Neuwintermarkt

The Neuwintermarkt (New Winter Market) at Neubrunnenplatz is one of Mainz's most exciting recent additions to the city's celebrated Christmas season, bringing festive cheer to a lively city-center square alongside the established Mainzer WinterZeit markets. Highlighted as a special attraction since its debut, this market has quickly earned its place as a key stop on any Mainz Christmas itinerary, drawing visitors who want to experience the full breadth of what the Weihnachtsstadt Mainz has to offer. Located at Neubrunnenplatz in the heart of Mainz's inner city, the Neuwintermarkt operates with the same welcoming hours as the other WinterZeit markets — Sunday through Thursday from 11:00 to 20:30, and Friday and Saturday from 11:00 to 21:00. The market runs from late November through December 23, then reopens December 27–30, giving visitors flexibility to visit before or after Christmas Day. The market is a participating stop on the popular GlühWeinWalk, a self-guided tour of Mainz's Christmas markets where a single ticket (€26) covers mulled wine, mulled gin, Christmas snacks at selected stalls, and a complimentary souvenir Glühwein mug — making it an ideal way to explore the Neuwintermarkt alongside the city's other festive venues. The market is closed on December 24, 25, 26, 31, and January 1. With its central location and connection to Mainz's broader Christmas market network, the Neuwintermarkt is perfect for visitors looking to combine a visit here with stops at the historic cathedral market, Schillerplatz, the castle courtyard, and other nearby WinterZeit locations all within easy walking distance.
