About the market
The Bratislava Christmas Markets (Bratislavské vianočné trhy), branded Bratislavské Vianoce, have been held in the Old Town every year since 1993. They are split across several sites. The 'Main Christmas Markets' are on the Main Square (Hlavné námestie) and the neighbouring Primate's Square, by the Old Town Hall and the Primate's Palace. The 'Old Town Christmas Markets' are on the long, tree-lined Hviezdoslav Square near the Slovak National Theatre. A medieval-themed market is also held in the courtyard of Bratislava Castle. Traditionally the markets ran from the end of November to 23 December. Recent editions have paused for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and then reopened until early January. Visit Bratislava, the city tourism board, lists the 2026 Christmas markets from 26 November 2026 to 3 January 2027.
