2The Salzburg Christmas Market, Austria
The largest Christmas market in all Austria can be found in the famous city of Mozart. It is known as the Salzburg Christmas Market. This market has been documented as far back as the 1400s. You will find it near the impressive Cathedral of Salzburg at the very foot of the mighty Hohensalzburg Fortress.
The market itself is decked with holiday-scented candles, vibrant floral arrangements, and traditional red and green lights. There are many events and displays specifically for the seasonal celebration. That includes nativity exhibits in the attractive Residenz courtyard, the popular “Turmblasen” show (in English “wind instruments”) on Residenz Square and a choral performance in front of the famous cathedral.
