Mein Beck, Christmas market in Merano, Italy.
Mein Beck is a Christmas market in Merano with over 80 wooden stalls spread across the spa promenade and several public squares. The booths sell handcrafted items, Christmas decorations, warm clothing, and regional winter food specialties.
The market preserves a centuries-old Alpine tradition of winter celebrations that brings together Italian and German-speaking customs in South Tyrol. This blend of two cultural backgrounds shapes the character of the market today.
Local artisans display handcrafted candles, Christmas decorations, and traditional food from South Tyrol, reflecting regional crafting traditions. These products blend Italian and German-speaking influences in ways you can observe directly in the booths and flavors.
The market spreads across several squares in the city center, so walking around to explore all the stalls is worthwhile. You get the best experience in the early hours when it is less crowded and the selection is still abundant.
A separate area offers children an ice skating rink, a petting zoo, and a carousel as a break from the market bustle. This makes the place a family outing where every age finds something to enjoy.
