Enjoy the Magic of Stuttgart’s Christmas Markets and save money for your holiday shopping with our Early Bird Discount!

Army Outdoor Recreation makes it easy to visit one of Europe's oldest and most spectacular holiday markets, Stuttgart, with convenient departures from both Smith and Pulaski Barracks.

Boasting over 300 years of history, Stuttgart's market transforms the massive city center into a sparkling winter wonderland. At Stuttgart's Christmas Market you can:

  • Marvel at the uniquely decorated rooftops of nearly 300 wooden cabins, featuring elaborate, animated holiday scenes that compete for the title of "best decorated stall."
  • Explore the magical Finnish Christmas Village on Karlsplatz to try authentic wood-fired smoked salmon, hot berry Glögi, and cozy reindeer-pelt seating.
  • Wander through the historic Schlossplatz, framed by majestic illuminated castles, a giant Ferris wheel, and a festive miniature railway.
  • Warm up with hearty Swabian culinary specialties like Schupfnudeln (potato noodles) and fresh Maultaschen paired with a piping-hot mug of spiced Glühwein.
  • Shop for exquisite, handmade wooden toys, traditional German nutcrackers, and beautiful beeswax candles from local artisans.

From animated rooftop displays to cozy Finnish holiday traditions, Stuttgart is waiting to be discovered. Save your Euros for the shopping! An early bird discount applies until the 22nd seat is filled. Choose your departure from Pulaski or Smith Barracks and reserve your spaces today! Don't make a fuss, just get on the bus!
