Bolzano Christmas Market

22 November-6 January 2019. Cinnamon, spices, mulled wine, homemade cakes.

Bolzano Christmas Market is one of the most anticipated events in South Tyrol every year.
The market opens its doors on Thursday, November 22, 2018, up until Sunday, January 6, 2019.

For over a month, a festive atmosphere fills the streets and squares of the historic centre: flickering candles, joyful Christmas songs, decorations and the sweet flavour of Zelten (a cake made with nuts and dried fruit), apple Strudel, homemade biscuits and hot chocolate.
Magic is everywhere: perfumes, lights and colours of Christmas make this event a unique and unforgettable experience for children and adults.

About 80 house-shaped stalls display local products, such as wood-carved sculptures and handcrafted artistic objects. The event is also accompanied by traditional music, choirs and ensembles.

The five South Tyrol Christmas Markets have been awarded the “Green Event” certification because of their eco-friendly principles and their use of regional products.
