Salzburg in Austria is one of the best places to go for quality and variety in Christmas markets. Here we show you no less than three different markets.
One market is by the magnificent Baroque cathedral. Another by Andräkirche and the third out at Hellbrunn Palace, where the Bishop-Prince used to reside.
Salzburg was an independent mini-state ruled by a Bishop-Prince until the Napoleonic wars.
You can still feel this self-contained grandeur in the magnificent Baroque architectural pearls of Salzburg city.
