Parking chaos at the Christmas market in Goslar: Tips for visitors!
The Christmas market in Goslar begins this week and the anticipation is palpable. Every year the market in the historic old town, which impresses with its picturesque half-timbered houses, attracts thousands of visitors. A highlight is the Christmas forest, which creates a magical atmosphere with 60 illuminated conifers. In addition to the festive stands and treats, there is also a lot to talk about about the parking situation, which makes a big splash during the event.
In order to best manage the rush of guests, the city administration has issued special parking regulations for weekends during the market. The residents benefit from this because the parking spaces on Bolzenstrasse, Glockengiesserstrasse and Marktstrasse are reserved exclusively for them. Residents with the appropriate parking permits can use the spaces on these streets: In Glockengiesserstrasse, parking permits B, G and H are available to residents, while Marktstrasse requires permits A, B and C. On Bolzenstrasse these are ID cards F and G.
Optimal parking options for visitors
However, visitors to the Christmas market need not worry. You can also park elsewhere, with several alternatives offered. Good options include parking on Bäringerstraße, Kaiserpfalz, Füllkuhle, Hildesheimer Straße and Osterfeld, where there is enough space for all guests. With a bit of luck you'll definitely find a place for the car there.
The Christmas market is not only celebrated in Goslar. There are numerous beautiful markets across the country that attract people from near and far. According to the ADAC editorial team, you can find everything from small, tranquil village festivals to large urban events.
