Christmas market in the city of Salzburg

The Christmas market in the city of Salzburg has always exerted a special fascination. On the squares around the cathedral, a wide variety of exhibitors offer their products and treats. The market is accompanied by musical events such as the traditional tower blowing every Saturday evening on Residenzplatz. The Christmas market on Mirabellplatz and the romantic Advent magic in Hellbrunn are also worth a visit. Experience the Mozart city of Salzburg at the most contemplative time of the year and enjoy one of the Advent concerts in the Festspielhaus or the Andräkirche alongside the Advent markets.

"During our 200 Years of Silent Night trip with the Edtbrustner travel agency, my parents and I had the opportunity to spend two nights at this wonderful hotel. We were so comfortable, and found the rooms to be delightful, spacious and clean. All our meals were very good, and just what we wanted. The snow also helped to put us in the proper Christmas mood :-)"
