Several Christmas markets give Salzburg a unique flair during Advent. All offer local specialties like Stollen, sweet fruit bread with rich ingredients like nuts, marzipan, and spices or freshly roasted chestnuts as well as mulled wine and alcohol-free mulled apple juice.
Dating back to 1491 this Christmas market in Salzburg is one of the oldest in Europe. With its fortress towering high over the city and the cathedral in the background, the market stalls dot the romantic square.

More than 100 illuminated Moravian stars flood the castle grounds and courtyard with festive light. This Christmas market in Salzburg is not only its highest but also great fun for the whole family. Whilst the parents can sip mulled wine, the children can bake, under supervision cookies or create Christmas cards.

Apart from seasonal delicatessen like bake apples, you find here also a wide selection of handcrafted gifts like hand-painted Christmas baubles.
