Separate free public space from paid attractions

The Bock area, Corniche, squares, neighbourhoods, parks, and viewpoints can create a full cultural day. Interior attractions such as the Casemates and some museums may charge admission or require booking.

Check current official listings before promising yourself a free interior visit. This guide deliberately focuses on reliable public-space experiences.

In winter

From 20 November 2026 to 3 January 2027 the city's Winterlights season brings Christmas markets, events and a Winterlights Promenade. The city's tourist office lists each day's programme.

That makes it possible to decide before the trip whether the digital souvenir collection belongs in your budget.
