Colors of Gummersbach - traditions, festivals, mentality and lifestyle
If you ask local people for help, they will never refuse to provide it.

These are perhaps the main rules that tourists should observe when visiting Gummersbach. The main value in the life of every local resident is the family, they spend most of their free time in a warm circle of loved ones.

Activities for kids are also available - they can have plenty of fun on a playground or a volleyball court.

Of course, the city's most important religious holiday is Christmas. It's just impossible to imagine a German city without a Christmas Fair, or Weihnachtsmarkt. It starts on 8 Marktstraße in mid-December and ends just before Christmas. All those who are lucky enough to visit the city at this time can feel for themselves how thin the line between reality and fairy tale is. It seems as if reality breaks under the pressure of a fairy tale, yielding its place rightfully. The city itself changes, and it seems as if Weihnachtsmann himself along with his retinue lives around here at this time. And it's quite possible!

The government allowed serving alcoholic drinks during the New Year countdown but only open-air cafes and restaurants with good ventilation will be permitted to do this until 1 am on 1 January 2022.
