Basel

Basel-Stadt · Switzerland

Admission and costs
Admission to the markets is free. Theaterplatz village follows a different calendar from Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz; food, purchases and museum visits are additional expenses outside free market access.
Getting there
Arrive at Basel SBB and take a tram to Barfüsserplatz, the access point also recommended by Swiss railways. Continue on foot to Münsterplatz; Theaterplatz forms a separate third stop in the winter village.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Basel Historical Museum inside Barfüsserkirche stands directly on the market square. Replace an outdoor stop with indoor city history; museum admission requires a separate ticket.
Where to park
Parkhaus Elisabethen is a paid car park at Steinentorberg 5. It has wheelchair-accessible parking spaces.

San Candido

Autonomous Province of Bolzano · Trentino-South Tyrol · Italy

Admission and costs
Craft purchases and food make up the market budget; the DoloMythos Museum has its own admission, separate from spending at the chalets. The market is closed on Christmas Day although its overall season runs through Epiphany.
Getting there
Arrive at San Candido station on the Val Pusteria railway. The official listing places it around one kilometre from the centre; continue on foot towards Piazza San Michele for the market, returning afterwards to the same railway station.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The DoloMythos Museum at Via Peter Paul Rainer 11 offers an indoor exploration of the Dolomites. Museum admission and opening hours are independent of the market and should not be confused with any separate Christmas initiatives at the venue.
Where to park
Parcheggio Ovest is free and sits at the western entrance to San Candido. Continue into the centre on foot.
