Advent & Christmas in Salzburg
Advent is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful times for the city of Salzburg. In the 2007 European Christmas market study, the Salzburg Christmas market by the cathedral and residence was chosen as one of the most beautiful markets in German speaking areas. The magic of Advent around Hellbrun also received top marks. If you are in Salzburg during Advent, you should also not miss out on the smaller markets at Mirabellplatz, in the Sterngarten, St. Peter’s Abbey, in Maxglan or at the high-Salzburg fort.
