Koblenzer Weihnachtsmarkt - Am Plan

Am Plan is the birthplace of the Koblenzer Weihnachtsmarkt, the historic square where Koblenz's beloved Christmas market was first held over 40 years ago. Today it remains one of the most charming stops along the seven-square market route that winds through Koblenz's picturesque Altstadt each holiday season. The centerpiece of Am Plan is a magnificent large Christmas pyramid rising from the middle of the historic square, surrounded by cozy seating booths where visitors gather to share a warm Glühwein and soak in the festive atmosphere. The pyramid's inviting glow and the intimate scale of the square give Am Plan a distinctly gemütlich character that sets it apart from the busier market squares nearby. Shoppers will find a curated selection of goods including fine Indian scarves and textiles, a variety of decorative items, and even artisan dog treats — a quirky and beloved local touch. Families with young children will appreciate the traditional children's carousel spinning merrily on the square. After exploring the stalls, the surrounding Koblenz restaurants and cafés Am Plan offer a welcoming spot to wind down the evening. As part of the broader Koblenzer Weihnachtsmarkt, Am Plan continues operating through the Koblenzer Winterzeit period into early January, with food and beverage vendors keeping the festive spirit alive well past Christmas Day. On weekends, a saxophonist regularly serenades visitors with classic Christmas tunes, adding a live musical backdrop to the experience. Plan to arrive in the early evening when the pyramid lights shimmer at their most magical.
