Innsbruck’s Christmas Markets

A Touch of Tyrolean Magic

Christmas markets used to sell just spruce and fir trees for people to bring some aromatic decorative cheer into their wintry homes. Nowadays, with their variety, tradition and spectacle, Innsbruck’s Christmas markets are amongst the most famous in the world, and what makes them even greater is … there are seven of them!
