Mannheim Christmas Market On Your Own

Self-Guide Exploration of Yuletide Tradition Immerse yourself in the spirt of the season during a self-guided exploration of Mannheim’s Christmas market. Late this afternoon, transfer by shuttle to the market; set in front of the city’s iconic Wasserturm (“Water Tower”), it is a festive highlight in Baden-Württemberg and one of oldest of its kind in Germany. Upon arrival, set out to stroll its more than 200 festively decorated yuletide stalls offering traditional German Christmas goods, handmade crafts and delicious treats at your own pace. Enjoy time to browse for unique gifts as you relish in the inviting aromas and cheerful sounds that permeate this enchanting atmosphere. You may also choose to enjoy a variety of attractions, perhaps taking a ride on the vintage, 130-year-old carousel. When you are ready, make use of the hourly shuttle service and return to your awaiting ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines. Total time walking or standing is normally not longer than 1.5 hours.
