Tour Details

Experience Christmas spirit in three lakes/villages and one picturesque city in one day. The whole day we'll spend in Alp's region, where we'll visit traditional Christmas markets. Hallstatt will greet us with a Christmas fairytale atmosphere, we'll walk across narrow medieval streets, and take a stop for Mulled Wine and Christmas cookies. The Salzburg Christkindlmarkt at the Dom and Residenzplatz has deep historical roots and is one of the world’s oldest Advent markets.

It's a unique setting in the heart of Salzburg’s World Heritage-listed Old City, the traditional market stands, and its long history make the Salzburg Christkindlmarkt a truly special occasion. Local folk customs and traditional decorations for the Christmas tree, gifts for big and small, all kinds of delectable treats in the form of Austrian specialties, mulled wine, and hot punch: at the Christmas market on Salzburg’s Cathedral Square, you will discover practically everything you could possibly wish for.
