Christmas & New Year in Wilhelmshaven — sea, fresh wind and winter atmosphere

The holidays are approaching and many are wondering where they can best spend Christmas or the turn of the year. So why not escape from everyday life and enjoy the festive season on the wintry North Sea coast? Wilhelmshaven combines maritime atmosphere, cozy winter atmosphere and the impressive power of the North Sea to create a very special experience.

 

Christmas lights: “Christmas at the sea”

When the days get shorter and temperatures drop, Wilhelmshaven is transformed into a winter wonderland.

The Christmas market “Christmas by the sea” Valoisplatz is at the heart of the festive anticipation.

Enjoy the scent of roasted almonds, spicy mulled wine and freshly prepared treats as you stroll around the market.

Surrounded by lovingly decorated stands and festive sounds, an atmosphere is created that only a seaside town can offer.
A stroll with a hot cup of punch is the perfect way to end a day in the fresh North Sea air.

The clear North Sea wind refreshes the mind, while the view of the vast, open sea provides relaxation. The majestic Kaiser-Wilhelm-Brücke provides an impressive backdrop for atmospheric winter photos.
