Tips & Advice
- Step into the Rathaus Fletz on the Karlsplatz for the Lebende Weihnachtswerkstatt, where regional artisans demonstrate their crafts and sell their work during market hours.
- Look for handmade gifts like ceramics, baubles, wooden toys, wool goods and jewelry, since mass-produced and throwaway goods aren't allowed at the 26 stalls.
- Come Friday to Sunday on the second or third Advent weekend, as the market does not open on the weekdays in between.
- Browse the Lions Club Buchbazar too, but note it opens later than the market on Fridays and Sundays.
- Dress warmly for an evening on the Karlsplatz, when music groups, singers and the big light display bring the old town square to life.
