We took the train from Schliersee and arrived just after dark. The lights were so festive and Christmasy. The weather was cool and crisp, and the new fallen snow surrounded the area. Kids were ice skating on the manmade rink on the edge of the vendors. We found the vendors to be very pleasant and very conversational. Which is great, especially given that my German consists of 10 words. We always enjoy a few minutes on the lock bridge as we walk towards the market. Always amazed at how long people have been hanging locks there. I highly recommend taking a stroll through the market and enjoying some great food. Try the handmade pizza. Delicious.

Our guide was excellent and the tour was good. However getting to the meeting point was very difficult because of lack of information on where and how to park.

I was here for the Christmas market. If you like market food, you’ll have no problem finding something to eat. Lots of glühwein for the cold temps. But you’ll find no hot chocolate. There are other hot drinks, but I stayed with glühwein. Did not experience anything bad. Just be aware of your bags and pockets when its crowded.

We are a family of 5 (with 3 girls ages 11,11 & 9) and all of us really enjoyed the tour with Michaela. Our group was really fun and it provided us with so much valuable information. Michaela was so good with our girls, and even made it fun for them, She was always careful to include the girls in all the conversations. Besides, Salzburg is really magicak during Christmas.

It's a big Christmas Market, that spreads through the old downtown streets and gardens. Plenty of things to see, crafts, food, mulled wines and warm punsches, winter clothes and local treasures. A truly fun experience.
