Bolzano…

Bolzano is home to the largest Christmas market in South Tyrol, located in Piazza Walther, which features a breathtaking light show. The historic centre surrounding the square is also magnificent, elaborately decorated and charming as Christmas approaches. The town hall square with Christmas craft exhibitions, the Silbergasse street, the Kornplatz square with the charity market and the famous arches with traditional shops await characters from the world of fairy tales… What adds magic to all this are the traditional conservative values ​​of the Alps and relaxed Mediterranean life. It’s a unique blend of styles. The irresistible Waltherplatz square offers a wide choice of concerts and readings and an abundance of Christmas gifts and delicious treats. Zelten awaits you, the traditional fruit cake with the delightful scent of cinnamon and cloves. 

Bressanone

The Bressanone Christmas market, near the Cathedral, is located in the magical setting of Piazza Domplatz, where the Parish Church of San Michele and the Town Hall are located. We take a glass of mulled wine or hot apple juice and let ourselves be carried away by the magic of the cheerful Christmas atmosphere. Walking among the handmade Christmas decorations and wooden sculptures displayed at the stands, a wide choice of sweet and savoury South Tyrolean delicacies awaits us, from speck-flavoured dumplings to Kaiserschmarrn and grated pancakes. We will be able to go back to being children in a fairytale environment and travel back in time with the historic steam carousel. Or we can take an exciting tour of the old city with a light carriage. Or we can stroll to the Hofburg, the magnificent former residence of the Prince Bishops of Bressanone and home to the Diözesanmuseum, which displays an impressive collection of nativity scenes and other treasures.
