Who it's for
For travellers who want to see Amiens in Advent without their own car: a day trip by train, including journeys with a change in Paris, an Advent weekend with a museum and the cathedral, or a family afternoon around Santa’s village and the ice rink. It also helps if you are coming between Christmas and New Year, because it separates what still runs from 28 to 30 December from what has already finished.

Questions about this product
When is the Amiens Christmas market in 2026?
The main market is announced for 20 November to 30 December 2026. Published hours are 11:00–19:30 Monday to Thursday and Sunday, and 11:00–21:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. The main chalets close at 17:00 on 24 and 30 December and stay closed on 25 December. Entry is free.
What can I do in Amiens if it rains?
The guide suggests choosing one cultural venue as the main stop and adding a short market walk. The Musée de Picardie is normally closed on Mondays and Maison de Jules Verne on Tuesdays, so the day of the week decides which one works. Route 4 is built for a rainy afternoon.
When does Chroma take place on the cathedral?
The city’s Chroma event page for 2026 gives 27 November to 27 December, with a 19:00 start and a duration of 50 minutes. A general programme page shows an older, different date range, so check the current announcement before travelling for the event.
Can I visit without a car?
Yes. The organisers describe Gare d’Amiens as within walking distance of the first chalets, with rue de Noyon leading to the market. The guide covers return connections, Ametis buses and late services, and how to fit Chroma around your train home.
Is this an official guide from the city or the organiser?
No. Tabiara is an independent publisher and not the organiser of any event in Amiens. Names are used for orientation, and the guide lists the official sources so you can check current details before you go.
