Käthe Wohlfahrt

While not originally from Barcelona, this shop has truly become a Christmas hotspot in recent years. The German chain store from Rothenburg-ob-der-Tauber opened its doors in Barcelona in 2019 and brought to the Catalan capital its own brand of Christmas cheer with a typically Bavarian flavor. Conveniently located on Carrer dels Banys Nous, one of Barcelona’s most emblematic streets, it organically became a Christmas favorite for tourists and locals alike. The shop has been designed to look like a fairytale Christmas village, with staff greeting you in traditional Bavarian clothing and a massive tree in the middle sparkling with every ornament imaginable. So, even if you don’t end up buying anything, visiting it is still worthwhile, if only for a sheer dose of holiday magic to transport you back to your childhood! All of Käthe Wohlfahrt products are entirely hand-made and designed to satisfy all tastes – and you can even find unique pieces inspired by Catalan holiday traditions and Gaudi designs. Don’t forget to take an obligatory selfie with a huge Nutcracker by the entrance for a full experience!
