Verein Salzburger Christkindlmarkt

The Salzburg Christkindlmarkt at the Cathedral and Residence Square in the historic old town of Salzburg (UNESCO World Heritage Site) is one of the oldest and most traditional Christmas markets in the world. Its roots date back to 1491, when the so-called “Tandlmarkt” was first held. Today, the market delights not only visitors from all over the world, but especially locals, with a diverse offering of handicrafts, culinary delicacies, and authentic traditions. In addition, the Salzburg Christkindlmarkt Association also organizes the popular ice skating at Mozartplatz and the atmospheric two-day New Year's Eve program featuring music, culture, and living traditions, making the turn of the year a special experience.
