrant colours is a real eye-catcher and brings Christmas magic to the shopping street.
Kiel's cosiest Christmas market
Discover the magic of winter on Bernhard-Minetti-Platz. Here, cosiness takes centre stage and we invite residents and guests to enjoy the festive atmosphere and a nice get-together.
In addition to enchanting lighting and an exquisite range of drinks, the small Christmas market is the ideal place to feel good in company. Here you will find a few small, cosy Christmas huts with a wide range of food and drink.
The little ones will also be delighted, as the children's carousel will make their eyes light up! And, of course, Father Christmas will also be stopping by this year to make the little ones' hearts beat faster.
Combine relaxed Christmas shopping in authentic, regional shops with a visit to the Christmas market. Holtenauer Straße can be easily reached by numerous bus lines from Kiel Central Station.
