Stroll thru the markets

Published on Dec, 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with our guide! She was thoughtful and very kind and showed us some of the best out of the way areas and the best places to purchase local items. The food tastings were also great!

Beautiful early Christmas in Salzburg

Published on Dec, 2023

We took the train from Schliersee and arrived just after dark. The lights were so festive and Christmasy. The weather was cool and crisp, and the new fallen snow surrounded the area. Kids were ice skating on the manmade rink on the edge of the vendors. We found the vendors to be very pleasant and very conversational. Which is great, especially given that my German consists of 10 words. We always enjoy a few minutes on the lock bridge as we walk towards the market. Always amazed at how long people have been hanging locks there. I highly recommend taking a stroll through the market and enjoying some great food. Try the handmade pizza. Delicious.

Go for the chicken sticks and fries

Published on Dec, 2022

I was here for the Christmas market. If you like market food, you’ll have no problem finding something to eat. Lots of glühwein for the cold temps. But you’ll find no hot chocolate. There are other hot drinks, but I stayed with glühwein. Did not experience anything bad. Just be aware of your bags and pockets when its crowded.

Good for Adults and kids

Published on Jan, 2020

We are a family of 5 (with 3 girls ages 11,11 & 9) and all of us really enjoyed the tour with Michaela. Our group was really fun and it provided us with so much valuable information. Michaela was so good with our girls, and even made it fun for them, She was always careful to include the girls in all the conversations. Besides, Salzburg is really magicak during Christmas.

Nice

Published on Dec, 2019

It's a big Christmas Market, that spreads through the old downtown streets and gardens. Plenty of things to see, crafts, food, mulled wines and warm punsches, winter clothes and local treasures. A truly fun experience.
