Regensburg's ticketed market fills the courtyard of Schloss St. Emmeram, where the Thurn und Taxis princes keep their palace. The 2026 run starts on Friday 20 November and ends on 23 December, with the gates shut on Totensonntag. Weekday gates open at 15:00 and weekend gates at 14:00, so this is an afternoon-into-evening market.
Pick your day by price. Adults pay €6.50 on Mondays and €13.50 on Saturdays, and children aged 6 to 16 go in free on Sundays, which the organizer calls family day. An evening ticket after 19:00 from Monday to Thursday costs €5.50.
Worth knowing
- Go on a Sunday with children, when ages 6 to 16 enter free.
- Buy an evening ticket after 19:00 on a weekday if you only want a mug of something hot and a walk round the courtyard.
