What to expect

Thun’s Christmas market stretches from Waisenhausplatz to Mühleplatz in the compact old town, with stalls, seasonal snacks, and decorations. Family highlights include Samichlaus on December 9 and donkey rides on December 13 and 20 at Rathausplatz, both listed separately. Food stalls stay open through December 28, after the craft market closes. Entry is free.
