Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on both days to fully experience the market before the 4 PM opening, allowing time to explore the stalls and enjoy the festive atmosphere at your own pace.
- Check the local weather forecast and dress in warm layers, as the market is an outdoor event and November in Austria can be quite chilly.
- Bring cash for purchases at the market stalls, as not all vendors may accept card payments.
- If attending the Krampus Run, be aware that it can be a lively and sometimes boisterous event; position yourself safely and enjoy the spectacle.
- Consider visiting the market on Friday to potentially avoid larger crowds that may gather on Saturday.
