Lakeside Christmas Market

Located directly on the waterfront, the market invites visitors to stroll and marvel: they can enjoy traditional handicrafts, regional specialties, and vegan delicacies—all against the impressive backdrop of Constance Harbor with views of the snow-capped Alps and the majestic Imperia statue. Every year, over 500,000 guests are enchanted by the winter atmosphere between the city garden, Lake Constance, and a sea of lights. With the widespread introduction of reusable tableware, the use of a battery booster instead of a diesel generator, and the promotion of climate-friendly travel by coach, the Christmas market shows how sustainability and tradition can blend harmoniously.
