Over 250 stalls in a medieval old town that goes car-free for four days. ⛔ The figure comes from the organiser itself – press reports say "over 320", the association on its own site says "over 250". We carry the lower one, because it comes from the source that is accountable for it.

The food and drink stands stay open an hour longer than the market every evening, two hours on Saturdays. That is not a detail but the design of the event: first shop, then stay – the stalls close, the tavern does not.

🕐 2 opening hours closure days included
A market running «28 November to 24 December» still has days when nothing happens — and at the weekend it often stays open two hours longer. That is exactly what stands here, in the organiser's own words.

📍 Location and access of the markets
Two markets in the same town rarely stand in the same place, and «old town» is not a route. Hence every published location separately — the square, the station, the lane.
