Strasbourg Christmas Market — LGBTQ+ Friendly Visit

The Strasbourg Christkindelsmärik (Christmas Market) is the oldest in France and one of the most famous in Europe, running from late November to December 31. While not an LGBTQ+ event per se, the market attracts several million visitors and the city's gay bars and hotels report their highest occupancy of the year during the Christmas season. Le Gayot and L'Alchimiste both decorate for the season and see heavy visitor traffic. The combination of fairytale Alsatian architecture, glühwein, and the festive atmosphere makes this one of the most popular times for LGBTQ+ travellers to visit Strasbourg.
