The historic Salzburg Christkindlmarkt on Cathedral and Residenzplatz squares has been in existence since the late 15th century – which makes it, not only one of the most beautiful, but also one of the oldest Christmas markets in Europe.
Hellbrunn Advent Magic, set against the backdrop of magnificent Hellbrunn Palace, is especially roma n- tic and festive.
