Königstein Christmas Market with Bastei Bridge Tour

Discover two enchanting experiences in one unforgettable journey. Begin your day with an awe-inspiring visit to the world-famous Bastei Bridge, offering breathtaking panoramas of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Then, prepare to be transported into a winter wonderland at Königstein’s ‘Winter Fairytale’ Christmas markets. We ensure a hassle-free journey by picking you up directly from your hotel in Prague and Dresden, taking care of every detail.

The Königstein Christmas market is held on all four Advent weekends and offers an atmospheric setting. The eventful Christmas market at the Fortress features hand-crafted stalls based on historical models made of wooden slats and fabric panels. Traders are offering their goods in traditional garb. Goulash soup and Fortress punch are steaming in large copper kettles on open fires. There are demonstrations of traditional crafts, stage programs with folk music, dance, and artistry, and living animals in the Christmas crib. The market also features weather-protected strolling areas in the underground casemates, an electoral table with Dresden china in Friedrichsburg Castle, and Germany’s longest Advent calendar.

At the end of your journey, we’ll return you to your starting point, leaving you with wonderful memories and perhaps some unique souvenirs from the Christmas markets.
