Christmas Markets

Christmas Markets are held annually in many European cities.  They have been a tradition in Salzburg Austria dating back to the late 15th century.

The main Christmas Market in Salzburg is held at Cathedral Square.  It is commonly called "Nikolaimarkt" (Saint Nicholas' Market).

Other winter markets operate at Mirabellplatz (square) and at Schloss Helbrunn (palace).

Thousands of people travel to Salzburg from across Europe to enjoy the snowcapped mountains and picturesque community.  The Christmas Markets and Christmas lights are an additional bonus.
