Castle Schwetzingen Easter Market

Eggs & Other Spring Delights!

Travel with us to one of the largest and most spectacular Easter Egg markets in Germany. A bounty of springtime treasures is waiting to be discovered inside the halls of Castle Schloss Schwetzingen. However, before we arrive at this unique egg market, we stop in a city that is considered one of the most beautiful in Germany and in the neighborhood, Heidelberg.

The harmonious interaction of the majestic castle ruins, the picturesque old town with its narrow cobble stone streets and the winding river used to inspire poets and painters as well as millions of visitors from all over the world. Today, Heidelberg is a center of culture, an international city of science as well as a city to relax and explore. The car-free main street is lined with bistros, cafes and restaurants and is one of the longest pedestrian areas in Europe and a shopping mile par excellence.

Next stop is the Schwetzingen Palace and Royal Gardens, a masterpiece of rare beauty and the perfect backdrop for this colorful Easter Egg market. Schwetzingen Palace Gardens are a cultural heritage site of European significance with more than one hundred sculptures scattered throughout this enchanting, and at times surprising, landscape. An assortment of whimsical buildings lends an exotic touch. The quality merchandise of this egg market draws shoppers from all over the country for the chance to purchase unique, artisanal Easter eggs. These beautiful treasures range from simple to exquisite, from locally crafted to rare foreign gems. The eggs you’ll find here come in every material and style imaginable using hollowed-out bird eggs, wood, glass, ceramic, paper and other materials employing both traditional and contemporary methods.
