Tips & Advice

  • Book tickets in advance, especially for popular dates, as early booking offers the best prices and guarantees entry.
  • Dress warmly and wear comfortable, sturdy footwear, as the event is outdoors and involves walking, even in cold or wet weather.
  • Consider visiting on a weekday or during off-peak hours for a potentially less crowded experience and better ticket prices.
  • Check the 'Ihr Besuch' (Your Visit) page for the most up-to-date information on opening hours, entry times, and directions before your visit.
  • While photos are encouraged, leave drones at home due to safety regulations; focus on capturing the magical moments with your camera or phone.
