The Giebelhüüskesmarkt huddles against the medieval walls of the Liebfrauen-Überwasser Church near the university. From the square you can see the illuminated towers of St Paul's Cathedral. Come for handicrafts, some unusual treats and a young, student atmosphere. Like the Lichtermarkt, it already closes on 22 December.
